I love cats and dogs!

Pet care experience

I have had cats and dogs my whole life (38) years. 1 cat and 3 dogs at the same time. I would walk the dogs when ever they needed to go out. We taught them to ring a bell by the door to let us know when they needed to go out. I can’t promise that for you but I can promise I will take care of your loved pets the same way I take care of mine. I am not working now so I am available anytime to walk, watch, board, feed your animal. I am home now 24/7 so they will never be neglected or be left alone. I do not have a yard but there is a beautiful park 4 min walk away. If allowed and if you crate your pet I will do whatever you would do to keep them on schedule, including 6am walks. I just love animals

Ronald “Mike” kept our cats well-fed and with clean litter during our 4-day trip. He is also a kind and interesting person to talk to. The only critique I have is that he was reluctant to enter the master bedroom to see if a cat I had been worried about was hiding there (They have a door cutout that they can use to go into rooms with closed doors.) But now that we know each other better and he knows that I don’t mind him entering the bedroom if it means making sure all cats show their face, I will call upon him for cat care once again. But the major positive is that not only does Mike show up and do what is required, but he is also extremely respectful of the pet owner’s home and property, and his communication and reachability is fantastic.

Mike was awesome with our puppy Milo. He sent great photos that I can use as keepsakes. Milo warmed up to Mike very quickly. I look forward to have Mike watch my puppy again!

I have only know Ronald I short time but he seems to be a nice man and determined to make a difference. I believe that anyone that hired Ronald would be luck to have him.

I am a friend of Mike’s and have seen how kind and loving with his mother’s Shitzu Charlie. When she goes away, Mike takes great care of him. Charlie just loves Mike. He is dependable and trustworthy. He is great with animals.

A typical day

Well Puddin’ is a cat (yes I know how some feel about cats) however she’s great! She loves to find new places to hide (sleep) for 12+ hours at a time, but that what cats do. The best thing about her is she knows when I have had a bad day or I am upset. She won’t leave my side until she feels I am better. You can’t ask for much more than that

I am only available for weekends starting Friday - Sunday, if it’s a cat then that’s different. I just can’t care for dogs during the week any longer. Unless it’s a drop by to feed a cat. Sorry and thank you.
