Ive been on Rover since 3/2023 . Also, live in pet friendly community w private fenced dog 🐕 park. I offer many services for small- medium-large size dogs of all breeds. It depends on the doggie. The pet owner is also a customer. The customer is always right. I will depend on their wishes on everything from diet, exercise, walks, off-leash (fenced areas), and socialability. I have ability to private play (i call them red collar doggies) your loved one if it is in pet/pet owners best interest. Strength of my work is my dog friendly community, my own 2 little guys (combined 21 lbs) and developing/ improving on your doggie social world through play skills, w age not always being determining factor.

Information Robert C. would like to know about your pet

Special needs, especially behavioral needs should always be addressed so as to best understand your pet. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, and the more you can share about your loving pet the better the start of the relationship.

A typical day

It would be a privilege to meet your dog, hopefully over time get to really know your pet's personality. Different breeds, different sizes, all w unique gift of providing love and joy. Special places to go will be addressed w pet owner based on your dog's needs and personality.

Pet care experience

Since 2023, I been blessed by caring for 167 doggies of all sizes, and breeds. Wonderful dog loving parents, emergent, seniors, 100 lb puppy. Cast of characters . No contagious events 🙏 never would my ego overthink your instructions as it pertains to your loved one. You give discipline day-to-day, and know I’m here 24/7. It’s been such a lift in my spirit since 2023. No dog whisper, just grew up as most, w my pet. When I see, and owners agree, meeting doggies they have been with, it a dog friendship craving as mush as humans. It’s an honest business bc your dog, upon return will let you know how it went, lol. Currently, 56 year old male, retired. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have 2 loving dogs- Abbey & Blu (pomeranian/ Pomsky) around the 2 years old range. Well trained play safe doggies. I am home, and available all day for your loved one. No crates, alone time, or unsupervised is my guaranteed when booking. Honestly, I have always preferred the company of dogs over humans 🙂. And in my retirement years, i have dedicated my time to caring, and protecting all/ any kind of canine. What is included w bookingmy dog day care from others is 1) private dog friendly community. Safe, isolated, and private dog park area. Gated, pet safe, and walking distance from my residence. In these times, keeping your doggie away from public parks may be your preference 2) I can offer social, safe, healthy play time environment, or complete isolation, based your doggie needs. Would love to meet you and your loved one soon. Respectfully- Robert from Springfield, NJ.
