Pet care experience
Trusted, Reliable & Mature Pet Care
I’m a retired professional who enjoys staying active while providing dependable, compassionate care for pets. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, administering routine medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s and owner’s unique needs and routine. I also believe communication is essential, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your pet’s stay. Pet sitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most rewarding part of the experience. If you’re looking for a mature, reliable sitter who will provide exceptional care and give you peace of mind, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members.

Safety, trust & environment
Although typically we will not board at our home, on occasion we’ll make exceptions depending on the breed and temperament. We have two Shih Tzu’s that are extremely playful and nice with other pets. In your home, I will take care of your pets as you would.
Ratings and reviews
Russell was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Moose! From the beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in his care. He was kind, attentive, dependable, and clearly has a love for dogs. Russell took Moose on walks and sent us photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. Seeing her happy and comfortable gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for Moose! We would absolutely trust Russell with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog like their own.
Russ takes good care but also truly cares about your family and pets. We are so grateful.
Another great stay for my fur babies!
wonderful. will want him again if needed.
Russell went above and beyond in every way while house sitting the Pommy Pack. His communication was exceptional—thoughtful, clear and consistent and he took the time to ask questions and clarify every detail so we always felt completely comfortable. More than anything, Russell was incredibly considerate of both our home and our dogs. It genuinely felt like having a trusted family member staying in our home and caring for them, which is the highest compliment I can give. We came home to happy pups and a home that had been treated with so much respect. Finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs and your home is priceless. We would absolutely have Russell back and recommend him without hesitation. 🐾❤️
Another great stay with Russell and his family! Gg and truffle are part of the pack! 🥰
