Dependable Veteran Owned Pet Care❤️

Pet care experience

(*Disclaimer* I’m sorry, I do not work with breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweiler, Doberman, Chows, or mixes of these breeds* Meet and greets are also required for all services. If boarding or daycare, all dogs need to be up to date on their vaccinations. I will board and daycare dogs up to 35 lbs. With More than 27 yrs experience, I am not new to taking care of pets or pet sitting. While living in Chicago friends and neighbors and co-workers asked me to watch their furry friends while out of town for vacations or business trips I have owned and taken care of dogs my whole life starting at the age of 10. I truly love dogs and have 3 little ones of my own. My wife and I treat them as part of the family….well maybe more than part of the family. We have 3 small dog rescues that found there way into our home and hearts. My wife has always had dogs growing up in Brazil, so this is a perfect fit for our lifestyle. I am also certified in Pet CPR/ First Aid and safety. Being a Marine Corp veteran, you can be assured that I get the job done. I am dependable, punctual and do what I promise. Your pets are in good hands. I work for myself and have a flexible schedule. My wife works from home also so you never have to worry about your furry friend being alone or unattended. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs of my own who can be rambunctious but settle in easily once acquainted with other dogs. There is also a large green space nearby for some extra exercise. Dogs can be crated/ separated if needed. *Disclaimer* I do not work with breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweiler or mixes of these breeds.*

Rocco came and took care of our sweet girl on short notice so we could attend my son’s unit memorial service. He did everything that was asked and we had a happy pup when we got home. Would recommend Rocco anytime

Can't say enough about the wonderful experience! Rocco and his wife just took such amazing care of our pup. And their dogs are just so adorable and easy going. Rocco sent a lot of pictures and updated consistently which gave me such peace of mind. They have a great backyard for the dogs to run around in and a really nice greenbelt area that they can walk the dogs down to as well. Would absolutely have Duke stay here again, I'm pretty sure he actually didn't want to leave ! ?

Rocco is AWESOME! I booked for the second time and my dog was very excited when she arrived at his house. When I am on vacation I don't have to worry about my dog, I can relax knowing she is having a great time.

Rocco was awesome! He took care of our cat for a couple weeks when we were on vacation. He was very communicative and understanding of our cats needs and behavior. He arrived on the time and he sent us detailed updates with adorable photos of our cat. Would highly recommend Rocco to anyone who needs a sitter to take care of your fur baby :)

A typical day

I like to take dogs on walks every day, my dogs love it. We also have a large green space nearby for dogs to play and have fun. If I’m at your home playtime is always on the list. I love playing with dogs and using their special toy in the process and giving them the attention they are missing while you’re away.
