Pet care experience

I love animals and love helping to take care of them! I have over 14 years of experience working with them. I am also currently trying to get my dog training certification. I have a great bond with them because I always have lots of patience for my canine companions. Getting to meet new dogs is a wonderful experience, so getting to dog sit is really a dream come true for me. When your pup stays with me, they’ll really become part of the family ! I always love bringing new friends into the mix, so your pup will have the time of their life when they’re with me. During a stay, it’s my number one priority to make sure that you and your pup feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. For your pup, I’ll stick to the schedule that they have as closely as possible so they feel right at home with me. I’ll make sure to follow all of your instructions to a T and provide your pup with plenty of love as well! For owners, I’m always happy to send plenty of photos of your pup and I having a great time together. I know how difficult it is to be away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible on you. My home has a lot of space and is great for dogs! It’s a first floor apartment with 2 backyards. There is a good amount of grassy area that is perfect for getting some playtime in when we’re not out on a walk. I live in Bensonhurst, which is a very dog-friendly neighborhood. There are plenty of new dogs to meet around town and a ton of great places to walk to. i will also stay in contact when needed. I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. Anywhere from giving medicine to diabetes shots. I will always do my best to make sure i bond with your pet and keep you and them happy ! Feel free to look at profile pictures of the different breeds I have worked with !

Rolando was great with joey ! Joey is very picky with people but got along with rolando right away ! Rolando also told me he will not give anything to joey without my permission and i definitely appreciated that ! He followed any directions i had and also gave joey his medicine with no problem ! He also told me if he did not contact me and i got worried at all to contact him whenever i felt needed ! And even when i did contact him i got responses and pictures ! Joey looked so comfortable and so happy ! I felt comfortable on my trip knowing my dog was being so well taken care of !!!! I will definitely be using rolando’s services again !!! Thank you rolando!

Rolando was great with our pup - good communication leading up to the stay, pictures and videos during the stay, and he offered pick-up/drop-off service which was so convenient. We'll definitely use Rolando again!

I would definitely recommend Rolando for dog sitting. We had a short notice trip booked and he was able to accommodate our dog during a holiday weekend and we appreciate him for that. Rolando would answer messages timely and was willing to quickly meet our dog prior to boarding at his house. My only constructive feedback would be to receive more updates. Rolando sent a picture of our dog the first day around noon, after that I had to keep texting and asking for updates. He would immediately respond, but pictures and a few updates a day would be ideal.

Information Rolando R. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I know that a healthy dog is a happy dog, so we’ll spend a great deal of time together getting lots of exercise in and playing around. I have two backyards that are perfect for tons of playtime, fetch, and lounging around. Your pup will love them! When we want to get out, we’ll make sure to go for walks or runs around the neighborhood or any other trails we sniff out together. In addition to getting plenty of exercise in, I’ll also make sure that your pup has all their meals and potty breaks at their usual time. Dogs are creatures of habit, so I’ll keep them on their daily regimen so they don’t feel anxious during our stay. And, as always, please let me know if there are any other ways I can spoil your dog!
