Grew up in a family of vets and biologists, so I have always been surrounded by animals. Have had a dog my whole adult life. I hike a lot and do a lot of walking, and would love to take your dog to see mountains and forests

Roo is amazing! My girl Yuki had the time of her life with Roo and his pup. Roo made sure to communicate with me consistently giving updates daily. 10/10 recommend Roo for any sitting needs.

Roo has cared for my two dogs, Ziggy and Avo, several times and treats them like his own. He takes them on tons of adventures and they always come home happy and tired. He's reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves dogs. I trust him completely with mine.

Roo has taken care of our dog Khan dozens of times, and we couldn’t recommend him more! He is incredibly reliable, caring, and very active with Khan. He makes sure Khan gets plenty of walks and outdoor time, and when we’re away, he often takes him on adventures like hikes at Discovery Park or even out toward the Cascades, always checking with us first. He also loves mixing things up with outings like trips to Alki Beach for a day by the water, and regular visits to Magnuson Park Dog Park, which Khan absolutely loves. Roo’s dog Kanga is also incredibly friendly and has become one of Khan’s best friends, which makes staying with Roo even more fun for him. Roo is very comfortable and confident with larger, energetic dogs and handles Khan’s strength and excitement on walks with ease. He’s active enough to keep up with Khan’s energy and makes sure he gets both exercise and attention. We always feel completely comfortable leaving Khan in Roo’s care. He’s dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves spending time with dogs. We trust him completely and would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter!

Roo has watched my dog Niko a few times, and everything always goes perfectly! Niko is happy to go back and I'm happy knowing Niko gets his daily medicine and exercise, because Roo takes care of him like his own dog!

Roo is a great dogsitter. He has watched my dog Carl multiple times, and Carl probably has more fun with Roo than he does with me!

We have had Rustam take care of our 3 dogs/2 cats and he does an excellent job. He is dependable, caring, and loving. He has a way with animals no matter what kind. I would give his info to anyone

Kanga is very active so try to walk him around 5-6 miles a day, and hike on my days off. Would love to take dogs with me on adventures to see places around Washington

A typical day

On days off, we go hiking even when raining. My favorite area is the Olympics but if the time does not allow, we stick to nearby parks like Rattlesnake Ledge. During workdays, long walk in the morning and after work.

Let me know if you dog has any dietary restrictions or medical needs. My go to is to tire the dogs out with exercise, but will adjust with each dog accordingly.
