Experience with Lil Dogs and Meds
Pet care experience
Hi, I love dogs more than people. I’m that loser who goes to house parties just to play with the dog, and if there’s no dog I politely leave early. Actually, I like people too but dogs are special and too good for us. I have 22 years of experience caring for small dogs of all ages, with and without medication needs. I also love bigger dogs, but live in a duplex with a small yard so that’s why I don’t feel comfortable hosting larger dogs (over 50lbs). Love running with energetic dogs for a workout! I work from home, so there will always be someone around if your pet stays with me during the day or overnight. I will care for your dog as you wish - great attention to detail (ask my BF and how our arguments go). Happy to provide picture and video updates throughout the day if you want.
Reviews
Ivan was amazing! My husband and I needed to run errands without our little pup for the day and Ivan was quick to respond to the last minute request. He was professional and super sweet with our Blue. Ivan kept us informed throughout the day with how Blue was doing, which we really appreciated. Not only did he help watch, but also gave us some tips on training. Thank you, Ivan, Blue cannot wait to see you again!!
If kylo could speak, he would say “thank you Ivan for our walk today, shout out to my new homie” Ivan was cautious with kylo during the entire walk and very much thankful!
Our puppy seems so happy and less needy after a full day with Ivan. Ivan asked good questions and followed our instructions for the care of the puppy without a hitch. Even better was using his experience and intuition on dogs stuff we hadn’t considered. He kept us updated throughout which was helpful for our first time. We’ll definitely book again.
Lulu's review on Ivan: Bad, bad, bad! No dogs should go to him! Just me, only me! He's all mine! Mine, mine and mine!!! He will not pay attention to you. He will not take you to a park or for a walk. No potty break....eeever! He doesn't even know what a dog is! Okaaay…..Mom! Your turn! Lulu LOVES him so much that she doesn't want to share him! I feel lucky to have found him. He is absolutely wonderful with Lulu! He is detailed-oriented, communicative and caring beyond words. Thank you, Ivan!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced in front yard. I’m fine giving a house trained dog full run of the house if you are, but I’ll stick with whatever rules you have at home
Information Ivan W. would like to know about your pet
I love little dogs. Definitely need to know about any aggression/socialization issues (with other animals or people) before watching em. I can now also accommodate dogs up to 50 lbs
A typical day
There are a lot of local parks! I’m also a pilot so I’m happy to show em the airport and local trails. I love being outside :)

Availability
I work from home Wednesday-Friday, so I’ll be very available to meet your pet’s needs. My working schedule those days is also very flexible so I can accommodate needs and provide all the attention.
