Pet care experience

Flexible and reliable sitter.

30+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from Chihuahuas to Malamutes. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors needing extra patience and care. I’ve volunteered at veterinary offices and trained under a professional dog trainer, so I understand dog behavior, basic health needs, and safe handling. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I focus on keeping your pet safe, happy, and on their routine. Reliable, attentive, and experienced—you can trust your dog is in good hands.

Russell is amazing with dogs and honestly just animals in general. You can tell right away how comfortable they feel around him. He’s really patient, super caring, and treats them like his own. He takes the time to work with them too, whether that’s a little training or just hanging out and giving them lots of love and cuddles. It’s such a good feeling knowing your pet is in great hands. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Schedule

Currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for care. I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and playtime throughout the week after 4pm, with open availability for boarding, extended stays, and weekend care. I’m happy to accommodate both regular weekly schedules and last-minute needs whenever possible—your dog’s routine and happiness come first.

Safety, trust & environment

Safe, two-story home with a fully fenced yard in a quiet, low-traffic Lake Houston community. Nearby trails and dog parks for plenty of exercise. I prioritize supervision, secure spaces, and a calm environment so your pup feels safe and at home.
