Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs of all sizes and ages for the past 20 years. I have always used a very simple approach to dog sitting. A tired dog that is engaged is easy to take care of. My property has lots of things that will keep your dog curious and entertained. I have squirrels that run around in the trees and moles that leave chutes in the ground. Outside my fence you will often see rabbits, deer and the occasional opossum. Your dog will love the new smells and occasional sightings of these animals. For physical activity I have plenty of long stretches for play and ball chasing as well as some basic agility obstacles your dog may find interesting. My semi wooded lot has lots of sticks to chew on. Your pet will be included in walks around the neighborhood and my local park. Having recently retired from corporate America I am looking for things to keep me busy and make use of my love of pets and experience caring for them. I also recently lost my dog to cancer and while I am not quite ready to adopt a new dog I miss having one around. I do not have a 9-5 so except for the occasional errand I will be around for your pet full time. I take the responsibility of caring for your dog very seriously. I attach a tracking tag to the collar of every dog in my care as well as an extra layer of security. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have and rest assured you will not regret booking me for any of your pet needs.

Ace & Cookie had a great time with Russell! I would liken him to an uncle that the kids (in this case, our family dogs 😆) would have a blast with, because he’s super-nice and easygoing, he allowed them to have fun but also spent time with them and gave them some structure. He was also communicative and easy-to-reach, he sent us updates and pictures, and overall we just had a good experience with him. Thank you, Russell!!! 🫶😊

This was our first time using Rover and Russell was amazing to deal with. He communicated promptly through the whole process of booking right till pick up. . He provided photos during our 2 dogs stay . He put our minds at ease that our dogs were being well taken care of and enjoying their time with him. We would not hesitate at all to book with Russell again.
