Information Ross M. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with cats? I have two cats at home and they would love to have a friendly dog around. Is your dog friendly with other dogs?

A typical day

I will send you multiple Instagram-worthy photos of your dog. It would be my pleasure if you shared them with the world however you like. I don't use social media so all pictures I send will be for you to remember how cute your fur-friend is. I live next door to the beach and in heart of iconic Venice Beach. Plenty of cute, fun pictures will come your way.

Pet care experience

I've been a dog walker, dog lover, dog groomer, dog kisser, dog snuggler, dog hugger, dog teacher and dog admirer since the day I was born. Growing up, my family always had a dog around the house. We had Mandy Dog (a German Shorthaired Pointer), Winnie (fluffy-sunshine-mix-a-doodle) and Paris (Australian Shepherd/Pitbull mix) at various stages of my youth. When I was 12, I raised my first puppy (a lil fluffy Golden named Lucy) and I taught her everything from sit to play dead. In high school I was a dog bather for a local dog groomer. From this job I learned about different breed personalities, needs and care. Currently, I work from home and would love to care for your friend. I'm very flexible on timing and availability. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Ross was perfect for us and our 8-month-old puppy. Kind, thoughtful, good communication. First time taking care of Sesame while we were gone and he did a great job. Would recommend him any time and looking forward to having him watch over our puppy in the future.

Ross was great. He took both the dogs on two long walks every day. They thoroughly enjoyed having him take them. He was also very communicative and kept us up-to-date on what was going on with them during the day. Highly recommend him.

Ross was amazing with our 2 pups. He was so kind when we first met in person and we definitely felt comfortable leaving our dogs with him for the day. They are super happy and nice and tired after their walks with him. Would definitely use again and recommend!
