Vet Tech GF 🤝 Work From Home BF

Pet care experience

🐶 New Clients can use promo code: IANB21081 for $20 off your first booking! 🐶 Hi there! We are Ian & Valerie, a Computer Science student and a Veterinary Technician with a passion for animals of all kinds. We are the proud owners of Sticks Bartholomew, a speedy 8-month old tortoise, Porridge, a cuddly 2-year old hedgehog, and Cocomelon, the "oinkiest" 1 year old Bichon/Shih Tzu mix. We both have had the privilege to care for a variety of pets - from dogs and cats to reptiles, livestock, and pocket pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, and hedgehogs. No matter their size, age, or species, we approach each and every one with the same love and dedication. Valerie is currently studying to become a veterinarian, and in tandem, Ian is working on an application/program that would connect shelters to prospective owners who are looking to adopt their fur-ever friends. ____________________________________________ **While we will most likely be together to meet you and your furry friend during meet and greets, at the moment, Valerie is available to assist with Drop-In's or Walks, while Ian is available for Drop-In's, Walks, and House Sittings as he mostly studies and works part time nearby. Depending on the request type, we are able to service Jupiter to Boca Raton! We are also able to service cities south of Boca Raton, but we do ask to let us know at least 2 weeks in advance! ____________________________________________

This was my first time getting a sitter for my dogs and Ian definitely made me feel at ease. I received pictures and videos everyday while I was gone of how much fun they were having. He took them to the beach and on multiple walks everyday. Ian spoiled them rotten everyday with lots of cuddles and love! I will definitely be using Ian again with all of my dog sitting needs!!

Ian is the best when it comes to watching my dog. My dog is usually very nervous when it comes to new people, so that fact that he started brining Ian is toys is a huge step for him. Ian even made a book for my dog that has pictures and writes what they did each day while I was gone. It made my entire week to see that when I got back home. I can always trust that he’s in good hands, and it puts my anxiety at ease. The best dog sitter ever by far!

Ian is the first and probably only dog sitter I will have for Winnie. My little guy takes three medications in the morning and another 3 at night, because he’s at risk of congenital heart failure. Ian is able to give Winnie his medications and dinner after walking him. It puts a lot of ease on me knowing that my baby is well taken care of. Ian always sends me rover cards, which I didn’t even know existed until he started watching Winnie. Every time he comes he walks Winnie for about 30 minutes and even takes pics so I can see him. As well as writes a little report card about what they did that day. I always look forward to the rover card, it’s my favorite thing. I’m in the BFA acting program in school, so a lot of days I’m at school for 12 hours or more. It helps put my mind at ease to know that my pups is well taken care of. It’s really important to me that Winnie continues with socialization since he has also been fearful of other dogs and I have worked hard on him even being okay in the vicinity of them. So Ian will take him to the dog park in my neighborhood as I would or even bring his dog. Overall Ian is the best. Winnie and I both love him!
