Veteran & RN Student who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I have always grown up with dogs and love all types. I have raised a handful of breeds to include shih tzus, yorkies, cocker spaniels, boxers, rottweilers, retrievers, labs, and currently a german shepherd and beagle. I rescued both who were in need of extra care and a home. I started puppy sitting my aunt's dogs and worked my way to friends. I am a trustworthy 11 year Marine Veteran who is in school for nursing. During the summer months I am free and looking to utilize my skills in taking care of your dog. I am flexible during the day and will have plenty of time to attend to your dogs needs, as well as, my own two. I am still an active person; whether running, swimming or lifting while meeting the demands of your dogs energy and needs. I also am very punctual and personable. Please take all the time to get to know me, I'd love to set up a time to meet you and your pooch.

Rob is a wonderful and responsible dog sitter. I have no hesitation about having him look after my four legged children! :) Rob is loving and is willing to go above and beyond to provide the most tender care for my dogs. My shepard had a phobia of cars - absolutely terrified of them - but Rob worked with her and was truly dedicated and now she loves rides in the car! It was a complete transformation that I didn't believe would ever happen! I highly recommend Rob if you need a pet sitter!
