Will run, walk or swim your dog!

Pet care experience

I am semi retired man with 35 years of experience in pet sitting, dog walking, grooming, house sitting and dog training. I am a former Guinness Book of World Record Holder for the fastest dog trainer in the world. (1984 - 1992). Dogs have always been my passion. I have owned and cared for multiple dogs at a time since I was 16 years old. I am compassionate, patient, gentle and kind with an emphasis on safety while your beloved pet is in my care. I do not own any cats at this time but would be open to cat sitting in your home or just checking in from time to time. I have a facebook page called "Dog Lifers" with pictures, videos, news stories and letters of reference from organizations and people whose dogs I have cared for over the years. Your dog is my guest and enjoys a vacation when away from home. Once a dog stays with me there is no other place s/he would rather be. I do not run a boarding operation. One on one, giving your dog my absolute attention. I can accommodate two dogs if they live together. I found that picking up your dog at home is less stressful than being dropped off at another location. The dog maintains the image of you and home base. Returning the dog to his or her home and seeing every thing is the same as when they left allows the dog to feel more confident and secure about leaving the next time. Please feel free to text or call and discuss my services at any time. Sincerely, Armand Rabuttinio

Armand was very flexible to deal with and had a true commitment to making sure Chester had a great stay. He was thoughtful about socializing Chester with his puppy and gave him lots of attention. I will definitely use Armand again.

Armand was great - clearly really careful and thoughtful and great with dogs. He was responsive and easy to work with - super flexible on times and picked up and dropped off Hudson. We met with Armand and Caroline and she was sweet and got along well with Hudson. Armand was training her how we were training Hudson and we knew he would treat him just as we would. His dog was was playful and sweet and not overbearing - a really good match for our dog, who is playful but can't really handle rough playing (a couple dogs we met were more rough than I was comfortable with). I think Rover is a great opportunity for our social, only dog to interact with other dogs, but I wanted someone & a dog that I really trusted to make sure Hudson was safe & didn't feel harassed. Armand was home all the time, really conscientious, and Hudson came back happy & seemed to have a really calm, relaxing and rewarding visit while we were gone.

I met Armand when he came to my house to train my dog we became fast friends and soon fell in love, it's now 12 years later. Over the years I have witnessed him dog sit, house sit, walk, swim and run dogs. Almost all of his clients have become life long friends. Armand is a caring compassionate person who truely cares about taking care of and training dogs. Sincerely, Julie English
