Teaching & dogs are my jam

Pet care experience

I am a teacher so I work on the teacher schedule. I no longer have a personal dog as she passed away. If your dog can stay at home for the work day with no problems, then I might be a good fit for you! I also have summers off to spend optimal time with your pup(s). During the early pandemic, I worked at a dog training company for over a year, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have an 11yr old son who’s with me every other weekend. I have a duplex (half of a house) with a small yard. I have had dogs of all breeds and sizes stay with me, and I’ve never had any issues. So as long as your dog is good with children and potentially other Rover dogs, we should have a great time! I’m responsible and reliable.

Rob took amazing care of my Kade. He was communicative throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and checked in with thoughtful questions and clarifications. I could tell from Kade’s mannerisms in every update that he was genuinely happy and comfortable. I already have another booking planned — that’s how good the experience was.

Rob was great. He took excellent care of our dog, sent daily picture(s) to let us know our dog was doing well. Rob was very flexible as well, regarding drop off and pickup times. We would definitely recommend him!
