I'm a graduate student and work 100% from home. Being a student and working from home offers me a unique advantage when it comes to pet care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take breaks and engage with your pets throughout the day. While I do have study sessions and online classes, I ensure that there's ample playtime and attention given to your furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are paramount for me. In my home, which doubles as my study space, I've taken measures to create a secure environment for pets. This means ensuring there are no hazards like loose wires or small objects that pets might ingest. When taking breaks from studying, I love engaging in play or simply giving pets some affection. If I'm at a client's home, I'm always mindful of their space and rules. My aim is to provide a comforting presence for pets, ensuring they feel relaxed and loved in their familiar surroundings. As a student, I've honed my skills in patience and understanding, which I believe translates well into pet care. I have one 5-year-old husky mix (American kelpie) who can accompany us on walks, or stay home as your pet sees fit! She matches the energy of the animals around her and can be a playful companion or nap buddy :)

Information Roman C. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog with other dogs? Any specific rituals or words you use with your dog that I should know about? Are they leash reactive?

A typical day

My go-to dog activities Dynamic fetch sessions at Volunteer Park (I have a 100 foot leash and harnesses to keep your dog safe!) Long, exploratory walks around the neighborhood or nature trails. Hide-and-seek games, where treats or toys are the prize. Nature hikes, introducing them to various terrains and scents. Leisurely strolls at the local dog park, allowing them to socialize. Stop-and-sniff walks, letting them lead and explore at their own pace. Cool-down sessions post-walk, filled with belly rubs and gentle petting.

Your Pet's New Study Buddy

Pet care experience

Hello, fellow pet lovers! I’m Roman! With 15 years of in-depth pet care experience, I've spent a lifetime cultivating my passion for animals. From the mountain trails to the comforts of home, I bring together my love for hiking and my profound expertise in pet care to provide your furry friends with a one-of-a-kind experience. NOTE: I also care for small and exotic animals like rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters, reptiles (geckos, snakes, turtles, etc), and others. Send me a message and we can discuss. Experience & Background: 🐾 Animal Shelters: Over the years, I've had the privilege of working at several animal shelters. This has enriched my understanding of diverse pet behaviors, needs, and what it takes to make them feel loved and secure. 🐾 Service Dogs: I’ve worked closely with service dogs, helping in their training and day-to-day care. This experience has honed my skills in handling pets with specific needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate care and attention. 🐾 Outdoor Enthusiast: As an avid runner and walker, I've found that pets love the great outdoors just as much as we do! Your pet will enjoy the best of both worlds - an adventure and the loving care they deserve. Services Offered: 🌲 Adventure runs: Suitable for energetic dogs who love exploring. We'll embark on safe, dog-friendly paths, ensuring they get ample exercise and mental stimulation. 🏡 Home Visits: Not all pets are up for a hike. I offer home visits where I'll care for, play with, and ensure your pet is comfortable in their environment. 🌟 Special Needs Care: With my experience in working with service dogs, I’m well-equipped to cater to pets with specific needs. Whether it’s administering medication or following a particular routine, your pet is in safe hands. I also have experience with reptiles! From geckos, to tortoises, to snakes, if you need your scaly friend fed, misted, or just checked on, I'm more than happy to help out!

Roman is an excellent and knowledgeable dog watcher/walker! His ability to read dogs for their comfort level and respond to their cues is extremely helpful. Super friendly, reliable, and communicative. We look forward to booking him again!
