Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat or dog person? Why not both.
I've been looking after my family's cats and dogs since I was about 10. My wife and I currently have a tuxedo cat who's kind of a dunderhead sometimes, but she means well. At heart I'm a dog person, but have grown to love cats (almost) equally. I have experience bathing, feeding, and applying basic medications with both types of animals.

Ratings and reviews
He is absolutely the best cat sitter !! Thank you so much
Ian is very attentive and diligent. My cats were comfortable with him from the beginning, which is 50% of the cat sitting IMO. Glad to see two happy cats when we returned. We will definitely hire him again. Thank you, Ian.
Ian did a great job taking care of my cat!
Ian did a great job with our little Lola! She is thrilled to have such a good person taking care of her and we are very comfortable leaving her in his care!
Ian does such a nice job taking care of our two dogs. He has taken them out for daily walks and covered brief stays while I've traveled. He is flexible, friendly, communicative and accommodating. I trust Ian and know both dogs look forward to their next adventures with him!
Ian took good care of Amadeus and was available during a busy holiday weekend which is super appreciated. However - I’m typically super hands off with sitters - I barely read the chats unless there’s an emergency, and trust that the sitter will be there on time and care for Amadeus. Unfortunately I had to have a lot of back-and-forth with Ian due to being late because of other commitments, miscommunication over chat etc. So I had to keep checking if Amadeus was being fed on time etc., which is not a good experience when on a trip. Overall good experience and I’ll recommend Ian, but better communication and punctuality would be great.

Schedule
I work remotely with a fairly flexible schedule on weekdays. Noon and after is the most open for walks or visits, but I can make mornings work if I don't have meetings. I'm pretty widely available on weekends as well.
