Your 🐶 next best friend

Pet care experience

I'm a recent college graduate who adores dogs. Much of my life has been spent caring for my friends' and neighbors' dogs. I'm always dedicated to ensuring that every dog has the time of their life. In 2023, I welcomed a puppy into my home, Diesel. He has brought boundless excitement, joy, and purpose to my days. However, I've also come to realize the substantial amount of time and effort that dogs require. That's why I'd love to assist you in providing the absolute best for your dog, ensuring they live their happiest life. I'll also keep you updated with photos and videos, FaceTime calls if you really miss your furry friend a lot.

Igor was very helpful, taking care of my cats on short notice and over the holidays. He kept me in the loop and sent regular updates. He was also very flexible and easy to work with! I plan on requesting him again in the future.

Igor was fantastic! Very flexible, communicative; and great at dealing with our more stubborn Great Dane at the last minute. I would use Igor every time for our dog sitting needs, he was excellent!

Igor did a great job caring for our dog and cat for a week! We appreciated his bringing toys that our dog would like and thoughtful updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm deeply committed to creating the best possible experience for both dogs and their human companions. Raising a puppy has instilled in me the importance of attentively interpreting a dog's behavior and communication. I prioritize ensuring that every dog enjoys a fantastic and fulfilling experience. Furthermore, I guarantee that your furry friend will return home with spotless paws, sparing your living space from any messes. Regarding house-sitting services, I'm more than happy to give your beloved pet a bath if they happen to get exceptionally dirty or if you make a specific request for it. Your dog's comfort and cleanliness are my top priorities.

Information Igor D. would like to know about your pet

My goal is to help your pets feel as comfortable as possible, while their pawrents are away. Ben Franklin said, “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.” Please help me prepare to succeed by sharing as much information about your pets as possible. What are their schedule, habits, and behaviors to be aware of, favorite snacks, medications, and foods to avoid? What are their favorite toys, and what kinds do they prefer? Sniffing, chew toys, pulling on a rope? Are they good with other pets or dogs? It’s not a problem if they aren’t, my partner looks after Diesel whenever I need to house-sit. If they are friendly, would you like me to arrange play dates or take them to a dog park? Do they have a history of biting? Is your dog a regular Houdini (escape artist), or can they resist the temptation of an open gate like a true canine philosopher? Should I be crating them overnight or when I’m not present? Are they allowed on furniture or bed? Anything other information you would like to share about your pet?

A typical day

To begin, I initiate our journey with leisurely walks around the neighborhood. This serves as a time for us to connect and for me to keenly observe your dog's behavior. As our bond grows stronger, the potential for enriching experiences becomes limitless. I engage in interactive games that challenge your dog both physically and mentally. We'll venture to the dog park or explore local parks through invigorating walks. For those high-energy pups, I'm more than willing to embark on lengthier hikes, exciting beach outings, and various other adventures that unfold as I form a lasting friendship with your furry companion.
