Helping pets stay healthy & happy!

Pet care experience

I look to bond with animals and create a comfortable relationship. I have experience walking dogs of all ages up to 150lbs. I have created fitness plans for dogs with varying physical needs. I have trained and raised puppies of over 10 different breeds. I currently have two 70lb dogs at home (9yrs and 13yrs old). I am happy to provide walks, runs, and drop in visits in an effort to improve your animal's health.

RJ is “dogs best friend.” He has cared for my yorkie in the past, and our Australian shepherd, for weeks at a time. He treats them like family. I would def trust him for dog walking and dog sitting. He is very experienced and knowledgeable of dog behavior and care. Highly recommend.

I have an unpredictable schedule, knowing that I can rely on RJ to take care of my Pitbull when I'm gone is a stress reliever. Bexley runs up and down the hall in excitement upon RJ's arrival. Needless to say, I know he is in good hands.

We needed a last minute dog sitter and we are very lucky we found RJ. He is so attentive to detail and our pups needs. They are high maintenance, energetic, younger pups. They need a lot of attention! We got back from our trip and our pups were exhausted. We are so grateful we found RJ. He will be our go to sitter when we go out of town.

RJ is phenomenal with my basset hound, Char. He goes above and beyond to make sure that she is living her best life. Being a senior dog, Char has issues with her food and needs to walk slowly. He administers her meds and gives her bathes; I am at ease when RJ is with her.
