Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Rocky and I absolutely love animals. In my life I have cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, hermit crabs and assorted freshwater aquarium fish. I currently care for a 2 year old chihuahua mix named Louie that I adopted from the Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn. I know that each puppy has their own personality and I believe getting to know a dog's personality is the key to a successful partnership. I'm also a big fan of communication and I would be happy to provide updates so that you know how much fun your puppy is having. I'm also very attentive to special needs cases and would be happy to accommodate your needs when taking care of your puppy. In my free time I enjoy exploring Brooklyn with my best pal Louie.

Rocky is a kind caring host for our 16 and 1/2 year old Maltese Yorkie. Wilma has health challenges and needs to take medicines on schedule. Rocky was able to help manage her conditions. Our fur baby was having the best time also with other dogs in the apartment during her 2 weeks stay. We were also delighted by the frequent updates with photos. We are genuinely are grateful for his kindness and will recommend Rocky's expertises for your fur baby. Thank you so much Rocky for treated Wilma like a family!

Rocky has the best setup for dog sitting and boarding in the Downtown Brooklyn area. He makes sure your dog is very comfortable throughout their stay and typically has a few other small dogs at a time, so your pet will be in great company. I’m grateful for Rocky’s help since I’ve moved to the area!

I prefer to take care of pups in my own home. My partner and I work from home and in the event that something comes up there will always be someone in the house so your pup will always have someone with them.

Information Rocky A. would like to know about your pet

Generally, I'd like to know if your puppy has any special needs regarding medication or care so that I can provide the best care possible for them and for you. I am also Red Cross certified in CPR for Dogs and Cats.

A typical day

I live near Forte Greene Park as well as the Brooklyn Bridge Dog Park Run and I'd love to take your puppy on a long walk to the park or to meet new friends at the dog run. My building is equipped with a bathing room just for dogs just in case your puppy needs a quick bath.
