Conscientious walker, next to tube Stn
Pet care experience
For walks and drop ins, I can only take dogs within a ten minute walk of Plaistow tube (though I walk down to my Gym in Canning Town Mon/Weds/Fri, so I might be able to fit you in :) ) I get a lot of enquiries from East Ham, Stratford etc. which are just too far away to be practical, sorry. I've had lots of repeat bookings through this app. That's mostly down to the dogs being pleased to see me again. Their enthusiasm is the best advertising and always puts owners at ease. Lots of opportunities for long or short walks nearby; West Ham park, Plaistow Park, Lister Gardens, Memorial Rec' or the Greenway for extra long walks. I already walk 15+ miles a week even without a dog. I work from home so daytime exercise sessions are on offer, in fact probably preferred. Experience with dogs of all ages and levels of fitness. Also experienced with dogs with additional medical needs. I do this because I love dogs but can't commit to owning one for various reasons. I will give your dog all my pent up doggy love 😊
Reviews
Robert took my booking on in such short notice, he sent lots of pictures and looked after him well while I was in labour. I would highly recommend him
Robert really helped us out at really short notice with my boy blu I highly recommend his service and will definitely use him again. Thank you Robert.
Robert is the dog whisperer he has an amazing way with dogs my little shorkie is a rescue very shy very nervous Rob brought out her personality to the point Jesse my little shorkie was excited to be dropped off at Roberts. Rob was very accomadating to Jesse and my needs. Very flexible I was updated with photos throughout the day and updated on what little Jesse was doing. I highly recommend Robert. I was nervous using this site as I have never used a dog sitting/walker but my new job I had no choice and it was an emergency and how lucky was me and Jesse to of found Rob his place is gorgeous nice and clean and he took care of Jesse to a very high standard which took care of me, we will 100% be using Rob again I don't know if my review has done Rob any justice. I can not praise his services and himself as a person enough. Thank you Rob we will be back. Review left by Devinas Sister for Jesse. Robert was very proffesional we all felt at ease. Robert was very accomadating by taking Jesse at 06:20am and I would collect Jesse around 17:30 or my sister would on days I could not just after 18:30. Jesse has become very confident and is an extremely happy dog. She is no longer scared of other dogs or people. Rob has a magic way with dogs I am very pleased my sister found him I would highly recommend Robert as well and yes we all will be back Robert. Jesse wags her tail when we drive pass your building. Thank you for your services.
Robert was able to look after Moog at very short notice, was hugely accommodating and was great with Moog from the moment we arrived. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I don't have any outdoor space. I'm in a 5th floor flat, so a dog accustomed to being able to be let out into a garden for 'instant relief' may have issues. When boarding i will generally take the 'guest' out for comfort breaks at least three times. On waking, mid day and before bed. I very rarely let other people's dogs off the lead. However good their recall might be with the owner, I'm just not comfortable with that level of trust in the dog's behaviour with me. I have had owners of more high energy dogs insist it's fine, and I've never had an issue. There are semi enclosed areas nearby, but none are fully enclosed.

Information robert b. would like to know about your pet
I'm not a dog trainer, but I am consistent. Owners have reported their dogs being a little better behaved after longer stays. I have had some fairly badly behaved (though not to me) guests, but I have also had to refuse bookings. Accidents happen (often on day 1), but I have a strict policy of not taking dogs who consistently don't have good 'house training' skills.
A typical day
This entirely depends on the dog. Some dogs like to sit on my lap while I'm working at the computer, some like to sleep most of the day and have to almost be dragged out for walks and pee breaks! I like to play with and pet my guests. I'm in this because I like dogs, but can't commit to owning one myself.

Availability
I work form home and have a very flexible schedule. Most people want a walk around mid day, but what constitutes mid day generally depends more on your schedule than mine. I can usually fit in with what's needed.
