Your outdoorsy dogs new best friend

Pet care experience

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 was fantastic and Riker really enjoyed her time with him! I could see her smile and happy tail curl in the photos he sent and she was still bouncing and excited when I got home. I will definitely use Ross again!

Ross was great at sending pics and vids and giving us updates on how Benny was doing while we were away. This was only the second time we’ve left him and Ross made us feel so comfortable that Benny was in good hands.

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.
