Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all kinds of dogs and cats.
I've had dogs as pets for basically my entire life. All kinds including chihuahuas, boxers, and sheep dogs. I've also taken care of dogs, both young and old, with various health issues.
Cat care experience
Russell also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm available to take your dog(s) on walks and to do drop-ins at your home for both cats and dogs. Common pet sitting duties including simple social interactions, feeding/providing water, and potty breaks. I've also taken care of dogs/cats with various health issues, but please let me know in advance.
Ratings and reviews
Russell was prompt, communicative and sent photos of Huckleberry for each walk— which we always looked forward to! We felt great having Huckleberry in his care while we were out of town.
Our big Bernese, Huckleberry, always looks forward to his walks with Russell! Russ is reliable, communicative, and takes such great care of him. Highly recommend!
Russell is exactly the kind of person you want watching your fur kiddo. He is attentive, patient, and is quick to bond with dogs. He helped care for my elderly dog several times and I have been fortunate to see him around his own dog and cat a few times. He’s got lots of urban and trail-walking miles under his belt and is good at navigating situations where there are leashed and non-leashed dogs in the mix.

Schedule
I'm currently taking a hiatus from my academic career and am available any time of the day and all week. Please give me ample notice as I'm often traveling for extended periods.

- Let me know if you have special needs or behaviors. I've managed all kinds of dogs, but would like to know how they interact with other dogs both on and off leash. This way I'll know what kinds of activities best suit them. I can also provide oral medications if needed.
