Unconditional Love Guaranteed

I grew up in Singapore and had the good fortune of being surrounded by family pets, be it either my grandparents' 5 German Shepherds or my other grandparents' English Pointer and German Shepherd. In 2005, I was blessed with Charlie, our Golden Labrador, who we got as a 3-month old puppy from New Zealand and he is my brother from another mother. After High School, I was enlisted in the Singapore Armed Forces as a Platoon Commander under Special Operations Task Force from 2011 to 2013 and got the opportunity to train and work with canine units as well. Following that, I moved to the US to do my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (2017) and Master's in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering (2022), here at UIUC.

This is the second time we’ve used Ishaan’s services as a sitter and we are so happy we did because our girls felt right at home. Our younger dog acts very protective around us, but she immediately remembered Ishaan and behaved completely normal and happy during her stay with him. Ishaan is really an expert and knows exactly what he is doing. He took care of our girls as if they were his own. We are really blessed to have found someone in town we can really trust. Thank you again Ishaan for everything you did! Our girls had THE BEST TIME!

Schedule

Since 2019, I have been the Head of Mechanical and Product Development associated with the Cancer Center at Illinois, located at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. I normally work 9:30 AM-6 PM M-F and come home from 1-2 pm to take dogs out for a walk and playtime, but am able to easily accommodate your loved ones anytime during the week.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex that has a huge middle courtyard as well as a fairly big fenced-in dog park. I am more than happy to take the puppers out for walks/runs as well.

A typical day

Dogs will get lots of play time in the dog park during their potty breaks. Depending on the number of dogs booked at that time, we occasionally take the dogs to parks around the neighborhood.

Ishaan can host up to 2 pets per night
No breed preferences, but the dog should be able to socialize with other dogs. Let me know of any medical issues, food preferences, and personality. I want to provide a comfortable and safe space for them, especially being in a new environment.
