Information Rob J. would like to know about your pet

I want to know food preferences and whether they’ve been trained. Also please let me know if your dog is more used to other dogs or if it’s more of a “human friendly” dog!

A typical day

I live by Marcus Garvey park and Central Park so we have many walk options. I have a football and I love sprinting with dogs and playing chase. For smaller dogs, I have a private backyard so they can play without feeling threatened.

Pet care experience

All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!

Rob was awesome with our pup over a long weekend! He’s a really cool down to earth soul which was a perfect compliment to our energetic 6 year old pup! We really appreciated the daily updates, as they went on daily long walks and adventures! Rob was also receptive to our pups needs and requirements. Thanks again Rob, we’ll certainly be requesting you again!

It takes a while for my dog to warm up most people and it did not take long for her to fall in love with Rob. We did an initial phone consultation to figure out if he was a good fit for me. He made me feel at ease with leaving my baby with him. He was nothing short of amazing. Updating me on my baby daily activity. Not a single problem. I was able to enjoy my vacation without feel guilty. I definitely plan to continue to use him. Amazing personality, confirms everything, and flexible.
