Pet care experience

I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as pet sitting for many other dogs/cats/pets over the years. I’m always able to build a strong bond with all the animals I come into contact with by being very nurturing, giving them positive reinforcement so they can thrive and be happy. I can also quickly identify when a dog/pet is feeling ill from something it ate or has suffered an injury by stepping on something, etc. I’m obsessive about constantly observing my dog’s behaviors and making sure all is well. I would do nothing short of that same dedication for your dog/pet as well. I’m currently wearing many hats as an entrepreneur and so my schedule fluctuates and is never really in a fixed routine. That being said it is extremely flexible and perfect for dog walking/pet sitting since I can take on new bookings quickly and easily. No wife/kids.. so my free time schedule is also very flexible. There are times when I have other jobs I need to complete but they are usually also very flexible and can be moved around in order to accommodate walking a pet or pet sitting. My home doesn’t have a fenced in yard but I make sure to leash them up good/safe so that when we go outside they can’t run off or anything like that. There is a shared grass yard space (sort of like a courtyard) in the middle of my townhome complex that is a very quiet/safe place for them to go potty and sniff the foliage. There are some dog parks nearby where we can take your dog to run around off-leash if that is something the owner permits. I love nothing more then to see them running free and frolicking/playing with their other furry friends. But if the pet isn’t social like that, then I can keep them safe at home no problem.

Known Russell A long time, he's always been great with his own pets and with mine anytime he was around them. He's very responsible, kind, and caring towards animals and has always been a dog person. He's definitely someone I'd trust my pets with, as a loving a responsible caregiver. I would highly recommend Russell for this position.

Russell has been an angel to myself and my sweet Poopsie! I was born with a club foot and have not been able to fully give the care my Norwegian Lundehund Poopsie needs daily. Poopsie loves Russell and he is very professional and knows how to care for animals. I highly recommend his services!

Information Russell W. would like to know about your pet

It’s very important for me to know if the dog/pet has any sort of abnormal behaviors, or if it doesn’t get along well with other dogs/pets in public social environments. Another crucial thing to know is if the pet has any specific diet requirements, or any allergies, etc..

A typical day

I usually like to ask the owner what they normally would do or where they take their dog for walks and play time off leash. If they don’t have any spots in mind, I have a few go to dog parks and other offleash areas that are located here locally.
