Pet care experience

Reliable communicative animal lover

I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for pets is second nature to me. I recently lost my 15-year-old dog, Felix, which gave me a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and understanding their unique needs. I work from home, so your pet will have constant supervision, attention, and companionship. I live in a ranch-style home with no stairs and plenty of space to relax, plus air conditioning to keep pets comfortable during the warmer months. Outside, there’s a big, fully fenced and secure backyard with lots of room to run, explore, and even a pool for dogs who love to swim (under close supervision). I also enjoy neighborhood walks and hiking adventures for pups who like to get out and explore. I know how much love and companionship your pet brings you, so every pet is treated like family and cared for as if they were my own.

Rory is great! Luna is always excited when she arrives and has a great time with Rory. She definitely needs some rest when she gets home.

Rory was great with my boys. Always quick to respond and I could tell they really enjoyed their time in his care. Will definitely be booking again!

Doggy Day Care • May 24, 2026

Rory was great with our two dogs. You can tell he really loves our furry friends. We called on him when we were moving, so it was a long day. He has a nice place with a very large backyard where the dogs can run and play. He offered to give them treats and dinner since they were going to be there about nine hours. Our girls are a little skittish, but he was very good with them. We will definitely use him again in the future.

Rory was just fantastic! We have two dogs and our Bassett can be quite the handful….Rory had no problem dealing with her high energy antics and simply stated he loves dogs with personality 💕💕 we left both dogs for a full week and were thrilled with the experience, can’t wait to use Rory again!!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 08, 2026

Rory took on my four mastiffs which is not an easy task but he did such a wonderful job. I’m going to hire him whenever I am visiting Tucson. Every time I dropped off my dogs he had their breakfast prepared and regularly sent me updates of them playing and sleeping on his couch. He was easy to communicate with an adaptable, taking the dogs for an overnight and extended hours. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to have a real special treatment for their dogs. A true dog lover.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m around all day to provide supervision, attention, regular potty breaks, meals, and playtime. Walks are built into my mornings and afternoons, and I’m happy to adjust based on each pet’s energy level or special needs. Throughout the week, I make sure pets get plenty of one-on-one time, outdoor play in the yard, and quiet rest time indoors. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of how my days are structured.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor care to each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family—with lots of supervision, playtime, and comfort throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, meals on schedule, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. Pets have access to a large, safe, secure, fully fenced yard for outdoor time, a cool and comfortable indoor space, and quiet areas for rest. Walks, enrichment, and play are adjusted based on age, energy level, and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter boxes, medications, and routines, and I make sure your pet gets companionship, exercise, and care that mirrors what they’re used to. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable—whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own space.
