Full-time Dog Lover and Caregiver
Full-time dog lover who will treat your dog as a member of my own family in a safe and secure environment while you're away. My home is just north of Oshawa on a historic country property surrounded by 5+ acres of environmentally protected lands that the East Oshawa Creek passes through. My home’s indoor space can accommodate up to three guests at a time, when all are under 60 lbs, and I ask that all guests be housetrained, spayed/neutered, have up to date vaccines, and use flea/tick medication. Your dog must also enjoy the company of other dogs. If you have any questions at all, please message me directly at any time. Thank you. Bob 'Gramps' Rodkin PS: New to Rover?

Ratings and reviews
Bob was very responsive and great to deal with. Great setup for our Lab and would definitely use again.
Bob was amazing! You could tell he genuinely loves dogs! Arlo settled in great with him and had a blast. We will definitely be using him again!
Bob was great! I would highly recommend him! Winston really enjoyed his time with Bob! We never worried about our fur baby! Bob sent lots of pictures too, which was awesome!! Thank you so much Bob!
First time using Rob to babysit Badit our border collie. We were extremely nervous leaving our dog with a stranger for a couple of days. Bob was great, he sent us pictures every day which we appreciated and made us feel better seeing him. He even texted us to tell us Bandit had been coughing which turned out to be nothing but it reinforced that Rob was taking care of our dog. We are so happy we found Rob, now if we choose to go away we know Bandit will be in good hands. I cannot thank Rob enough!!
Bob is FANTASTIC. So patient and cared for Parker as if Parker was his own. Bob’s house we call “summer camp” for Parker. Parker had so much fun and LOVES Bob! Bob’s house is officially Parker’s second home!!! ??
Bob is amazing! He requested a meet and greet before their stay. This probably helped reassure us as much as it did Ellie & Obie.? Our pups had a fabulous time in his care. He even sent us a picture and update once they settled in. We would be pleased to book with Bob again!

Schedule
Your dog will spend his/her time living in my home with me on the Oshawa Dog Club property 100% of the time, except for the odd occasion we may visit an off-site dog park or conservation area. I do not have any employees so during your dog’s time here he/she will be in my care 100% of the time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large un-fenced, forested property backing onto Oshawa Creek. The property also includes a fenced area that encloses the dog clubhouse. Dogs that are able to be off-leash have run of the entire property, although ALWAYS supervised.
Pets
A typical day
While visiting with us your dog will explore our entire property. This includes the forest trails, the creek, and even a visit to the goats and pig pen — but just to look, they aren't allowed to mix with non-dog animals :) Whether your dog is allowed to roam on or off leash during our frequent walks depends on their behaviour and your instructions.
