We are a family of three plus one small, well behaved dog (Zipper). I’m a semi-retired tradesman involved in the construction of high end homes and small to large commercial projects. My wife, Tanesa, is a yoga teacher, gardener, writer and homemaker. Our daughter, Quinne, is a fourteen year old, musician, aspiring writer, knowledgeable gardener and has for the past several years, with Tanesa’s help, created “Quinntessential Pet Care Services”. They have also completed dog obedience and agility courses, and continue to learn new things about our furry friends. We have taken care of many dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses and bunnies. We love all animals and always dote on the ones which have been entrusted into our care. With regards to Zipper, ( a cockapoo-bichon mix) we have had a one hundred percent success rate in integrating him with other dogs and wonderful dog friendships have been created. Also we have a 2015 family membership with the Horse Council of B.C.
Due to our extensive camping experience we are adaptable and flexible and we fully understand the concept of leaving no footprint. Quinne is home-schooled so we are very mobile Recently we sold our house, and having lived in the same community for over twenty years, are ready to do some traveling and exploring before relocating to a more rural area.
We love home sitting assignments as they give us the opportunity to meet new people, new pets and explore different communities.
Ian, Tanesa, & Quinne ( Zipper)
