best little pet sitter in pasadena!

Pet care experience

Howdy, I’m Roy, full-time pet care professional! 🐶✨I’ve spent a lifetime in the company of cats & dogs, learning the ins and outs of pet care. From basic hygiene and feeding, to bathing and medicine administration, I handle it all with ease. Senior & special needs pets are no trouble at all; both of my kitties have chronic health issues and I’m used to pilling, eardropping, or otherwise medicating them on a regular basis!

Roy was amazing!!! Roy was a thoughtful sitter to our husky and did a great job keeping an eye on our house too. We received consistent and thorough updates throughout the whole booking period.

Roy was a total pro with our 4 month old puppy - super prompt and communicative and most of all, very caring and genuinely loving towards our sweet pup. We felt confident leaving our dog with Roy and look forward to future visits.

Roy was so helpful and communicative. He sent AM and PM updates with photos of our two fur babies. He left our home in perfect order. We had complete peace of mind while we were out of town that all was well. We are definitely planning on rebooking with Roy in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m attentive on walks and will keep your fuzzy buddy from getting into too much trouble! I like to make sure all my walks are safe without sacrificing the fun. And I have no problem cleaning up messes– accidents happen, right? I pride myself on my ability to win an animal’s trust through patience & an understanding of their body language. This gentle empathetic approach has made me many fuzzy friends, and it lets my clients rest easy knowing their pets are in safe, loving hands. I'm vaccinated & boosted against COVID-19 and follow recommended social distancing & hygiene procedures!

Information Roy G. would like to know about your pet

Please give me a heads up if your pet is special needs, has a specific schedule or diet they need to follow, how long they’re allowed on their own (if I need to go anywhere while housesitting), or if they need medication. I also appreciate being made aware of any behaviors I should watch out for/discourage, or if there are any rooms they aren't allowed to go in. Adapting to new situations is a well practiced skill of mine, but if there is something I do not feel 100% equipped to handle, I will reach out to you. The safety and wellbeing of your babies comes before all else. I live with 5 cats and a husky. While I’ll show up nice and clean to your location, dogs and cats may detect unfamiliar animals on me. If your pet reacts strongly to the smell of other pets, let me know beforehand so I can take extra care to prevent this.

A typical day

There's no joy greater to me than playing around with a pet until the both of us need a nap! Since I'm unable to board pets, I can take them for a walk around your neighborhood, a nearby park, or wherever you prefer! If your pets don't go on walkies, I have an arsenal of toys and treats to keep them entertained all day! :) I do not have a personal vehicle, and thus cannot take your dog anywhere that isn’t within a reasonable walking distance. However, I will gladly wear excitable dogs out with long walks and lots of play! Initial transportation to your location will not be an issue.
