I’m Ivan and I love dogs. They are a constant reminder to appreciate the life we have. I admire their loyalty and the fact that no matter what, they want to put a smile on your face. Pet sitting on Rover allows me to provide my experience and love to other pet owners, while giving my own pups some extra friends to play with! Through my years of experience caring for pups, I’ve learned to be patient, kind, and loving towards every animal and have particular experience with pups. Dogs are such a great judge of character and really pick up on your energy, so I try to live my life with with a sense of positivity and the “glass half-full” attitude. When I care for your pup, I will be extremely reliable and dependable. As a military veteran, accountability is at the forefront of my personality. I am attentive and strive to provide the best service and care to the dog and owner. I’m friendly and easy-going and will be sure to keep in constant and consistent communication with you. I definitely know how hard it is to be away from your pup so I’ll be sending daily text and photo updates so you know your pup is safe and happy in my care. And because I work from home, your pup will always be near my watchful eyes and loving care! Though I’ll be the primary caregiver to your pups, I do live with my wife Krysten, who will be around to help assist in the care of your dog. She’s just as big of a animal lover as me and has the experience to match. We also have two loving dogs, Jefery and Lucy. Lucy is a four year old Collie and Boxer mix and Jefery is a three year old Rottweiler mix. Both of our pups are very loving and enjoy the company of other animals and humans. They’d be happy to share their space with your dog! I live in Woodycrest, just east of the Nashville Fairgrounds with Krysten and the pups! Our neighborhood is fun, quiet, and very dog-friendly. It has a great mixture of younger and older people, which makes for a diverse community. We are a short drive to the fairgrounds dog park,. Our home is spacious with plenty of room to run around, play, and relax in! Additionally, we have a backyard that is completely fenced in for safe sunbathing and potty breaks!
