Your 🐕 will be in a loving home away from home in a very safe, nature-filled neighborhood where they can relax indoors and play to their heart’s content outside in two large fenced areas, each with its own real grass field. There’s plenty of space for zoomies, nature-powered brain workouts, sniffing adventures, sunbathing sessions, and shady chill spots for well-earned breaks in between all the fun, and most importantly, scenic bathroom spots! 😆

Information Ivan L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know asap if your fur baby needs any special care or attention. Other than that, let’s set up a meet and greet! I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and hopefully get the chance to care for them and spend time playing together! 🎾 To celebrate my birthday in April and all the amazing fur babies I’ve had the chance to host and welcome like family, I’m offering a limited $5/night discount for upcoming bookings starting March 26. The discount will be applied after your request is received and before the booking is finalized. Honestly, there’s no better way to celebrate than with beloved pups! 🥳

A typical day

Aside from daily playtime indoors and outdoors at home, we also go on walks around different neighborhoods. I’ll try to teach new tricks to the best of my ability… or maybe they’re the ones training me to give them treats 😅. And sometimes, we even go on field trips to new places to explore and hang out! I keep my pack small and intentional, only taking in a limited number of pups at a time based on compatibility, so every pup gets plenty of attention, care, and supervision… no pup gets left out! 😇

Pet care experience

I have 6 years of Rover experience and 30+ years of caring for dogs and other pets. I love dogs and I hope I get to keep doing this forever! ❤️ I’ll send lots of updates and photos of your fur baby’s silly faces, snuggles, actions shots, and all the fun little moments that make their day. Have a peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, well cared for, safe, loved, and spoiled to the fullest while you’re away. 😊👍

As this was our first time leaving our newly rescued dog, we were rather nervous. We chose Ivan because he offered consistent monitoring, freedom to explore outside and inside, and doggie playmates of similar size. The stay was even better than we could have hoped for and we were grateful for the daily pictures and regular communication. Our Sally was very well loved while we were gone.

Ivan is the best with Baxter! Fortunately for us he took great care of him while he was stuck in the 'cone of shame' - something not just any sitter could do. Thank you Ivan!

Ivan took wonderful care of our 4 month old puppy, Maple, on very short notice. He has a great yard where she was able to run around and play, and he sent plenty of photo updates throughout her stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear she was safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We were so grateful to find someone reliable at such a reasonable rate, especially last minute. We would absolutely trust Ivan with Maple again in the future.
