Russell was great with Bishop. He is also very communicative, and he provided videos and pictures during his stay.

Russell is always great with our dogs, he is there if we need him on a short notice and he spends time with the dogs and sends lots of pics and a synopsis of how the visit went, we appreciate him and use him regularly!

Russell was amazing, he provided frequent updates and gave us peace of mind by communicating with us often. I would recommend him for any pet sitting services, and I would definitely be booking future stays!

Schedule

I am at home during the weekends. I work during weekdays for 8 hours, and come home every day at lunch to dog walk. My schedule can be slightly flexible, so just ask. I can also provide transportation if you need it. I can do drop-ins, but do not stay overnight.

Safety, trust & environment

If I board your dog at my apartment they will need a crate, but can roam in my living room when I am present. They can play and have fun, just request what kind of care you are looking for. You will need to provide food, dog leash/collar/harness. I can provide doggy bags, training pads, blankets. At your request, I can also provide you with a link to a webcam so you can check in with your pup. I also keep my apartment extremely clean, so there is no risk of your dog eating something they shouldn't. When I dog walk I always make sure your dog is securely harnessed with a leash or harness, and never let them back away from me to prevent them slipping out. I am very careful when entering/leaving my apartment, so there is no risk of them getting out; plus they will most likely be crated if I have to leave the apartment.

Pets

A typical day

I can walk your dog to the dog park, and let them play at my apartment. I have plenty of dog toys they can use to play with too.
