This was the perfect option for us! We received pictures and updates. Our girl was well taken care of and came home tired and happy! So grateful for the easy communication and quick responses. Also, your flexibility was clutch! We will be back!!

Ifan was great. He was able to accommodate my dog on short notice, and provide excellent care with excellent communication and updates while we were away.

My cocker spaniel mix, Loki, is not an easy dog to take care of. He's mentally challenged, allergic to everything, not perfectly house-trained, and hyperactive. He has severe separation anxiety and needs to actively be stepping on my feet while I'm walking. Ifan did an amazing job. With other sitters, after vacations, Loki has come back with nasty skin infections. He's in really good shape this time, and I could tell from the videos that Ifan sent that he had a great time in his home.

This would my dogs second time with Ifan. Ifan is very reliable, quick to respond. I had an issue with the wet food getting delivered to him and Ifan went out of his way to get what was needed for my pup while I was out of state. Thank you!

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.
