Uncle Rob - "The Dog Whisperer"

Pet care experience

I have a degree in Animal Science and grew up on a ranch in Montana where I've worked with dogs and all kinds of animals a majority of my life. I'm able to quickly earn a dog's trust; my friends even joke that I'm "The Dog Whisperer." Bottom line is that I love dogs and will treat yours as it were mine. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and also has a fenced dog park where we can play frisbee and fetch. I work from home, so I am able to take the dogs out 3-4 times per day. I look forward to taking care of your dog whenever you need help! About this sitter: I'm an entrepreneur, so I have the luxury of working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I love dogs, and they love me, so I thought picking up a few dog walking jobs during the day would be a good way to make a little extra cash and help a dog and their owner out in the process. Please contact me if you have any questions! Thanks! Rob Why I love dog sitting I grew up with and have worked with dogs my entire life; most of it was on a farm and ranch in Montana where we used several dogs to help us work cattle. My dogs were my companions and went with me everywhere during the work day. About my yard See prior question and photos of dog park.

Rob is a GREAT sitter! There are no words to describe how greatful I am to have found him. He is great with Cuddles (my dog) and I am at ease knowing that she is in great hands when under his care! I would recommend Rob in a heart beat! If you are looking for someone to watch your loved pet then Rob is your guy!

Rob was great with Scout -- he's always around to care of the pups and takes them out to play several times a day. He also sends great pictures so you can check up on your pup during their stay. I couldn't be happier. He's flexible, easy to work with, super helpful, and my dog loves him!

Rob was awesome! He helped me out last minute and watched my aussie pup Marty for a long weekend. I received lots of pictures and videos of Marty's stay. She seemed to have a blast playing with Dottie, Robs puppy. When I picked her up she was so worn out from playing and honestly seemed sad to leave her new friends! I would highly recommend Rob and will definitely book with him again!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will primarily be walking your dog around my neighborhood and also will spend time in our dog park where your dog can roam freely without a leash. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I will have a dog bed available and the dog will sleep in my room. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, so I will be with your dog all day. My apartment complex has an awesome fenced dog park, which we will frequent several times a day.
