I care for my clients pets like they were my own. I WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO CARE FOR THEM THE WAY YOU WANT😁. I always ask how the owner would like the visit to go and what they prefer. Pets boarding here are free to roam about in a safe apartment. I do not have any crates or carriers. I have a great yard and a 60ft runner. If necessary any crates or specialty items needed should be provided by the owner.

Information Roger B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or requests. Please supply treats and food when needed. Please message me with any questions or concerns.

A typical day

There is a beach and park nearby for walks and exercise. I'm in it for the animals so whatever your pet likes we can make it happen.

Pet care experience

When your loved one is with me it will be like they're on vacation too.. I love to keep them active with hikes, swimming, or activities of your choosing! Im just as happy to cuddle up at home or give em space( CATS mostly-haha) Brushing and Bathing is available upon request or if the need should arise during the stay. I Have taken care of pets all my life. I walked neighbors dogs and fed their cats when on vacation. I cared for my own cats and dogs as I grew up. I have experience with big dogs like pit bulls, rotties, etc., all the way down to tiny chihuahua's. I also have some experience with exotics such as snakes and lizards, hamsters, and bunnies. Soon to be learning about ducks too yaay🤩 Note* I have experience with special needs and rescue's, as well as administering meds orally and insulin injections. I am now also a CERTIFIED dog trainer by Animal Behavior College! Taking extra classes on reactive dogs and behavior.

Roger has sat our dog many times now. He’s amazing with her and always very proactive in communicating with us. He is also very thoughtful about the house. Thank you Roger for another great stay with Koda!

Punctual, reliable, and gave our pup Lucy lots of attention and went above and beyond to stay longer with her! Would definitely recommend!

We are so thankful to have found Roger! We needed to find a sitter on very short notice and he was very accommodating and helpful! Our dog liked him right away and Roger spent ample time with him in and out of the house. He even took him on some car rides which our dog loves. Our cat doesn’t warm up to people easily and is often in hiding when someone new is in the house, but even the cat warmed up to Roger, which was great. Roger was also great at communicating throughout his stay - our dog is a bit of a menace and ate some stuff he shouldn’t have, and Roger was proactive and quick to inform us of these instances. We would definitely recommend Roger to others.

If I could hire Roger as full-time companion and sitter for our dogs, I would!!! lol He is by far the best pup sitter we've worked with! I knew he was going to be awesome during our meet and greet - he was so engaged with our pups and went above and beyond to connect with our nervous nelly, Milton. In addition to the special care and attention for our fluffy kids, Roger left our house better than he found it! He is an excellent communicator and allowed us to have one of the most relaxing few days away we've had in a while! Highly recommend!!!!
