I would definitely recommend Ian to watch your pet! It was great knowing that our dog could be at home and was in good hands while we were away for the weekend. We also loved the pictures and updates we received!

Ian did a great job caring for my sweet senior girl while we were out of town for a weekend. He spent time hanging out with her, and they even walked to some garage sales around my neighborhood. It was clear by the photos that she was enjoying herself. She was happy and content when we returned home. We will definitely book Ian when we go out of town in the future!

Ian is the most reliable and caring pet sitter I have ever had. He’s so sweet with my dog and cats, they love him! Most importantly though I truly feel secure knowing they’re being taken care of well and safe when I leave.

If you’re reading this, you’ve found the right dog sitter/walker! Ian came to let my dogs out and walk them while I was away on a work trip for 3 days. I had coverage overnight but needed someone to check on my two pups throughout the day, and Ian knocked it out of the park! By the time I was home you would have sworn they were his dogs, they barely cared to see me! I’d recommend Ian to anyone, seriously he did an amazing job!!
