Ivan took great care of Penny. He was very careful to follow her medical regimen. He communicated very well and sent us frequent updates and photos. Would definitely recommend him to others!

Ivan was awesome. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my girls while I was away. Every day he posted new photos and made sure they were enjoying their walks at the park. Ivan was super patient, especially when I had an unexpected change in my pickup schedule due to the weather. I really appreciate him cutting Sarah's nails too, I didn't expect her to let him. I'd totally recommend Ivan to everyone. Thank you again Ivan, until next time .

Ivan was incredible! He provided daily updates and pictures of Nalli which made us so happy to see how great she was doing. He also made sure she stayed inside during the very hot temps this past week in MD! We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend using him again.
