Dogs are the best; the greatest
Pet care experience
I had my first dog experience since a child with my family dog , Chispo (shih tzu) , from the day we adopted him at three years old till his passing at 16. I learned to love and care for him, to learn his own schedule from potty breaks to cuddle times , and most importantly how to act in a household and out of one. Challenges came along the way for sure , especially around when he turned 12 when he became blind due to cataracts . I loved him always with 110% of my heart , as he grew , more obstacles came such as dislocations in his legs causing him to drag himself at some points , where he couldn’t urinate properly, and so on. I will always love and treat a dog as if they were mine , whether there’s disabilities or not.
Reviews
Ivan was a great choice of dog sitters for Zeke and Shannon. He is number one on my list for when we need help with our dogs. He knows his business and I'd class him as a professional.
Ivan was a life saver once again when I needed him to house sit last minute! He sent so many adorable pics, tired them out, and was very respectful of our home. One of our dogs had a messy accident and he took care of it. I wouldn’t even have been able to tell anything happened. 100% would recommend!
Ivan took excellent care of our dog! He came to meet us before even though it was short notice and asked great questions before to make sure he really understood Oscar’s needs and personality. He sent great photos and progress updates during the walk and even sent a picture of our kitty before he left! It’s clear he really cares about animals and taking good care of them :-)
Ivan did a great job taking care of our Newfie and our home while we were away. Ivan is completely focused on ensuring the dog’s health and happiness. He is kind and responsible. We look forward to using Ivan again in the future.
