Highlights
Pet care experience
House Sitter | Runs + Grooming
As a lifelong dog and cat owner, i’m experienced in tending to needs of all types of animals. I’m an experienced dog and cat groomer, and I’m a daily runner as well. I love spending time with animals, and exercising them (up to their ability). I have plenty of experience in agility and general dog care and training from, from puppies to seniors. I work full-time remote so if you require house sitting I can be ever-present for your pet as well.

Rory also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I lead with love and patience. I really believe most “bad” behavior comes down to confusion or inconsistent guidance, so I focus on clear boundaries, calm energy, and positive reinforcement. In my home or yours, I stick closely to your routine (food, potty/litter, meds, walk times, house rules). I make sure pets feel safe and settled, and I pay attention to their body language so I can adjust if they’re nervous, shy, or just need space. With dogs, I keep things structured and fun. Safe play, exercise, and a bit of training reinforcement if you’d like. With cats, I’m gentle and respectful of their comfort level, while still giving them attention, brushing, and routine care. I love animals and I love making new animal griends!
Ratings and reviews
Rory is an amazing and very experienced sitter. We were so lucky to find him. He knows dogs. He has a very calm and kind demeanor and our girls love him. He took such good care of our two large dogs (80 and 70 lbs). They went on runs with him, he found a cyst and cleaned it up and monitored it, which was peace of mind. We got daily updates and photos. He took good care of our place while we were gone. We would highly recommend Rory. We will be booking him again in future.
Rory was punctual, reliable and reasonably priced. Our dog Tika went to him right away even though she can be aloof and skittish. Rory is obviously really confortable with dogs. Will definitely keep him as our dog walker in the future.
Rory walked my dog Hershey for a week and was great, very kind, reliable, and attentive. He also noticed a small issue on her head and let me know right away, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend him.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work full-time remote and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I’m active every day (I run at least 5 km daily), so I’m happy to provide structured exercise for dogs—whether that’s walks, play sessions, or runs tailored to your dog’s age and ability. I also have a car for easy transport to parks, trails, or vet/grooming appointments if needed. I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once (including running with them, not just walking), and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training and good manners during our time together. For cats, I’m very familiar with day-to-day care, routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
