Pet care experience

Most of my favorite people are dogs

Greetings! My Name is RJ, and my wife and I have several fur babies of our own (Bogart a Caviler King Charles Spaniel, Cosette an Alaskan Klee Kai, and Siegfried a Bengal cat). My animals are family, and I will treat yours with the same care and respect I give my own. I love the outdoors, so rain or shine your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I also have experience with rescue and special needs dogs, so don't worry if your pup needs special handling or attention. In addition to dogs, I have a senior cat, and I grew up in a home with birds and reptiles as well. I'm open to caring for any animals. Thanks for your consideration. I work full time providing professional pet care services. Primarily I am a dog walker, but I also do home visits and cat sitting. I work mostly Monday through Friday, but I am also often available weekends and evenings. The safety of the animals, other people, and myself is always a priority. I care for my clients pets with the same respect and concern as I have for my own animals.

RJ took care of our two cats for almost two weeks and did an amazing job. Daily status updates and photos let us know they were well cared for. We would definitely recommend RJ for any pet sitting!!!

Dog Walking • Oct 28, 2023

Really appreciate Ralph being available so last minute to walk our pups. He was communicative, reliable, and my pups came home tired and happy from their walk. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Ralph care for our dogs again!

Ralph is super reliable and flexible to do what needs to be done. He gave our cats lots of attention and communicated regularly to ensure everything was taken care of according to our wishes. He kept the cat mojo flowing while we were away. Would definitely book again!

Ralph is super reliable. I hired Ralph for both dog walking and cat check-ins and he’s been always very communicative and professional. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is considering any of his services. Thanks, Ralph!

Having a new puppy, I was hesitant about hiring a "stranger" to look after him but really needed the help while my husband was out of town and I was working. Finding RJ has been a blessing! I definitely read thru the reviews before contacting him and I'm so glad I did. He's a genuinely nice guy and took wonderful care of my pup! It's obvious that pets adore him and he treats them like family. I appreciated the updates and pictures he sent so I knew my pup was well cared for when I wasn't around. RJ is communicative and was flexible with schedules and requests and I appreciate it. I feel lucky to have found my go to guy on the first try!

Please let me know of any behavioral issues or special needs that your pet may have. Any medical conditions, allergies, behavioral triggers, anxiety, or aggression issues would be helpful to know about. Also, anything they love to do, favorite toys, personality quirks, etc. I am happy to accommodate your pets unique needs, and excited to get to know what makes them special.
