Information Robert (Chip) D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs that require specific instruction for your dog’s care. I’m more than happy to give your dog the attention they need.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for walks to explore and experience the outdoors. If you like, we can walk trails on conservation land, rail trails, or the neighborhood. Runnng and playing is just as important as exploration, and I love playing fetch, or encouraging a dog to run around and play.

Former farm boy who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm, and always cared for multiple dogs at the same time. My wife and I have had, or cared for dogs almost all our adult lives. I enjoy caring for dogs and spending time walking with them, playing with them, and just being with them.

Chip was fantastic! Ella went on long hikes and actually looked like she lost a couple pounds (which she could use). We received pictures and frequent updates which is great to see when you are away. Ella was well taken care of and it was a pleasure to work with Chip. We will definitely be back when needed. Thank you!

Chip was so wonderful to our Bailey! He had excellent communication skill, was friendly and sent photos and updates during Baileys stay with him. Highly recommend!

Chip was excellent! He was very responsive when I contacted him. He was flexible and eager to watch our dog Cerci. During Cerci's time with Chip, he regularly updated us on her days, sent pictures, played with her, and provided their walking routes. He was attentive to her needs and did a great job giving her medications which were needed three times a day. We highly recommend Chip and will be using his services again.
