I live for your pets trusting smile

Pet care experience

I accepted non spayed or neutered dogs, Rover won’t let me change the setting. ARE YOU IN NEED OF A DOG DRIVER OR JUST A PICK UP. I offer services for dog delivery in cases where you are stuck somewhere and your dog needs to picked up or dropped off, message me for more details. I’ve had multiple dogs I have raised from puppies and I have been around the birthing of puppies as well. I’ve trained both my own dogs and the dogs of friends and I enjoy guiding dogs to being their best self. I have worked with dogs who are Aggro,fear aggro, special needs and hyper active dogs. Small dogs, large dogs, extra large, I’m happy to work with them all! I also have a decent history with cats both owning and working with them. Other services I offer are house cleaning, yard work, grocery shopping, car cleaning, dog and parents coaching, etc. as extra services I offer especially during house sittings. Please note being honest with me about your pets behavior won’t make me turn down the sit. It would have to be extreme to the point I really worry for the pets health and mine. This is to ensure my safety and your pets, please be honest because if I don’t know your pet has a bitting history and suddenly bites me during the sit I own the right to end the sit then. If I know ahead of time I know what to be aware of and what situations are out of the norm and require parents immediate attention. I am not a sitter who will reject or harm your animal for its behaviors you may feel to nervous to share, be honest and we can come up with a game plan to ensure your pets safety and mine. I have been bitten and continue to work with those animals and have good standing relationships with them now but that started with the parents being honest with me and me knowing the animals triggers. I do drive a truck that has seatbelt latches and harness for dogs. I have been asked and truly shocked by the question but I’d never ever put your pet let along my own in the bed of my truck. My windows stay cracked only and it depends on the behavior of the dog if it’s safe for them and I for a car ride. I do hikes, pet stores, parks, up to the parents comfort and etc.

Russo is awesome! His communication was great, and we loved the daily pictures to share how our rottie pup and 3 kitties were having fun and feeling comfortable. The house was perfectly clean when we got home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend!

Russo was great! I had in error in the time and dates for visits and he accommodated me in a pinch. My pets loved him and his partner. My shy cat even finally warmed up.

Safety, trust & environment

I always treat every pet as if they were my own pets. I understand the importance of routines, maintaining my energy around the dogs so they feel comfortable and relaxed around me. Mainly being prepared for any situations that may arise while I am with you fur babies! I do inform all parents that my fiancé is sometimes in the car or helps me with Long term sits over a week long or multiple animals in the household. She is a certified groomer and sitter on rover as well. I will always send her profile link so parents are aware who else has their address and if I’ll need assistance who is helping me.

Information Russo G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behavior expressions that I need to be mindful of like biting, growling, non stop barking, chewing on things, food driven, etc. Also let me know about special needs, medication, routes or areas you like for your pet to avoid. If anything health wise changes for you dog last minute please communicate with me so I can ensure the best of care.

A typical day

I love hiking, swimming, fetch, and new activities that I learn a dog enjoys. Every dogs body and energy levels are different so I customize my care to each individual dog. The only thing I do routine to how you introduce your pet to me the first time.

I personally have my own pets who require a schedule, so I understand the importance of being regular with animals. I’m currently able to devote a good chunk of time towards loving on your babies, as this is my primary job at the moment.
