I've had dogs all my life and believe dogs make us better people. Pets are never left alone for long periods of time. I will care for your buddy as if it is my own. In order to give the proper attention to your buddy I do not have more than two dogs in my care at a time.

Your best friends safety is always my priority. I have a doggy door leading to an outdoor fenced in area and a path on my property leading to the lake for those swimmers.

Information Bob D. would like to know about your pet

Due to obligations I am unable to accept drop offs during the morning on Thursdays. Would want to know any special needs, medication, food allergies as well as idiosyncrasies. Also need to know who your Vet is and if pet has flea and tick prevention and up to date on shots, including the flu vaccine. Need also to know exercise needs, response to basic commands. I will respect your wishes as to feeding, being on furniture, and human food. I am able to supply a quality dog food if you would like for a nominal charge.

A typical day

I have woods to explore and a path down to the lake for those water lovers. I walk my dog a minimum of three times a day and Parker would love to have a walk buddy. Since I love being around dogs I will gladly work on any training you would like

Bob was a fantastic sitter while we were out of town. He was communicative and we knew our dog was in good hands and having fun! He provided a great space & lots of love. Thank you Bob!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
