Boarding • Mar 06, 2024

I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.

Highly recommend! Rory watches my two pit bulls routinely. I travel for work and I am out of town roughly 12-14 days a month. Due to there sensitive nature my dogs can not be boarded so I have Rory stay at my home with them. The younger one has severe separation anxiety, he is a rescue, rory has been able to develop a bond with him and they get along famously. My other dog has severe allergies and requires close monitoring and daily medication administration. Rory has done a wonderful job with him and keeps me updated on any changes with his health. I feel very comfortable having Rory in my home and taking care of my fur babies.

Rory has done a great job taking care of my cats while I'm away. Always caring and very attentive to their needs with my senior cat who needs special care, my 6yo who had major surgery and needed around the clock care when I was gone at work, including giving him medication, and my 6mo kitten who's a rambunctious wild one. Couldn't recommend Rory enough!

Fantastic with all my pets! Cats and dogs! I can highly recommend Rory with confidence! I have to go out of town on business quite often and that's one less worry I have knowing my pets are in great hands!

I am very happy to have found Rory and so are my dogs! Rory is not only professional, responsible and reliable but is truly caring towards my dogs! And trust me, dogs sense when people are good! I feel I can trust Rory with my dogs care while I am away and to me that is priceless!

I want to first emphasize that my two pups are my babies and I treat them as such! I had an extremely hard time trusting someone with their care while I was out of the house. I had a doggy cam that I checked in on for the safety of my pups. I am more than pleased that I found Rory! The camera was good HOWEVER to have Rory actually there to be with them or even help them if need be, has given me a peace of mind that words do not explain! Rory is a kind, compassionate, trustworthy caregiver for my babies! Highly recommend!

Schedule

Currently will only board cats from the same home or young puppies (message for more details) at a time due to other animals in the house. Your fur baby will have their very Owen room with a gate door that is about 6ft tall to keep them safe and comfortable when I am not watching them or letting them out for play time. I will follow your set schedule for feedings and play time. If I am boarding an animal they are my soul focus till pick up time. I offer daily or every other day pictures/video updates of your pet, my phone is always on so you can always reach me about any concerns.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one cat and two dogs in the house. They will remain separated from your animal at all times for safety and comfort of your beloved pet. All animals in the house are fully vaccinated including kennel cough. I will not accept boarding of unvaccinated cats & dogs for safety.

Pets

A typical day

I will follow your set schedule for play time and feeding. Cat litter will be scooped and monitored daily. Dogs will have as many potty breaks as needed and supervised play time in the 5ft fully fenced in backyard if appropriate. I have two large dogs in the home and one cat, if boarding a small dog they will have play time in the yard every morning and evening while the other dogs are locked inside. If boarding a cat the dogs will go outside for play time and my cat will be locked inside her room while your cut fluffy kitty explores my home and has play time. Any questions or concerns please ask.

Please inform me of any specific special needs of your animals ahead of time, so I can have a proper set up for them on arrival. You need to bring your pets food, along with their dishes for drinking and eating. Don’t forget their favorite toys! For animals with separation anxiety a shirt or blanket that smells like home helps a lot.
