Ivan can care for
Availability
I currently live with a cat and a dog, and have grown up in a household full of animals, so I understand that cats have their own unique personalities and needs. From playful kittens to calm, independent seniors, I’m comfortable adjusting to each cat’s routine. I know how important it is to respect their space while still providing affection, stimulation, and care. I can handle feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and giving medication if needed. Whether your cat loves interactive playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. I make sure they have a calm, pet-friendly space, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions carefully so your pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m mindful of doors, leashes, and feeding schedules, and I keep a close eye during walks or playtime to make sure every pet is safe and happy. Growing up with a veterinarian father taught me the importance of responsibility and care, and I bring that same level of trust to every pet I look after.
Information Ivan D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to know about their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs. Please share things like: Feeding schedule & dietary restrictions Medical needs or medications Temperament (shy, playful, anxious, etc.) How they do on walks (pulling, reactivity, favorite routes) Comforts they love (favorite toy, scratch spot, or routine) Anything that may cause stress or fear (loud noises, other dogs, strangers) The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, that might mean long walks, park strolls, fetch, or tug-of-war for the playful ones — and slower, relaxed walks with extra cuddles for seniors. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, laser pointers, or simply giving them cozy lap time if that’s what they prefer. I believe every pet deserves both exercise and enrichment, so whether it’s exploring new smells on a walk, practicing tricks, or just quality snuggle time, I make sure they’re engaged, happy, and cared for.

Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs, cats, and birds my entire life and grew up surrounded by animals. My dad was a veterinarian, so I learned early on how to care for pets with love, patience, and responsibility. Today, I share my home with dogs and a cat, and my family has always had plenty of animals around — so caring for pets is truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable with large breeds, small dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If your pet needs extra attention, such as medication or special routines, I’ll handle it with care. My goal is always to make walks fun, keep tails wagging, purrs going strong, and give owners peace of mind while their pets are with me.
Reviews
Ivan was an incredible pet sitter for my shy cat, Daisy. From the start, he understood her gentle nature and took the time to earn her trust. During each visit, he made sure to actively engage her in play, especially with her favorite toys, which really brought her out of her shell. Ivan is caring, patient, and dependable; the kind of person you feel comfortable trusting with your home and your pet. I came back to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for attentive, high-quality care while they’re away.
Ivan will become your pet’s second best friend! Ivan has years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and birds. He learns your individual pet’s personalities and needs so they feel special and cared for while your away. If you need a reliable pet sitter for dog walks and cat drop-ins who genuinely loves animals and treats them like family, look no further.
