Old fart who needs something to do

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Roy. Kidding aside, I am the go-to person for my family, neighbors, and friends to care for their animals when they're away from home. I've taken care of dogs and cats when they're healthy or sick, young or old. I retired some years ago but am healthy and want to help others. Taking care of animals gives me purpose and keeps me active. Being retired, your pet will have company throughout the day and lots of care and attention. I enjoy taking your pet on several walks each day. I can administer medication and will do my best to cater to special needs or requests. I take the well-being of animals very seriously and will do everything I can to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable while in my care.

Our Westy, Andy stayed with Roy for 2 weeks. It was the first time he ever stayed away. Roy treated Andy so well and provided a wonderful space. Roy even sent updates with photos. We were afraid Andy wouldn't want to come home. Thanks again Roy. Great service.

Mr. Roy R. is a wonderful, experienced and assertive sitter for my poor peanut who is more reactive and anxious than usual (we recently moved into a new apartment and she's still decompressing). Mr. Roy handled peanut with care, he walked her twice, his home is suitable for dogs and also has a small yard perfect for sun bathing.

I live in a townhouse with a fenced in yard. I have central air and heat, so the temperature will always be comfortable for your pet. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. I have a back porch, enclosed with a fence, that gets sun all day. Dogs love to lay out there while I read.

Information Roy R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or any sort of behavioural issues prior to booking. All dogs must be housetrained and socialized. Let me know if there’s anything I should be aware of when walking your dog on a leash. If you think your dog barks excessively, I may not be a good match for you. Let me know how often they need potty breaks and walks.

A typical day

Dogs love to spend afternoons sunning on my back porch. I’m only 2 blocks away from the beach and 2 blocks from Bixby Park, so there are plenty of nice walks I can take your dogs on.

I am currently retired, so your dog will have someone around throughout the day. Also, I only sit 1 client’s dog at a time so your dog will get plenty of individualized love and care. I am happy to relax with them at home or take them out for walks.
