Pet care experience

Pet lover here! :)

Hello everyone. My name is Yvan and most times I work from home so I can easily care for your pet. I love all animals, always have but dogs do have a special place in my heart because they show us the meaning of unconditional love every day. I decided to provide this service because everytime I have to leave my little doggie somewhere when on a trip my heart breaks because I worry if he's going to be treated well. So you have my word that I will treat your pet like it's a member of my family. I will feed him and play with him and love him just as my own (and that's a lot if he wants to). I would literally jump on a grenade to save your loved one, that's who I am. The only restriction I have at home is that your pet be dog friendly as I have a little shorkie at home that I love like my son. I always had dogs up to 8 rescues at one point when I volunteered at a shelter for many years where I also trained dogs.

Yvan was amazing as well as his little helper💗 We texted very last minute and he got right back to me and accepted our Finn! He has a huge yard and the sweetest pup! I highly recommend him! Finn is looking forward to seeing Yvan and his family soon!🐾

Yvan took great care of our pup! Sadie took to him right away and was giving him ear kisses in the first ten minutes of meeting. The pictures he sent showed her doing the exact things she does at home with us, confirming she was in a relaxed comfortable place. I highly recommend Yvan and we will definitely book with him again.

Life has been crazy since Levi’s stay at Yvan’s. We were in Florida for a family trip. I drove 32 hours to meet my family at our Airbnb with Levi and my 3 kiddos alone while my husband was deployed. Yvan was understanding and compassionate the whole time! He helped me through the late drop off and pick up time when things weren’t working out as planned. He made Levi feel comfortable in his home and got all his energy out before pick up. Highly recommend!!

My little dog is a super friendly dog, he is older now at 14 years old and he gets scared of big dogs and young dog who want to play too rough but other than that he s ok with all dogs.
