Hi, I’m Roman — and your dog will probably like me more than most people.

I started Scratch ‘N Sniff over 13 years ago because I genuinely believe the bond between a person and their pet is one of the most honest things in the world. Animals have been my anchor through some of the hardest chapters of my life — and I’ve never forgotten that.

This isn’t a side gig. It’s my life’s work. I run this business as a sole operator, which means when you book with me, you get me — not a rotating staff of strangers, not a kennel tech, not an app-assigned sitter. One person who truly cares.

I have a soft spot for the ones who need a little extra — seniors, anxious pups, dogs who’ve never done well in traditional boarding. In my experience, those are often the most loving dogs of all. They just need someone who gets it.
