Pet care experience

Missing my pup - let me walk yours!

I’ve had dogs since I was in elementary school and have helped take care of cats before as well. I recently moved and my dog stayed back in my home state with my Mom because my new schedule wouldn’t allow for full time pet ownership (and honestly I think she enjoys a large yard and my Mom likes having a dog at home again). I have experience walking and caring for everything from Pomeranians to Pitbulls. I follow direction well and will make sure your fluffy family member is walked, fed, and played with while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always walk your pet on leash when outside of your home and have great situational awareness to make sure our walks are safe and without incident. My decades of pet ownership experience has given me a sixth sense for items that can be of hazard to your pet both inside and outside the home.

RJ came through last minute when another sitter dropped out last minute. He did a great job with Baeley. Was wonderful about communication and following my instructions. Will happily use his services again in the future.

RJ was very nice and looks like our cats liked him. RJ took a good care of Sophie and Linus, was pretty communicative and sent us wonderful photos of our furry babies. Also he was very respectful of our property. We definitely recommend RJ as a cat sitter!

RJ was great! Our dog who is very nervous around men loved him right away. RJ gave us plenty of updates on how things were going, and even washed our sheets when one of the dogs had an accident in them. We would definitely work with RJ again, he was a great sitter! :)

R.J sat for my 3 dogs for 3 days I will definitely use him again in the future. He sent texts and pictures of my fur babies everyday so I knew they were in good hands.
