Pet care experience

Enthusiastic Dog Dad + Animal Lover

Hello, hello!! I am excited to meet you & your furry friend(s) and am grateful for your consideration as you seek help ensuring they’re consistently well cared for. I’m well experienced with cats & dogs both -- among other critters! -- having helped + grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes as a kid to caring for my own as an adult. I’m an all-around animal & nature lover with a particularly extreme soft spot for doggos!!! <3 <3 <3 My partner Chris & I are raising THREE shelter-rescue dogs: Cinnamon, adopted at 8-months, is a 13.5 year old border collie mix; Kodiak, adopted at 11-months, is an 11 year old lab/terrier mix; Hazelnut, adopted at 2-months, is a 3 year old rottweiler/terrier mix. These fluff pups are some of the most important parts of our lives and we work hard to make sure they stay active, are healthy, happy & are showered in love. Chris & I relocated to Portland, OR with Cinnamon & Kodiak in August 2016 after a beautiful cross-country road trip/move from South Carolina. We've loved settling into our new PNW home and have laid roots getting married in January 2021 and then buying our first home in North Portland in December 2021. March 2022 brought baby 8-week old Hazelnut into our lives via Bend, OR based Street Dog Hero. Our two senior boys & baby girl comprise our very beloved "Eyebrow Gang" puppy dog crew. Its ALL dogs at our house! I started providing dog & cat care services 5.5 years ago in June 2019: it was something I’ve always wanted to do + the timing was perfect! As my profile shows, I work hard to provide excellent service both to you and your pets by responding to messages & inquiries quickly and providing every client (100% of bookings) with pictures along with a detailed summary note. Most importantly of all: I work to tailor the care I provide to each animal based on their unique personality, interests, needs, mood and of course no one knows these things better than their people(s)! *** Currently Chris & I are not hosting any dogs for daycare or overnights at our home. In the rare event we are able to board dogs with us, we do have a fenced in yard. Bobby is the sole service provider for all visits completed at your residence/neighborhood. *** There’s always some *gray area* of life of course, so if my service offerings or calendar availability don’t appear to match your needs, you are still very welcome & encouraged to submit a request! We can discuss the details of what you’re seeking via private message, and see what arrangements can be made, if possible. Stay wonderful & well y’all!

Safety, trust & environment

For the walks and drop-in visits starting from & in your home, I aim to provide seamless care for your dog or cat in the same manner they'd expect from you by utilizing all their usual comforts of home & care-related gear. If I utilize a physical key to enter your home, I will keep that on me for the duration of my visit until all services are complete.

Bobby was so lovely, communicative, and caring for our pups! He was very proactive to help make sure we knew the temperature was going to be hot outside and accommodate to make sure our dogs got exercise and time to go to the bathroom. So many photos! Would recommend.

I joined Rover back in June 2019 but have been a full-time service provider since June 2020. I tend to maintain open availability Monday-Friday each week, but weekends are always a possibility as well! As of late-February 2025, Monday & Friday tend to be my busiest days with more bandwidth midweek, Tuesday-Thursday.

I'd like to know everything you can tell me about your dog or cat to ensure I'm capable of providing care on-par with their day-to-day life and expectations with you! Discussing the finer details of your dog's or cat's care in person during a meet & greet is usually very worthwhile. As long as my schedule allows I highly recommend making time for a meet & greet. But since that may not always be possible, a few things to consider include but aren't limited to: tell me about their personality & energy? any food allergies? do they wear a jacket in the cold/rainy season? are they capable/allowed to say hi to other dogs/people/kids while out walking? where can I find their gear -- food, towels, leash/harness, litter box, food/water station/feeders/bowls, toys etc.? how will I gain access to your home?
