Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. The dogs sleep in their beds at night and sometime they migrate to the bedroom and sleep on the side of the bed. I take them out to do their thing right before bed time to avoid any accidents and I take them out first thing in the AM. I feed them separately to avoid any food issues.

Information Ivan G. would like to know about your pet

If pets take medications, I will need specifics. I usually have to give them with a piece of cheese, but that will depend on the individual pet. I also make sure to be aware of any things that makes them nervous such as skaters or fireworks, etc….

A typical day

I take them out for a 2-3 mile walk near my house. I also find fenced dog parks to take them to for new smells and to fetch the ball. I also have a few ropes they like to tag back and forth on

Fun pet care

Pet care experience

I have had dogs, cats, lizards, and bunnies since I was a kid. Now, I take my labradoodle for walks in the beach almost every day. The cats hang out on my lap (with their permission) when I am working on the computer.

Ivan was amazing with my 3 dogs! Not only was he able to accommodate a last minute booking, but he was also flexible with pickup when my travel back was delayed. I received regular updates/pictures and quick responses when I reached out. Highly recommend booking with Ivan, your pups will have a great time at his home!

Ivan was great! My dog loved him and was excited for his walk when he came.

Ivan stepped in to help walk our two large to giant sized dogs shortly after my husband had surgery, sometimes supporting after last minute notice. Ivan is a good communicator. He smoothly navigated our dogs’ different personalities and walking styles (and a talkative neighbor). Ivan was also conscious of how the recent heat wave may affect our dogs’ safety and offered potential solutions. Thank you, Ivan!

This was my first time ever using Rover and I’m so glad I found Ivan for Archie’s first overnight boarding that’s not a family or friend. He was amazing with Archie and made sure to follow my preferred feeding process. He sent picture updates and was extremely responsive with any questions I had. He was also super kind and flexible with the pick up time since something came up last minute. In the end, picked up the original time but it is reassuring to know how accommodating he is. Great guy and great sitter. Would recommend. Thanks again Ivan!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
