Pet care experience

I am an owner of a 8 year old Newfoundland female named Jules. I have been around dogs my entire life. I am physically fit and able to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Having a newfoundland requires special attention and that’s helped me understand and connect with dogs more. I can cater the walk’s activities based off the dog from running, swimming, hiking to a more leisure walk or just sitting outside. As a local realtor you can have piece of mind that I will not forget to feed and show your pup attention. I have a flexible schedule for feeding and taking your little “buddy” out for a walk. I know all the best dog parks and dog friendly spots in town.

Ira is amazing with my energetic pup! He is very consistent, walks her once a day, and cares for her like she is his own. Highly recommended, Ira to take care of your dog!

Ira cared for my two, large, working dogs (120lbs each) and did a fantastic job! Most trainers and dog sitters could not handle them. Ira is extremely caring, trustworthy, and conscientious person. He knows what he’s doing with dogs, a strong Alpha yet gentle and caring. Ira himself is very fit and athletic...he loves to bring his own Newfoundland on long hikes and adventures. I’ve seen some dog walkers/sitters take short cuts with time spent with their employer’s dogs; this is not Ira. The only drawback to having Ira care for your dog is that your dog may miss him!

Ira is always on time and very responsible. He takes my dog for a walk 3 days a week and to the park to let her play. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for someone that loves dogs. He treats my little girl as if she was his own. He is passionate about walking dogs and he is 100% trustworthy. I wouldn’t just let anyone walk my dog she is my little fur baby. When I met Ira I instantly fell in love with how he bonded with Kassy. He is fun and a great person for the job. I give him 5stars

Information Ira W. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if they have any health condition, allergies or how they interact with other dogs. If they are aggressive to other dogs. If they have any phobias for instance, Jules is afraid of brooms, bicycles, and running children.

A typical day

Based off the dog we could go swimming, hiking, frisbee playing, or catch. Living close to Libby Park and The Canal Walk allows me to take full advantage of being outside.
