Passionate and Responsible Sitter

Hi fellow dog lovers, my name is Rocky, a 25 yo male college undergrad that just moved here to buffalo. I’m originally from New Orleans Louisana. I come from a home of two shih-tzu dogs, (Popsicle and Levi), which I had to leave behind with my mom and sister. I enjoyed walking, feeding, stimulating, and just being all around loved by my two best friends. And I am looking to explore the same opportunities with your beloved pet. I promise to give the upmost care and attention that your pet deserves. Pick me as your personal rover walker or sitter, and let the worries go. You will come home to a relaxed, well excercised, and already gone for a potty, loving dog. That is my promise.

Very nice person, and a great sitter. My dog seemed to have a great time with him. I highly recommend Rakym and will definitely hire him again!

Rakym has been great every time with seemless drop-off and pick up. Our pup always comes home relaxed and unfazed by the experience which isn't the case with every sitter!

This guy is irresponsible and a scammer. I went to drop my pup off this morning and he did not even answer the door. I was stuck without a sitter today. Waa 5 mins from job and had to drive all the way back home. I don’t reccommend this guy for anyone.
