Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible long-time friend of dog
Hi there, you've come to the right guy! My name is Rob, I am a responsible, kind and friendly dog lover! I have well over 15 years of experience caring, walking, training and sitting dogs! I can handle dogs of any size and have cared for dogs from the age of 4 months to 15 years. I have been a dog owner for the past 17 years (mostly two at a time) and currently have a one 2 y.o. pup who is energetic loves to play with every other dog she meets. Rest assured that your pet will be treated like my own. I believe in providing a calm and loving environment by sticking to your schedule as closely as possible and making sure that your pup gets plenty of exercise! An exercised dog is always a happy dog! I have no size or breed requirements, all breeds welcome!

Ratings and reviews
Rob was wonderful with my Chihuahua mix Pato. The best way I can describe how comfortable and cared for Pato felt with Rob and his family is this: when I came to pick him up, Pato went over to Rob to say goodbye before we left. That told me everything I needed to know. He clearly formed a bond with Rob and felt at home there. I'm very grateful for the care he received over the two weeks he was there. And I got a great variety of photos too :}
Holly spent a very fun week with Rob and his family during our vacation. Being able to play and socialize with other dogs for a week made it a vacation for her as well! I felt completely comfortable knowing that Holly was safe and well cared for.
Rob and his family are so kind and gentle and made Jersey Girl feel comfortable and at home during her first stay with them. A home away from home.
Another great stay for our dog and his friends over the weekend. We appreciate Rob’s care of him and the fun pictures and communication during the stay.
Rob and family took great care of our girl! She got in lots of play time and came home tired and happy.
My dog had her first sleep over with Rob and his family this weekend. It went well and Callie was well cared for and got a nice amount of exercise. Rob was very patient and accommodating of Callie’s very early morning routine. Communication was excellent. It’s always a relief to know your dog is in good hands!

Schedule
I work as a part-time freelance web designer, entirely remote. I make my own hours and have quite a lot of flexibility year-round, so with a little notice I can schedule in a walk or drop in visit to help you out and make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're at work or on vacation or on top secret missions.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my #1 priority. I will maintain open communication with you on any observations during my time with your pet. I have a single family house with a small fenced-in yard and a custom in-and-out pen. I can crate any dog if needed to be crated. I have experience in multiple different types of harnesses and leashes. I will always keep doors closed and fences shut to ensure your pet is safe.

A typical day
Depending on your doggie's needs we might play fetch in the yard, hike trails in the Fells, join the doggie frenzy at Sheepfold, or just walk around the block!

- It is helpful to know your dog's daily schedule for feedings, exercise routine, play time and relaxing time where applicable. I request “meet and greets” for any new clients to get know you and your dog. I do not have any breed preferences. Unfortunately, I'm extremely allergic to cats, so I don't be able to do visits at cat-friendly households.
