Our dog, Luna, is usually nervous meeting new people, but Robert knew this and handled the first introduction in a very calmed manner and got Luna comfortable enough to stay with him overnight. He was very nice and understanding of Luna’s needs. In her first overnight stay, he sent us a couple of updates with pictures and one video. We will using his services in the future as he put us at rest with Luna and was super good at communicating before and during her stay. Thanks Robert!!

Robert was great with our two pups - a 55 lb staffy mix and a 5 lb chihuahua. He was communicative and dealt with the little one being high maintenance about eating, etc. It was great they could stay in the same space but not have to be with all the other dogs since the little one is so small.

We are so grateful to have Robert in our lives. He truly cares for dogs and has excellent communication. We know our anxious, allergy-ridden pittie is safe with him. Thank you, Robert!

Information Robert C. would like to know about your pet

I find it helpful to learn a little bit about a dog's temperament. For example: dog friendly, dog aggressive, food aggressive, toy aggressive, shy or outgoing, any special diet needs, allergies or special requirements. **Dog Aggressive and Unneutered Male Dogs over the age of 1 years will be charged an additional Special Handling Daily Fee of $31.25** Please make sure your dog’s Rover profile is updated with care instructions including amount of food to be given in addition to the frequency.

A typical day

Daily fun subject to change depending on boarder! Typically Boarding Daily Schedule (Subject to change often and dependent on the needs of your dog) Morning Wake Time: Wake up from a restful night's sleep in my private pavilion (if not lounging in one of the bedrooms) to some outdoor time to stretch my legs and potty. Breakfast is served! Afterward, I may rest in my pavilion to digest my food before playtime begins or skip straight to exploring and playing. Morning/Midday Morning Play Time: My full day of playtime begins complete with supervised socialization, fetching, romping, and maybe some lounging. Midday/lunch Lunch & Naps: I’m pooped. It’s time for a nap and maybe some lunch or a snack in my private pavilion. Afternoon Afternoon Play Time: Back to it! It’s time to play! Evening/Night Dinner: Time for dinner! By the end of the day, I’m tired. It’s time to digest and relax. After digesting, I get some more outside time to stretch my legs and potty before being tucked in for the night. Bedtime Sleep: Lights out! Time to rest after a day of fun. By morning, I’ll be ready for more!
