Information Troy S. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know what the dogs personality is like and how they interact with other animals. And if the dog was on medication or needed special treatment I would just want clear instructions.

A typical day

I live by a decent sized park in north Hollywood that I like to go to, it has a big grass field to play with the dogs! I like to go for walks, play fetch, tell the dog jokes, I could run some of my new material by the more mature dogs.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Troy — your friendly North Hollywood pet sitter and dog walker! I’ve spent the last 3 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from wiggly puppies to mellow seniors, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, feeding, crate training, and giving meds, and I’m very comfortable following detailed routines and special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep you in the loop with plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can relax while you’re away. I work [from home/flexible hours], which means your pet gets lots of attention, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, chill couch time, or trips to the park, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Tell me all about your pet’s quirks, schedule, and favorites — I’m excited to meet your best friend and give them the same care they get at home!

Troy was honestly amazing and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. He was super communicative the entire time and kept me updated with lots of pics of my baby, which I loved. You can tell he really cares — he treated her like his own, gave her lots of cuddles, and made sure she was taken care of in every way. He also watered my plants, which I did not expect but really appreciated. There was a moment where she had a little accident, and he handled it so calmly and cleaned everything up right away without making it a big deal at all. He kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. He followed all of my instructions perfectly and was always available when I needed him. Just overall super reliable and easy to work with. I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone ❤️

Troy has taken superb care of my little chihuahua while I have been away caring for my sick husband, who has since passed. Troy showed up every morning to feed her and take her out to play. I’d get home and he would be sitting on the patio holding her and rubbing her belly so she would sleep. He really loves that little dog, and she loves him and goes right up in his lap when he arrives. He’s been such a blessing and he is very reliable. I trust him more with the care of my little chihuahua, Mia taco, than my own kids! Sincerely, J Haley

I highly recommend troy for dog sitting. They are incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive, and it’s clear how much they genuinely love animals. I always feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in their care because they treat every pet like their own.
