Pet care experience

Four paw friendly explorer.

I've walked dogs and cared for them since I was 10. Dogs respond well to me as I never have a problem getting down to a dogs level. I love to I play with them which can mean getting chased, chasing or even just a good game of fetch. Your dog will always have a friend here. Feeding is no issue for me as I usually am in the kitchen in my freetime as well. Food is a language everyone speaks.

He took really good care of my little girl . She really doesn’t like other dogs . But she did pretty darn good. And I think she made some doggy friends. Thank you so much

Ian he was a really awesome sitter. He took very good care of my pup. It was her first time being boarded. He made sure she was very comfortable and while taking care of during her day, he sent many messages and pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I would highly recommend for your next boarding experience you book with him!

I definitely recommend booking with Ian! Our pup was well loved. Ian communicated with updates and sent pictures. It was super reassuring to know our pup was in safe hands while we were traveling. We will absolutely be booking with Ian in the future!

Ian was absolutely great with our dog. He was responsive and went out of his way to communicate, send updates, and just keep me in the loop on how things were going. Our dog came home well cared for and well adjusted. He obviously had been in a caring environment. I highly recommend Ian!
