Animal lover with time and desire🐾

Pet care experience

I know how hard it is to not only find someone you trust to care for your Littles, but who will do so like they are their own, with lots of love, walks and play. I’m honored to have the opportunity to add you to the growing list of great families I’ve connected with so far. I hope you’ll read some of their kind reviews. If allowed, I’ll do my best to make time away from you comfortable for your babies, and let’s face it, YOU! 😉❤️ About me: I’ve been lucky enough to have shared love with many animals throughout my life. Nothing like the unconditional love from an animal, is there? For some reason, they are drawn to me and I to them and you’ll learn I genuinely appreciate the connections I’ve made with my clients and their parents. I’m naturally protective and hyper aware (great poppa bear instincts). 🐻🐾 Learning your little one’s tendencies, likes, behaviors, triggers, is important for me to make a real connection and earn their trust too. I know how important the details are (one of my favorite dogs, Cooper, can only drink out of a clear bowl😂). I take pride in creating a comforting and fun experience. I’ll be happy to reinforce any current training you’re working on and am happy to water plants/yards (house sitting clients) maybe bathe your pup, if desired (additional fee-not all breeds or temperaments-sorry). I don’t have any animals of my own, currently, so I am a perfect fit for dogs who struggle socially with other dogs too. 💜 I promise your baby will love me ALMOST as much as I love them! Thank you for stopping by and I hope we get to work together soon. I do tend to fill up quickly so please reach out with any questions so we can get you booked.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is dog-proof; perfect for curious puppies! Animals are allowed on the sofa and bed — it’s theirs to explore during their stay here. 🐾 I live in NW PDX, near safe parks and lots of good spots for them to exchange p-mails with their furry brethren. Love exploring the neighborhood and have a passion for the architecture so the more walks the better. I’m on 3rd floor, with secure access and good neighbors. My apartment building is very dog friendly! Raised in the Midwest to be polite, and respectful, I promise to be your favorite house guest! 🏡 I am always respectful and quiet in other’s homes, and promise to care for your things and plants just as well as your fur baby.

Information Woody R. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn about your pup’s needs, preferences, tendencies so I can make their time away from mom/dad as rewarding as possible. Clear expectations and communication is key to helping me achieve that.

A typical day

Plenty of exercise, belly rubs and play with their favorite toys. I will treat your puppers like they are a good friend, visiting from out of town. Mi casa Su casa, with active entertaining and desire to please.

Availability

I am lucky to have flexibility to persue Rover full time, currently! If s/he’s up for it, your pup can join me on adventures to the river, water falls, or park or we can catch up on some rest and relaxation 🐾 I love walking dogs around the neighborhood to check their “pee mail”. I also love to cuddle and play with cats and watch TV. I love to explore the outdoors, and there’s no better way than with a friend whose energy ignites mine. My animal whisperer 22 year old son lives with me. He works 4 10’s and has Friday-Sunday off. When home, he will definitely want play with your fur babies, if allowed. They naturally gravitate toward him too, so you’re getting a kind of twofer! 😉😂🐾
