Ivan can care for
Availability
Walking dogs is now my main source of income, I am working to pay off my new electric bicycle and save for a desktop computer so that I can take online classes to get a degree in animal behavior. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting 7 days a week if there is no conflict with my regular clients or other bookings.

Safety, trust & environment
I go above and beyond for my cats at home, I make them homemade wet food and grow them catnip and cat grass blend so they are fed the best and entertained. Pets are a precious part of the family and I take utmost care with clients pets.
Information Ivan S. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any dog breed preferences, I am comfortable handling dogs with varying sizes and temperaments. I do well with anxious dogs, but if there is anything specific related to your dog please let me know so I can accommodate. For example, if they are dog reactive or have a high prey drive and like to chase small animals.
A typical day
I drink lots of coffee, so I'm a pretty fast walker. A client of mine has a dog that just loves sticks, so I'll help him find a good one to chew on in the park.

Pet care experience
I am vegan and love all animals, I have three cats all of which I took in as strays but unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my apartment. I commute via electric bicycle around Baltimore and make myself available 7 days a week, including holidays. It's rare for me to take a day off, spending time caring for clients animals is like a mini vacation for me. I thought this would be a good way to make some extras money and hopefully get some selfies with cute pups. I only take selfies with animals. I grew up with cats in my household but always wanted a dog of my own. When I was still living with my mother, she was working with a German Shepherd rescue as a foster parent and I would often times help walk the dogs for her when she was not able.
Reviews

Ivan was a hero to me and my little guy-swooping in for a last minute walk when I was going to be away for an extended period. He was very communicative, Amos was well taken care of, and apparently Ivan is a popular guy on our block-also regularly caring for another pup up the street. Would definitely recommend to anyone!


Ivan was absolutely wonderful. He provided daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring, as this is the first time I’ve hired a professional pet sitter in several years. My cats (even the shy one!) loved him and the house was in great shape when I returned. Would definitely book again!



Ivan was a calming presence for our pets in our absence. We appreciated his photo updates and each pet was relaxed and happy in the pictures. We arrived home to a quiet, happy house. Thank you Ivan!


Ivan took great care of my two cats and quickly developed a good rapport with them.
