Ivan can care for
Availability
I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task.

About Ivan O.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
Information Ivan O. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medical needs or medications, and any behavioral traits (such as anxiety, triggers, or how they interact with other pets and people). The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
Depending on the pet’s energy level and the owner’s preferences, I’ll incorporate activities like walks, runs, interactive play, and games that challenge them mentally (like puzzle toys or basic training exercises). For more energetic pets, I enjoy outdoor activities like longer walks, park visits, or play sessions to help them burn off energy. For more relaxed or senior pets, I focus on gentle play, enrichment activities, and lots of attention and companionship. My goal is to make sure every pet stays happy, engaged, and comfortable while in my care, tailoring activities to their personality and needs.

Attentive and Responsible Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat.

Reviews
Ivan is very kind, detail oriented, and trust worthy as a pet sitter. We have three cats and two of them are high maintenance. Ivan was careful to give our cats their medications and daily walks outside. He played with them and frequently sent us pictures. He seemed to understand just how important our cats are to us.
He did a wonderful job! Such a sweet and kind guy, and everything went perfectly. My cat was happy and well taken care of the whole time. Definitely recommend :)
I can’t recommend Ivan enough! He treated my cat like family from the very first moment. He sent updates and made sure my baby felt completely safe and loved the entire time. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can fully trust. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Ivan, has been a great pet sitter. Our dogs and our cat love him. 10/10 my wife and I couldn’t be happier. We will definitely be hiring him again .
