Your Dog’s 9–5 Just Got Much Better

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors—plus I’ve spent time volunteering at local shelters, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of temperaments and needs. I bring “fun uncle” energy to every visit, but I’m also reliable, patient, and totally tuned in to what your pup needs. Whether it's a long walk, quiet company, or some extra TLC, I’ve got it covered. I’m also experienced with shy dogs, basic meds, and senior care. At the end of the day, your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities!

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in your home, I treat it (and your pet!) with the same respect and care as I would my own. I always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, leash preferences, or where the treats are hidden. Safety is a top priority: I double-check doors, use secure leashes, and make sure your pup is always supervised and comfortable. I believe trust is built through reliability, great communication, and a genuine love for animals—and I bring all of that to every visit.

Communicative and flexible. I trust Ray with my dog and seriously appreciate the real walk so she can get her energy out!

Ray was great. Harry will miss him. If he goes back to dog walking, he was terrific.

Every dog is different, so I always want to know what makes yours feel safe, happy, and comfortable. It’s helpful to know things like: – Do they have any medical needs or allergies? – How do they react to other dogs or people on walks? – Do they have any fears (like loud noises or storms)? – What’s their favorite toy or treat? – Are there any training cues or routines you’d like me to follow?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
