Availability

I am able to take care of your animals anytime for general activities or pet care. I am available to house sit your dog while you are away. It’s possible to board a dog at my house during the day or even overnight, but only small/medium dogs because I own so many animals already and there’s not a lot of space for large dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I can come to your home and do anything you would like for your doggo; whether that’s playing in the yard, going for a walk, feeding, going out to go potty, or even light grooming. I can clean after your animal to ensure there’s no messes in your home. At my house I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with two friendly dogs of my own to play and keep each other occupied. There is a sidewalk all throughout my neighborhood perfect for daily walks.

Information Reuben R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is aggressive towards humans or animals. I want to know how your dog reacts to other animals/people in its environment for myself and other’s safety. I would also like to know any medical issues that your dog may have.

A typical day

I will take slow walks through the neighborhood so that your dog can smell to their hearts desire. I will stimulate your dog by playing all kinds of games. If you desire any commands to be taught to your dog, I can work on that as well.

Experienced Dog Sitter Big & Small

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was young and I learned how to train puppies/dogs from my father. I am very friendly and loving with dogs, but authoritative as well when needed. I can trim your dogs nails as well as bathe/groom them. I communicate well about concerns and updates regarding an owners pet. Daily activities with your animal is what I love; whether that’s walking, going to the park, or playing in the yard. I have had to take out puppies throughout the night to potty train as well.

Reuben did absolutely everything we could ask and then some. Extremely professional and courteous, trustworthy - just a genuinely kind human being. Sent fun photos of the cats and dogs without our requiring them. As first time users on this site we had some hesitation about having a stranger stay in our home but I can say with confidence that I would invite Reuben back.

Just had Reuben look after my two senior dogs, good meet and just returned home from my four day trip. Received photographs of dogs throughout trip with updates. Reuben did a great job looking after my two dogs, would not hesitate in using him again. Looked after my place as well as looking after the dogs. Highly recommend Reuben to anyone looking for walking or sitting!!!
