Newly Retired-loves a dog’s company
Being retired I have flexibility in when I walk dogs and when I care for your dog I am pretty much with them 24/7 with the exception if I have to run out for an appointment or grab something at a store. I joined Rover because I absolutely love dogs and miss walking my Golden Doodle as he passed a few years ago. I walked in all weather and temperatures. I am comfortable with any sized dog. My kids have all moved away and it’s just my wife and I in our home. I have been dog sitting numerous times for friends as well as new and repeat customers. The timing of me getting a new dog isn’t right and this helps fill my cup of puppy love… did I mention I love spending time with dogs? We do have a large fenced in yard that dogs love to explore and do zoomies inside. Looking forward to the exercise and company. I only tend to one owner’s dog(s) at a time. I do travel a fair bit so my calendar is not always open...if it is, I’m looking for a puppy experience.

Ratings and reviews
Lexie loves her visits.
Neil was an excellent dog sitter for Lexie. She seemed really comfortable and happy with him from the start, and she absolutely loved her walks with him. Neil took great care of her, kept us updated and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Neil was great with my dogs and I appreciated how accommodating he was with my changing schedule. I will definitely be booking him again in the future.
Neil and his wife Sheila took exceptional care of our pups. It was our first time traveling without them and Neil made the experience worry free. Rue and Togo boarded at their home for 7 nights. They were out multiple times a days for walks, got to play in their beautifully fenced in back yard, and enjoyed lots of snuggles during the day! Neils reply time was very quick, no matter the time of day. He provided updates daily, with photos and even a video. Thank you, Neil and sheila for taking such great care of our fur babies. The pups are excited for their next paw-cation with you already.
Perita had another great Sunday with Neil!
Another great day for Perita with Neil :-)

Schedule
I recently retired so I’m flexible with the exception of trips I have planned throughout the year. Any type of weather works for me as well. I enjoy the company of a dog.

While I plan to walk dogs and travel to your location, I do have a dog-friendly house with a fenced in back yard. Our dog loved the back yard as do the ones I have boarded.
A typical day
I enjoy the company of dogs. I’m a dog person for sure. I love playing games with them… especially fetch! If they don’t mind the weather outside, I don’t either! Whether it is a slow walk smelling all the scents or a brisk walk, I’m comfortable with both.
