Dog whisperer, active, gentle
Pet care experience
I treat every dog I meet kindly and respectfully because they are more than just animals. I love the different personalities dogs have, and I bond with almost every dog I meet. I have had several dogs growing up such as a bullmastiff, husky, chihuahuas, and a few mixed. I taught my bullmastiff to eat treats from my hand slowly, and I taught my chihuahua rescue dog not to snap and bark at people when she is picked up. I am very active and enjoy walks or playing different games with dogs. I am comfortable with more serious aspects of caring for dogs like feeding them medications they might require with a syringe or by other methods. The dogs' happiness and health are very important.
Reviews
If I ever needed to hire a dog sitter for my dogs, I would immediately ask Ivan. I have two dogs that I absolutely adore and he goes above and beyond whenever I need help with them. Not only do my dogs love Ivan, but every dog that I have ever seen interact with him instantly befriends him! I always call him the Dog Whisperer, because honestly every time we are around dogs, they immediately become best buds. It amazes me, from tiny hyper Chihuahuas to huge lazy Mastiffs, all dogs love Ivan and he loves them all too. I would also have Ivan as my dog sitter because he has an authentic, natural love for animals. And as much as passion is important to me for my dogs’ care, Ivan is also very reliable when it comes to urgent conditions. I will never forget when my dog had his first and only allergic reaction to an antibiotic, I instantly broke down in tears in a panic, but Ivan was calm and proactive and rushed my dog to the nearest pet ER for the proper care. Now my dog is all better, and I feel better knowing I can rely on an amazing dog sitter for anything concerning my dogs. He knows how to stay level headed in important situations and do exactly what needs to be done. Ivan is also wonderfully well-rounded. If your dog is the active type, he can play and go for walks all day, or if your dog leans more on the lazy side, he can relax and just hang out all day. Ivan adapts perfectly to any situation which puts not only the dog, but also their owner at ease. From love and care for any type of dog, size and personality, I honestly could not recommend anyone better than Ivan.

Skills
Information Ivan G. would like to know about your pet
I like all types of dogs. I love chihuahuas and big dogs most of all. I would like to know their meal schedule and amount, along with treat preferences. Physical limitations such as jumping or strained/injured body parts. Movements or words I should avoid that would trigger negative reactions.
A typical day
I'll take a dog on any preferred walk path that they enjoy the most. I like to play with dogs a lot, and I wouldn't mind petting them until my arm is tired. I like to make dogs do tricks and play fetch. I also like to work on behavioral problems. I also love to photograph dogs as a hobby, and I would be more than happy to capture some shots of your dog playing or enjoying nature.
