Pet care experience

ABOUT ME: Hey, my friends call me Rocky. I am a multi-sport athlete with championships in Karate, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. Outside of the ring, I teach Martial Arts under my company The Champion Experience. When I am not in the gym I enjoy watching scary movies, indulging in thai food, or a night out with my girls. I started sitting dogs because I don't have my own pet yet and the income helps support my amateur fighting career. Growing up, I had a mixed breed, miniature pinscher, golden retriever, one parrot, and a turtle. The house was noisy, but I am thankful for that experience. I know how to care for puppies, senior dogs, injured and aggressive dogs. In addition, I know how to use all leash types plus teach basic commands/tricks. I can promise you a safe environment for your pet while they are in my care. I send daily photos, videos, and potty updates. It would be like you’ve never left! You deserve a reliable sitter and to be worry-free. If you choose me, then you are in good paws. As a previous dog owner, I know exactly what I would want in a pet-sitter and I reciprocate those qualities. Follow me on Instagram for cute stories of me sitting while your pet is in my care: @raquel.harris FUN FACT: I was featured in the New York Times as a dog walker/fighter.

Rocky was great! She would send pictures and texts regularly (at least once per day), so I could see how my dog was doing. Everything that was sent with him (dog food and supplies) was returned to me with him. She even helped with the loading and unloading, which I really appreciated! Rocky is a trusted dog sitter for me.

All went well. We ended up just having a short visit vs. a day-long stay (our change of plans) but the communication was excellent and dog seemed happy and was healthy upon return.

Raquel and Justin were great! They had excellent communication and were very flexible with our first meet up and with pick up and drop off. Their pictures and videos were creative, entertaining, and much appreciated. We trust them with a ziggy and we will definitely use them again!

Information Raquel H. would like to know about your pet

Your pet must be neutered, up-to-date with vaccinations, and house trained. I do not have a breed preference. Please inform me about any health concerns, triggers, and instructions for meal servings.

A typical day

I enjoy teaching commands, tricks, petting, and promoting exercise. My favorite place in New York is Central Park or Hudson River Pier. I could plan for long outdoor walks if requested.
