Responsible long-time friend of dog

Pet care experience

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!

Kolohe came back to us tired and happy, signs of a week well spent with Rob & family. Rob was super flexible with pick up and drop off times, which really helped as our timing was tight on both sides. Thanks!

Rob and his family provide the perfect environment and care for our 3 y.o. fun-loving and quirky Golden. Our girl, Mango, is quite playful and energetic and all her needs are met at Rob’s which is very reassuring to any dog parent. We just returned from a 3 week trip and Mango got all the attention, exercise, and snuggles that we could have wished for.

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.

Information Rob W. would like to know about your pet

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.

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!

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.
