Dog Care: Walks, Play, Health

Pet care experience

As an entrepreneur working on my own start-up, I have the advantage of a flexible schedule, which allows me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. My commitment to my dogs' health and happiness is a top priority. Every day, I take them out for a walk from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning, ensuring they start their day with fresh air and physical activity, regardless of the weather conditions. This morning walk is also a peaceful time for me, offering a moment of tranquility before the day's work begins. In the afternoons, I dedicate time between 5 to 7 pm for a visit to the local dog park. This is an essential part of our routine, as it provides my dogs with the opportunity to socialize with other dogs, play freely, and enjoy a different environment. The timing of this outing can vary slightly depending on the weather, ensuring the comfort and safety of my pets. Apart from these walks, I also incorporate other aspects of pet care into my daily life. This includes regular feeding times, ensuring they have a balanced diet tailored to their specific needs. Lastly, routine veterinary check-ups and keeping up-to-date with vaccinations and preventive medicines are scheduled as needed, ensuring their long-term health and well-being. In essence, caring for my dogs is a significant and enjoyable part of my daily life, providing a wonderful balance to my work and personal life.

I highly recommend Ian Stavros for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker through Rover. He is extremely reliable, arriving on time and prompt in responding to messages. He didn't just walk my dogs; he engaged in play, ensured they stayed hydrated, and demonstrated a genuine care for the animals in his charge. Despite walking several dogs at once, he managed them with ease and ensured each received individual attention. His ability to handle a group of dogs speaks volumes about his expertise and confidence in managing diverse canine personalities.

Ian took great care of our playful 1 year old goldendoodle, Cevi! Ian was quick to respond to questions and accommodated our changes in drop-off/pick-up time. We received some photo updates and messages throughout the day, which reassured us Cevi was in great hands. It was awesome to see our dog enjoying himself, especially knowing he was playing with other pups in a safe and supervised area. When we picked Cevi up, Ian spent time sharing his observations on how he did. Ian was very reliable, provided our fur baby love and affection, and most of all gave us peace of mind during our time away. If you need a place for an energetic dog and someone who genuinely cares and wants to spend time with your dog, Ian is the perfect person to choose for that!

I'm currently starting my own company and therefore have a flexible time schedule to look after your pets. From 8:30-9:30 am I am out walking my dogs, or taking them to one of the nearby parks to socialize and play 5-7 pm, I am taking them again to the local dog park to let them get out all of their energy from napping all day.
