Pet care experience
My whole life I have surrounded myself with dogs and other animals. I grew up with big dogs, who I l was responsible for walking every day, and from there I took on more responsibilities. Before I knew it, in high school I was regularly watching several neighbors' pups and cats when they went away or if they just needed a check-in during the day. I like to be gentle and attentive to every dog I meet-- adapting my care to their unique needs and personalities. Now living in Brooklyn, I often hang out at our neighboring dog park where I get to say hi and meet new puppy friends. I am a great listener so if there is anything special you would like me to keep in mind about your dog, please let me know. I have experience working with dogs that are reactive, seniors, have special medical and dietary needs, and separation anxiety.I will do my best to make your animals feel secure and loved!
Reviews
Rory’s reliable, punctual, a great at communicating. Our cat feels great about him too :)
Rory is the best! He provides the right amount of updates where I never felt worried about how my dog was doing. He’s kind & courteous, and took amazing care of my place. Thank you Rory!!
Rory did a great job walking our rambunctious golden retriever, Hank. Rory is punctual, responsive, and Hank looked very happy in the photos Rory sent from their walk!
Rory was great with my dog, Darby. Great with updates and sending photos! As well as being respectful of my home, and most importantly, my dog. Will absolutely be rebooking again and often.
About Rory K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will discuss with you prior to confirming our booking what sort of walking/play time routine your doggy is most accustomed to and also ask for directions regarding feeding routine and other needs. I will be respectful of your space while helping keep your puppy safe and secure. Happy to learn about his or her favorite spots in your neighborhood or anything else I can do to make time away from you a little more comfortable.
Information Rory K. would like to know about your pet
In addition to the basic care instructions, please let me know whatever makes your dog special; any habits/quirks I should be mindful of? How can I help them feel a little more comfortable while you are away?
A typical day
I tend to wake up early, happy to go on an early morning walk or have an early breakfast. Throughout the day, you can expect playtime, cuddle time, and lots of photos with your pets on walks or at home. Typically my evening involves sitting on the couch watching Survivor with the pets I'm watching before getting ready for bed.
Services
Rory can watch in your home
Availability
I am a full time student with coursework on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Manhattan. Otherwise, I typically have a few dog walking gigs or virtual internship sessions each day. If I am staying at your home, your space and your pet(s) would become my base for the duration of your time away. Typically the max I may leave your home would be up to 4 hours at a time and I will sleep at your place unless otherwise discussed prior. Throughout your time away, your pet will be my main priority and I will adopt my schedule accordingly in the rare case there is a pet emergency.
