Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work late hours, which means I’m free every morning for walks, drop-ins, training, and quality time with pets. My partner works from home, so there’s always someone present to give pets attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends and bank holidays, making me flexible and dependable for both regular and last-minute care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their routine, comfort, and safety. I prefer taking pets on long walks so they can enjoy quality time outdoors, get proper exercise, and mental stimulation rather than staying indoors all day. That said, I always follow the owner’s preferences and the pet’s individual needs.

Information Robert A. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about your pet’s personality, routines, and any special needs ahead of time. Please share details such as feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, any behavioral quirks, medical needs or medications, and how they get along with other dogs. This helps me provide safe care and ensures your pet feels happy, comfortable, and confident while in my care.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a refreshing morning walk or outdoor playtime so dogs get exercise and mental stimulation. We’ll enjoy training, games, and plenty of attention throughout the day, with calm breaks and lots of cuddles. My partner works from home, so pets always have company, and I take plenty of photos to share happy moments. Evenings may include another walk or extra playtime, tailored to each dog’s needs and your preferences.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 and have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I can train dogs at any age using positive reinforcement and consistent routines, and I’m the proud owner of a very well-trained corgi. I also practice dog photography and love providing lots of beautiful photos so you can see your pup happy and well cared for.

Five stars because I can’t give him six. Needing emergency care, Robert drove to collect kiji at extremely short notice. He then kept in touch regularly, his knowledge and insight with a difficult breed is exceptional. My dog clearly loved her time there and I cannot wait recommend Robert enough.

Robert did a great job looking after our dogs during their stay. He took them out for a walk and made sure they were well cared for throughout. Looking after both of them at the same time isn’t an easy task, but he handled it really well. We felt confident they were in good hands and would happily recommend him to others.
