Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. They're not just pets; they're like family, offering unwavering loyalty and companionship. I've been fortunate to share my life with a beagle/boxer mix for the past three years. She came into my life as a tiny pup, rescued when she was just a few weeks old. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I've grown up surrounded by them in the homes of friends and family. My own pup, Joey, brings so much joy to our lives. Knowing the love and care she receives, I'm passionate about extending that same level of care to other furry companions in need. Whether it's providing daytime playtime, going for walks in the neighborhood or at the dog park, or offering medication and first aid, I'm here to help. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate various needs and preferences. From training sessions to simply enjoying some quality snuggle time, I'm dedicated to ensuring every dog feels happy, loved, and well-cared for. 🐶❤️

Ron was THE BEST. Not only did he take extraordinarily good care of my dog, but he went us pictures every day that we were away. Ron will always be our first choice whenever we need someone to tech our dog when we are on trips!

Ron is a caring, professional, and outstanding caregiver. My dog was in good hands. Ron has helped us a couple of times, and we have been pleased both times. We know Chance, our dog, is in good hands.

I was confident upon meeting him that Ron was well-suited to care for my dog. My two-and-a-half-year-old, rambunctious terrier took to Ron and his dog, Joey, immediately. Ron has a calm, gentle demeanor, as does Joey; my often, overly-energetic pet meshed well with both of them. I also appreciated Ron's flexibility with our schedule; he graciously agreed the two times I asked to add a day. Ron connected with and cared for my dog quite well. I'm very happy with the way our arrangement worked out and relieved Ron's amenable to future visits.

Information Ron G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any unique behaviors your pup has, such as marking, biting, barking, aggression, disliking car rides, or being fearful. Don’t worry—I’ll still care for them if I can. I just need to understand their needs and how to support them.

A typical day

Your dogs will get plenty of playtime both inside and outside. They'll go outside several times a day, and we’ll make sure they have fun and get tired out! Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog can choose where they want to sleep! My room, the living room, the kitchen—anywhere they're comfortable (as long as you’re okay with it). If you'd prefer they stay off the furniture, let me know and I'll train them accordingly. Time I'll spend with your dog: I will spend lots of quality time with your dog. I absolutely LOVE DOGS and all animals. I’ll give them lots of snuggles and affection.

My schedule is flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample time to caring for puppies and dogs. Each morning, I take my own dog, Joey, for a walk, and we often enjoy visits to the pet park together. Joey adores meeting new dogs and is even friendly with cats! However, if you prefer one-on-one attention for your furry friend, I'm happy to accommodate your wishes. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm always willing to follow the owner's lead.
