Ike has been watching my dogs for the past 7 years, and he's always taken great care to ensure my fur babies are well looked after. He has such a great handle on how to be around even the most nervous dogs. Ike gives off a very calm vibe, which I think is why dogs take to him so well. He's also extremely respectful of your space, and is 100% trustworthy. You can trust Ike with your pets and home. What I truly appreciate about Ike is that he treats my dogs as if they were his own, and gives them a lot of love when we're gone. He obliges any requests you have (such as sending you updates and pics!). One of my dogs, Marcy, has special needs due to a past back surgery, and Ike does a great job making sure her needs are met. It's difficult to find someone to watch our dogs due to Marcy's needs, and we've been so lucky that Ike is constantly vigilant to make sure she doesn't jump off the couch and stays safe! My dogs LOVE Ike, and are so excited when they get to spend time with him! I highly recommend contacting Ike about all your pet needs. You'll know that your dog or cat is getting as great of care as if you were there.
