Pet care experience

I'll love your pet as my own!

As a child, I've always adored animals. I've had cats of my own care from 2008 to 2020. I have 5 years of experience volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter in Brooklyn where I would specialize in rehabilitating scared and abused cats to allow them to shine through and find the happy homes they deserved. This also involved feeding, cleaning litter boxes, grooming and play. I also helped out as much as i could with dogwalking, washing, grooming, feeding and providing tons of play and love!

Ralph took great care of Luna while I was away! He gave her plenty of long walks, played tug with her (one of her favorite games), and made sure she got lots of love and pets. She came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It was clear she got plenty of attention and exercise. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ralph again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Ralph did a great job taking care of my anxious senior dog! He made sure he knew what she needed to have a comfortable stay and sent plenty of updates throughout the week so I never had to worry. Would definitely recommend!
