Ralph has a great talent of socializing and connecting in general and those skills transfer over to his care for animals. He is kind hearted, gentle and training even comes easy for him. I would trust him with my dogs anytime and feel comfortable leaving them in his care.

Ralph V. Was so great with our dog Stanley. He is so personable and caring and really has a good time with the dog. The one day I came home and he gave Stanley a treat and chased him around the back yard, then Ralph would get a treat and Stanley would chase him. Needless to say the dog slept very well that night.id definitely give him 5 stars!!

Ralph is AMAZING! He is so good with my dogs. I can't even begin to describe the peace of mind I have when I'm at work knowing that my dog's are well cared for. I can work overtime again without worrying about letting my dog's outside or how are they going to eat. He has a true caring nature and compassion for my 2 dogs. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a dog sitter to check Ralph out!

Ralph has watched my dog Gunner several times while I was out of town. He loves animals and interacts and plays with them al the time! He has done a great job and Gunner loves spending time with Ralph and gets excited every time he sees Ralph. I highly recommend Ralph as a pet care giver for short or long term care.
