While my family can take care of them in my absence, I have a dog and an elderly cat of my own so I tend to juggle their care on a daily basis, including walks and small trips on days that permit thenlm.

Veiligheid, vertrouwen & omgeving

As my home does not have accommodations for other dogs, while housesitting for your pets I will will make my presence the top priority and will render whatever services are required. In case of emergency, I'm willing to provide veterinarian visits so long as an address is provided (I would ask for a means of payment for the visit so I don't have to pay the medical bills out of pocket naturally but I'd never put your family in danger over it if you can't get back to me immediately). On the subject of health, if a dog requires medication, just give me the method to administer it and I'll handle it. Believe you me, I've dealt with some dogs who were very reluctant to take their pills but I will always find a way.

Informatie die Ian W. graag over jouw huisdier wilt weten

As per my usual method, I like to meet the dogs ahead of time to know if I'll be a good fit for them. Some dogs just don't like certain people and while I've never met a dog I didn't like, sometimes something as simple as having a full beard can be stressful for certain dogs, especially rescues from abusive homes, so it's absolutely critical that I meet them as soon as possible to ensure that my presence does not distress them. Every dog has different needs and I want to guarantee I can meet those needs.

Een typische dag

For my own dog, I like to take her either to the local dog park or to the walking trails nearby, depending on the day and her mood. If you have any spots nearby that your dogs like to take day trips to, I will gladly commute there for their benefit.

Calm and Empathetic House-sitter

Ervaring met huisdierenverzorging

From a young age I've been very good at approaching pets that their owners considered to be 'antisocial' or 'unfriendly'. I have a strong desire to see shy and nervous pets come out of their shells on their own terms, and have developed a sense of diligence based on this desire. After all, you can't force an animal to be your friend. I have a great deal of experience with dogs ranging from baby puppies to the elderly, and with cats of all ages as well. I offer overnight services primarily due to lacking a fence of my own, but I can provide park visits and walks on most days of any given week. Overnights are no issue and, especially at the moment, I rarely have obligations that interfere. My work schedule is currently very flexible, and unfortunately for me the hours are very low as well. Fortunately for you, this means that I have very little that would require my absence from your pets! I like to schedule meet-and-greets ahead of time to learn from the source the needs and wants of my clients and their dogs, free of charge of course.

Ian is the best! We have booked him twice in the last couple of months to come and stay at our house to watch our two dogs- his communication is great! He responds right away, sends us pictures, and updates us all of the time, and best of all?! Our dogs love him!
