Information Rorey H. would like to know about your pet

It is very important to know of any medications and health issues your dog may have. If there is a special condition, please let me know so I can plan accordingly. IMPORTANT UPDATE: Please let me know about your dog’s behavior -Is your dog potty trained? -Can your dog be left alone for at least 2 hours? -Does your dog chew on objects? -Does your dog have anxiety problems? -Does your dog behave well with other dogs, especially in smaller spaces (apartments?). This means that your dog does not act aggressively against dogs in all scenarios, such as at a dog park, in an apartment, or on the street. Please note I have a zero tolerance policy towards aggressive dogs. For the safety of other pets, pet owners, and myself, overly aggressive acts will elicit an immediate cancellation of the stay. Due to changes in scheduling, your dog must be capable of being left alone for short periods of time.

A typical day

I have just moved! The apartment is bigger so that’s great for dogs to have a bit more room to stretch indoors during the winter months! There are some dog parks near by but I am still exploring the areas for the best dog parks and streets. I love to go on long walks and take dogs to the dog park to socialize with other dogs. If provided with a ball, I enjoy playing fetch with dogs

Animals are cool

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life in Alaska and have cared for animals ranging from dogs to chickens and reindeer. I can walk, animal sit, feed, and bathe pets.

My dog Willie came home from Rorey's tired and happy. Rorey was responsive, sent photos, and was good about keeping up with Willie's medication. I'd absolutely leave Willie with him again.

Rory did a great job with Peg for a week and she’s headed back there soon. Very responsive, friendly, organized, and professional and clearly loves dogs! Can’t recommend him enough.
