Pet care experience

My 3 dogs and I will welcome you.

I have been the go to person to watch my friend's dogs throughout my 13 years in the military. Either it be a TDY, a Deployment or just for the weekend, I've taken care of dogs for my friend's whenever they need it. I no longer work from home so any dogs that I watch will be alone from approximately 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week.

Had Ronald watch Walter again. We did have an issue arise but Ronald handled it very professionally and kept me informed. I will definitely use him again.

Ronald is wonderful and made my dog Walter feel like part of the family. His dogs are very friendly and got along great with Walter. Ronald kept me updated with pictures and comments during his stay. We will definitely use Ronald again and Walter is looking forward to his next stay.

Ronald is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Shayla! He’s watched her multiple times and every experience has been great. He’s reliable, communicative and genuinely cares for her. This last time Shayla walked right into his house without hesitation. She truly feels at home there. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend him!

Ronald was great with Bodie. I know Bodie had a great time with his two dogs Rachel and Pepper. We will definitely have Bodie stay with them again.

We had our dog stay with Ronald for a week and we felt like he was safe and happy the whole time! He sent daily pictures and updates and also has 2 other dogs that are super sweet. Definitely will use again!

Schedule

I now work in the office full time so any dogs that I watch will be alone/kenneled from 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I am in the military and may have to leave my house for a few hours, but those appointments are far and few between and will be communicated with you when/if they occur.

A typical day

I like to play games with dogs that I watch as well as my own. My backyard may not the biggest but they will have plenty of space to run around. I'll walk them around the neighborhood for some other excersize. Plus my 2 dogs will keep them company all day long, so they wont have a dull moment!

Is your dog good with other dogs? Does your dog dig? It's not a big deal if they do but just something I need to look out for. Does your dog have any quirks eating habits that I should be aware of?
