Took care of my pups while on a trip, asked if I wanted updates and sent pic updates of my doggo. Was very flexible👍

Ricky and Rocky welcomed Hank into their home with open arms. Hank still has puppy energy and I could tell he got plenty of time to play. He was worn out when we picked him up. Thank you so much Ricky!

Schedule

I believe a routine is incredibly beneficial to pet care, which is why Rocky is part of my routine. If your pet is staying with me they will be feed and walked first thing in the morning. Potty breaks throughout the day for pets with more frequent needs. Then second feeding and walk at approximately 6:30 pm. If I’m sitting at your place, if your pet has its own routine we will follow it, if not I will adopt a routine based on the environment.

Safety, trust & environment

Previously, my house was a 3 dog 3 cat house. After some relationship changes, it’s just me and Rocky. Rocky is completely submissive, although he’s a Goldmation he very much embodies golden retriever energy, and gets along with pets of all shapes and sizes (like I said, 3 cats) When sitting at your house you can be sure that both your home and pets will be cared for. Cleaning is one of my favorite activities, so you might find your house is even a bit more tidy than you left it. And Rocky is very low maintenance and stays home when I pet sit, meaning that if you want me to spend as much time at your place as possible, I can do that.

Pets

A typical day

Every day is different depending on the pet's needs. But plenty of pets and belly rubs will be involved. And there’s a park really close to my house that’s great for adventures
