We boarded our dog, Jackson, with Ivan for two weeks while we were on vacation. He came back happy and healthy. We particularly appreciated daily pictures of Jackson from Ivan. Our 2-year old English Springer Spaniel needs lots of exercise and we were particularly happy to see that in addition to being let out in the back yard, Ivan walked Jackson daily in a wooded park.

We’ve used Ivan for both short and extended stays on 13 different occasions, and he has been absolutely outstanding every time. He consistently sends thoughtful photo updates and keeps us informed about our dog’s schedule, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. What says the most is how our dog reacts when we arrive—she literally jumps out of the car and runs straight to his front door, clearly thrilled to be there. It’s obvious she feels safe, happy, and loved in his care. Ivan goes above and beyond, taking her on walks through the woods and even hikes, which she absolutely loves. We never have to worry when she’s with him. He is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares for the dogs he watches. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter.

Ivan is fantastic! He is someone you can truly rely on. He’s always responsive, keeps you updated, and genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. My dog never comes back stressed after staying with Ivan, and I have plenty of experience with other boarding places to compare. I highly recommend him!

Ivan and his family were fantastic Rovers and took great care of my mini Aussie, Nola! They sent regular updates and Nola was very happy while staying with them!
