Pet care experience

Your outdoorsy dogs new best friend

I am trustworthy and reliable, with a genuine love for animals. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of outdoor activities for dogs, and I'm delighted to provide that experience. Whether it's a leisurely day spent at home or an exciting adventure in nature, your pet's well-being will be my utmost priority. Having worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes, I am well-versed in handling different temperaments and accommodating individual needs. From small lapdogs to energetic larger breeds, I have the experience to ensure your furry companion feels comfortable and secure under my care. When you entrust me with the responsibility of dog or cat sitting, you can have peace of mind while you're away. I will provide regular updates by texting photos and videos of your dogs or cats, so you can stay connected and witness their happiness firsthand. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pet soon. Together, we can create a safe and enjoyable environment for your furry friend.

Ross is very responsive and Hana gets very good care during the stay! She gets along with other dogs, and we got a lot of photos during the stay

Ross took such incredible care of our dog, Aki, while we were away. From the very beginning, he was extremely responsive and proactive with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. He’s very attentive and truly notices the little details to help dogs feel comfortable and safe. Aki was pretty stressed at the start of her stay and unfortunately vomited. Ross handled everything with so much care and patience - he cleaned up after her, let her settle into the bedroom where she felt more secure, and even picked up the medication prescribed by the vet. He kept us informed every step of the way and made sure she was closely monitored. Thanks to his attentiveness and kindness, Aki recovered quickly and was able to fully relax and enjoy the rest of her stay. His communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear he genuinely cared about her wellbeing. We are so grateful for Ross and would absolutely trust him with Aki again. Thank you so much for everything!

Ross is very reliable and has great communication skills! He consistently sends proof of life photos throughout the day and never hesitates to ask questions if something comes up. Zoe always has a great time with Ross and his family; I would highly recommend him!

Ross has been really great with our fellas! Was very thorough at our meet and greet, making sure he knew what the dogs normal walk route was and even did a practice run with us to make sure the dogs walked well with him. He’s been with us for about 2 weeks now and everything has been great! Highly recommend!

The flexibility of my schedule enables me to meet the pets' needs while fulfilling work responsibilities. Interacting with pets during breaks brings stress relief and a positive work-life balance. Overall, working from home ensures that pets receive proper care while allowing me to manage work effectively.

Prior to caring for a dog or cat, it is crucial to gather important information. This includes their medical history, vaccination records, behavior and temperament, feeding instructions, exercise needs, emergency contacts, and preferred veterinarian. Knowing these details allows for tailored care, ensuring the dog's health, safety, and overall satisfaction.
