Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly Neighborhood Pet Care
Have been around and loved dogs my entire life. Took on pet care job before and during the pandemic. Traveled all over DC taking on dog walking appointments, and house sitting for clients with their dogs while they were away. Worked with dogs from early puppyhood to older and more senior dogs. Developed schedules and strategies for how to maximize every dogs walks and how to get them out and about with their friends.
Cat care experience
Russell also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My time as a pet care specialist involved me going into a clients home to either visit and spend time with their cats or pick up their dogs for their walks and then return them and give them a treat. All safety protocols are strictly adhered to and each pet is given the unique attention and care they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
I always know that Phoebe is in good hands with Russell. She really likes having someone around to give her attention and I think they have developed a special bond <3 Russell always gives lots of fun updates on what Phoebes doing throughout the days we’re gone. We never feel like we have to ask about how she’s doing because we’ll always know.
Russell watched my dog for two nights and did a great job! He sent lots of cute pictures and I could tell my dog was happy and relaxed.
Russell has been a great fit for walking Cheeto. He's reliable and communicative.
Had another great walk with Russell! Our dog Dashi really likes Russell after only 2 walks. Russell is great with anticipating Dashi's needs and responding quickly. Great communication and responsiveness. Looking forward to continuing to work with Russell and would definitely recommend him for a walk or stay.
We had a great first walk with Russell! Communication was great and our dog Dashi had a great walk with Russell. Our dog is a bit reactive and Russell handled Dashi's triggers very well and made for a nice walk. We look forward to walking with Russell again soon.
I'm so glad to have been able to book Russell for a second round of visits! Russell visited my two cats every day for nearly a month and took great care of them. He sent daily visit photos which put my mind at ease. On the day of my return my flight was delayed over 5 hours, and Russell very kindly made an extra visit to my guys to make sure they were fed and watered despite my delay. My cats and I loved having Russell!
