Meet Ike: Your Dogs New Best Friend

Pet care experience

Hello! I've had a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I grew up on a farm with 4 dogs, so reading dog communication is something I learned at a young age. After moving out to the PNW, I've fostered dogs through The Pixie Project, mostly working with small dogs in need of some respite from the shelter. I often worked on training with them, using treat coaxing, setting firm expectations, and lots and lots of love. I have also occasionally worked with difficult dogs who may need medications or who have a lot to say. My current condo is best suited for smaller dogs, but I have invited a few larger dogs to stay with me for short periods. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to fill that time hanging out with your dog!

Ike was fantastic with my dog! He was super understanding with my dog’s NYE fireworks anxiousness. He also sent daily updates, which I really appreciate! My dog event seemed sad to leave. We’d definitely rebook!

Ike was fantastic with Mateo. He was willing to take care of Mateo with short notice for a couple nights. I’d use him again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly condo building in the heart of Belltown where there are many other dogs and people in the area. While caring for a pet, I do not allow the pet under my care to interact with others. If possible, I ask that pets come with a chest harness and a non-retractable leash so I can ensure their safety while we adventure through the Olympic Sculpture Park or Seattle Center.

Information Ike M. would like to know about your pet

My apartment is rather small, so I prefer to host small or medium sized dogs, but there are a lot of great walking opportunities around my apartment. My experience is mostly with smaller dogs: Chihuahuas, Bulldogs, Lhasa Apso, and Pomeranian, but have also occasionally cared for my neighbor's Boxer. I'd love to get to know other breeds as well!

A typical day

There are plenty of great spots to walk around my neighborhood - I'm just a few blocks away from the Olympic Sculpture Park and the walking path down by the water. Tugging around with toys are a lot of fun, but so is cuddling on the couch and watching a movie together.

Availability

I work from home during the week, so short, mid-day walks are easy to squeeze in. I do regularly have plans on Saturday mornings, so your pet may be asked to hang out alone for a few hours if you need a weekend sitter, but I'll make sure they get extra pets and affirmations when I get back.
