Flexible and Playful - With a Yard!

Pet care experience

My whole life has had dogs involved - I grew up with three dogs in my family and even took two of them to keep me company at college! I also have experience working with rescue dogs, as my sister owns two rescues of her own and occasionally needs a sitter. My time with senior dogs, puppies, and rescues makes me the perfect fit for a customized and loving experience with your pet! I've even rehabilitated one of my dogs from two torn ACL's - he's 13 now and is better than ever! Located in Oak Square in Brighton, I live close to a dog park and love taking walks along the Charles River. I have a full house in a quiet, residential neighborhood and a back yard which is 90% fenced in. Dogs have always been part of my life and I look forward to building a relationship with yours!

Rob was AMAZING!!! I usually don’t leave reviews but rob far exceeded my expectations. He sent me at least 4 pictures a day of dexter so I knew he was okay. He went around my schedule and came all the way to meet dexter to make sure he was well acquainted with him. I will definitely be booking rob again not only for me but for Dexter. Hands down best dog sitter I have ever had!!!

Rob is a very reliable and knowledgeable dog sitter. He took care of Finnegan (my male Labrador) on numerous occasions as early as 4 months of age. Finnegan was a very active and mischievous puppy and required a lot of supervision. Rob was up to the task. It was obvious he had a lot of experience with younger dogs. He clearly enjoys dogs as he would play with Finnegan but was also firm in dealing with his puppy nature. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob for any dog-sitting circumstances

Rob is seriously the best-he's like the dog whisperer! He has a natural love for dogs, as well as a patient and calm demeanor so dogs are immediately comfortable with him. I've seen him with all types of dogs-big dogs, small dogs, rescues, puppies, elders, and more-and it's amazing how great Rob is able to handle all of them. He's especially great with my two rescue dogs, who have abusive history and don't warm up to people often (if at all). But when Rob is dog-sitting or walking them, they are playful, affectionate, and happier than ever. You're truly missing out if you aren't booking walks or stays with Rob-my dogs adore him, and yours will too!

There isn’t a pet that doesn’t connect immediately with Rob! He is kind, conscientious, and has tons of energy to play. Rob pays close attention to detail, and will never let you ( or your pet ) down ! Growing up with digs his entire life, Rob understands the care and attention that all pets need. He has been taking excellent care of my 13 year old lab for several years. He’s the best!
