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 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!!

Yvan was amazing! He watched our fur baby in June and we were so happy we found Yvan- he treated our pup like he was part of the family. We’ve left our dog before with other sitters, and heard things like “he didn’t eat much,” or “he seemed lonely” and I could tell he was stressed from the ordeal (which was not necessarily their fault just the situation)- but with Yvan our dog ate ALL the food! On the drive home, after we picked him up, our pup was calm, happy and he genuinely seemed like he was missing his new friends; not anxious or overly excited to get home- it felt like our dog actually had his own vacation as well! I can’t say enough about Yvan. It really made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing our fur baby was in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks again! :)

Yvan! I definitely recommend Yvan to take care of your fur babies. He kept in constant communication every day, sent us pictures of them, and if there was a need that would arise for my cat's care, he was more than willing to accommodate, which definitely gave us a peace of mind that our cats would be greatly taken care of. I would not hesitate to book Yvan in the future! Thank you so much!

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.
