I couldnt recommend Ivan enough! I don't usually use pet sitters because Trixie and I are attached at the hip. I schedule all my trips and activities to places she can also go to and stay. But when an issue came up and I was looking for a last minute solution, Ivan responded right away! He was super accommodating and flexible with my pickup and drop off time. He sent pictures and updates of her stay and really made Trixie feel right at home. I was at ease seeing how good she was being taken care of. 😊 He even has a couple old pups of his own who were super friendly and welcoming of little Trix into their clan for the night. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely cares for dogs and goes above and beyond to ensure their safety and happiness. A sitter who takes the time to give your dog the attention they deserve with consistent updates so you can relax knowing they are thriving, then Ivan is the perfect choice for you!

Ivan’s care and wonderful treatment of dogs is reflected by his two adopted senior dogs, Putter and Nelly. They are friendly, kind, and emotionally balanced dogs who are great with other dogs, strangers, kids, and cats. Ivan values play and social stimulation for his dogs and provides them with the structure to thrive as loving and predictable pets.
