Information Bob B. would like to know about your pet

As much as possible such as walking schedule, foods/meal times, where he/she sleeps, allowed on furniture or not, favorite toys or past times like sitting on my lap or being chased around the house, any idiosyncrasies, etc.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Leashed walks will be in a residential neighborhood. If you allow, your pet will run free in my fenced yard. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Generally owners provide a bed or mat. I will put it wherever the pet is most accustomed. I usually let a pet sleep in the family room but I also have had them sleep in my bed room if that is their normal place. Many clients actually sleep on the bed. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible!!! I only take one dog at a time in order to maximize time with your pup. I am an adjunct instructor at the local community college so I am there for half a day twice a week. Otherwise, I am at home unless I need to run an errand.

Pet care experience

Ranch style house with fenced in back yard. Residential neighborhood with public park. Early riser for morning walks. Generally, your dog will have the run of the house. Lap time cuddling is a must. Also a member of Dogs on Deployment which supports our troops by caring for their pets when they are deployed. About this sitter: To quote Will Rogers: “If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” ― Will Rogers I have over 25 years of experience caring for dogs. In order to give your beloved pet my full attention, I only board one dog at a time unless there are several animals from the same household and you wish to have them stay together. Boarding dogs for me is like being a grandparent. I get to spoil your pets, have lots of fun playing with them and hopefully return them to you all tired out. They in turn, help keep me young. I strive to make your pet's stay as stress free as possible by following your normal daily routines and allowing the same behaviors that you do. All animals are precious to me. I have a small man made pond where I keep gold fish, turtles and frogs. My yard also has a bird feeder station that is a very busy place year round. Why I love dog sitting My last dog passed away in February of 2012. It was devastating. I decided to try boarding as a way to fill the void. Meet my pets Small man made pond in backyard for gold fish, turtles and frogs. About my yard Fenced in yard. See pictures. My experience administering medication Yes, oral medication

We used Bob as a sitter for our Poppi recently and I cannot say enough great things about the experience! Bob and Poppi bonded immediately and she was treated like a member of his family. Bob sent photos all week and made my nervous dog mom self feel incredibly comfortable with the experience. We will definitely be having Bob care for our girl in the future and I am so glad we found a sitter that makes me feel less guilty and anxious about going away without Poppi! Thanks again!

I'm so truly happy to have found Bob again for my second pup. He is the best and my pup loved him.
