Information Rory R. would like to know about your pet

Do they have special behavioral or emotional needs that I can adjust my approach to help them feel more comfortable? Will I be giving any medication?

A typical day

I take dogs on long walks and many times hikes out in the forest. I have a van that has all the back seats folded down in the back that I use to transport animals giving them plenty of room. When working I usually am on my bed and let dogs or cats join me. I live alone, so they are not going to need to adjust to another pet or human.

Keeping your animals well-cared for

Pet care experience

I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being able to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes.

Rory was an excellent host. She was very friendly and warm to my cat when he stayed with her. Rory sent a lot of photos and always kept us aware of how our cat was doing!

Rory is ours and our pets number one choice as a pet sitter! We have 2 dogs and two cats that are all between the ages of 10 and 17. She was so caring and excellent at checking in with us. I could tell by the expressions on my pets’s faces in the video and pictures she sent that they trusted and enjoyed their time with her. Thank you Rory for everything you did!

Rory has been just so wonderful with our kitty! I couldn’t have found a better sitter and feel extremely grateful. She has been very thoughtful and very dependable- I didn’t worry at all throughout the entire 2 weeks. I totally recommend. Five star sitter for sure!💜
