Pet care experience

The most trusted care for your dogs

I had a farm in Alaska, had 13 dogs 22 horses, a goat, 2 cows and 3 cats. I am older now but my love for animals has not dwindled. I am in good health and can handle the most difficult dogs. I am able to connect with your dog very quickly to make them feel comfortable!

Thank you Rocky and Jackie for the excellent care you provided to Buddy while we were away. As an older dog, we had some concerns about his stay. While gentle and loving to us, he can be indifferent and stand-offish around others. It was great to hear that he slept with you the final night (although I apologize about the gas). Thanks also for giving him his daily medications as well. We hope that you enjoy West Virginia, though we are disappointed that we won't be able to use your services in the future. We certainly would have done so.

Rocky went above and beyond to ensure our dog was comfortable. He also kept us updated on how she was doing while we were away. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

Rocky watched our 13 month old black Lab rescue for a long weekend and we couldn’t have ask for a better place for her to stay. It was her first time away and Rocky made her think she was on vacation all weekend

Rocky did a great job with Teddy. Teddy told me how nice Rocky was to him and that they had fun walking around the neighborhood

Rocky was terrific with Sadie! She’s an older dog and needs a little more care and attention. Rocky was kind and patient. He even got her to go for a walk on the beach! I would definitely recommend Rocky and will use him next time, too!

Safety, trust & environment

I walk daily, (at least 2 miles or more!) so your pet would get plenty of exercise. I also have no issues walking in your neighborhood if necessary. We have no other animals, it is just my wife and I so your pet would get all the attention and care needed!

A typical day

Love to play ball, give belly rubs and just have fun with the dog. They will be well exercised when I am done! I love all animals.
