Information Dennis R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything I need to know about your pup so I can make sure they are taken care of properly. How much food and how often. Any food sensitivities or anything that’s off limits. Any commands they know would be great as well

A typical day

A typical day involves morning walks, playtime if your dog like to play fetch or any other type of fun. Of course some rest and relaxation because all dogs need their rest. Afternoon walk and maybe a dog park if that’s what your pup enjoys. Another nice walk after dinner and of course plenty of trips to the back yard for potty breaks.

Dennis R.'s Neighborhood

I’m on Rover for my love of Dogs!

Pet care experience

I just moved to North Providence after living in South Boston for the last six years. I had a golden doodle that passed away last in 2020 and I have been doing dog sitting and walking ever since to get my fix of mans best friend! I love all dogs small or large and I can definitely handle big dogs. I love to walk dogs but having them in my home for a few days is my favorite. I’ve always felt that a home feels empty without a dog in it. Hopefully in the near future I’ll be ready to have a dog of my own again. For now this certainly does the trick. I look forward to meeting your furry creatures! I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice quiet neighborhood.

This was my first time using River and Dennis was very patient with me and my questions. My dog acclimated well to the new environment and seemed very happy. I will rebook with Dennis in the future.

This is the second time Dennis has watched Orson and it was great! Dennis is very flexible with pick up / drop off and Orson always has a fun time spoiled with treats and a trip to the beach!

We always know that pumpkin will be well taken care of with Dennis! Our pup comes home happy after her stays. Couldn’t recommend more!

Dennis watched our dog over Thanksgiving and we would highly recommend! Pickup and drop off were easy and communication was great! We have no complaints or issues! Thank you, Dennis!
