Ifan is great and took good care of my dog Aspen. She comes home happy and healthy. I appreciate Ivan’s flexibility. I would ask him to dog sit for me again.

I cannot recommend Ifan enough! I chose to travel outside my city just so Toshi could stay with him, and it was the best decision ever. Ifan is incredibly caring, responsible, and treated my little guy like royalty. I knew Toshi was in the safest hands possible. If you need a sitter, do whatever it takes to book Ifan—he's truly one of a kind!"

Ifan is my go-to dog sitter! He's super reliable and my Frenchie loves staying with him and his family. Highly recommend him!

We had a great experience having him watch our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. He was great with communication and sent us pictures and updates multiple times a day, which gave us peace of mind knowing the dogs were doing well. Our dogs loved him and seemed to have a great time the entire stay. He even let them enjoy the pool one day when it was really hot outside. Overall, he did an amazing job taking care of them, and we look forward to having him watch them again!

Our Great Dane has stayed with Ifan on three separate occasions while we've been out of town. He's very responsive, checks in with ongoing updates and photos, and is very flexible coordinating pick up and drop off times. Ifan is very good with our Great Dane, and we are very grateful to have a consistent place for our girl to stay when we are away.

Ifan is great. Very quick and responsive communication. He is great with our pup and we get daily pictures and updates while he is in Ifan's care. Also came home looking like a stud with a very cute banana. Highly recommend.

Schedule

I work from home, which allows me to provide pet care around the clock—weekdays and weekends. Your dog will always be engaged with toys, treats, and activities to keep them happy and occupied. Plus, my wife and I care for the dogs together, ensuring they always receive the attention and supervision they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I have three well-trained, healthy dogs who love making new friends—so your pup will always have great company! All of my dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated, and very well-behaved, which helps create a safe, fun, and balanced environment during your dog’s stay. We also have a big backyard and a large swimming pool, so if your pup enjoys splashing around, they can enjoy a refreshing swim break too! Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or pool time, your dog will feel right at home here and be cared for like family.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is structured, active, and filled with care. From morning cuddles and a healthy breakfast to park walks, fetch, and midday rest, your dog gets the perfect balance of exercise and relaxation. I handle leash training, clean-ups, feeding schedules, and finish the day with evening strolls, playtime, and a comfortable wind-down. For the summer months, I also have a pool available for dogs who enjoy swimming—adding an extra layer of fun and exercise during their stay.
