Hello and thanks for reading my profile. My name is Robert and I’ve always been passionate about dogs. I previously bred, trained, and showed Doberman Pinschers. I also raised a Miniature Pinscher who lived to nearly 18 years old. Growing up, I had a unique mixed breed dog that looked similar to an Old English Sheepdog. He was a mix of German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, and Pekingese. I host your family member in my home and provide a structured, home based boarding environment. Questions? Feel free to inquire.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our pup Huck was very happy at Robert's! He was able to socialize with other dogs, and Robert sent photos regularly. A great first Rover experience!
Rob is amazing! He goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is as comfortable and well attended to. Highly recommend and will continue to bring my senior pup to him.
Robert is fantastic and has an impressive setup to host multiple dogs at a time, both reactive and friendly dogs. Great communication and well priced. Highly recommended!
A perfect a well designed place for a dog to comfortably stay. The dogs were secured and had a lot of freedom to roam with plenty of water stations. Robert kept everywhere tidy and clean. He was very helpful with my problem dog who does not socialize well and not very friendly. I will definitely keep Robert at the top of my list and come back again.
Robert was very reliable and accommodating. He helped care for Brover while we were traveling. We will reach out to him again in the future.
Robert took good care of our 1 year old pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. He gave us updates and has a great space to accommodate our dog who sometimes needs separation from others because he is un neutered still and is learning boundaries. We will be a return customer!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and host dogs from different households. If your dog is less social, reactive, or prefers more space, please let me know. I can often still accommodate them depending on temperament, behavior, and availability. Dogs may be separated or rotated as needed for safety, comfort, rest, and compatibility.
