Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 very friendly dogs, and have a fenced yard. I walk dogs with a variety of leashes, collars and harnesses. I am careful to walk when there is traffic, people and other dogs. I always clean up after the dogs.

Information Robert D. would like to know about your pet

Need to know if dogs are anxious or aggressive? Are they socialized with other dogs or people? Do they have special needs regarding training aids, treats, walk times or distances, food options if sitting, and command words and actions they are used to?

A typical day

Various walks and games with dogs. Off-leash (my dogs only) opportunities when at open and safe spaces. Training sessions daily. Snuffle Mat games and fetch are favorites.

Pet care experience

I've had several dogs over 40 years, some large and some small. Currently we have a 7 year old Rat Terrier and a 3 year old Golden Retriever. I frequently take care of as many as 4 other dogs from my family and friends, including puppies and large intact males. I've worked with several trainers, and worked with aggressive and reactive dogs. I plan to become a certified trainer within the next year.

We can’t recommend him enough! He took such amazing care of our two dogs, Sunny and Hutch, and treated them like they were his own. From walks and playtime to regular updates and photos, it was obvious how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. Knowing Sunny and Hutch were in such great hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly passionate about caring for dogs, he is the one to book. We’re so thankful for the wonderful care he gave Sunny and Hutch, and we will absolutely be using him again!

Robert is an excellent dog walker! He is very punctual and available very early in the morning and very often. I have used him several times in a row for several weeks to walk my dog! My dog seemed happy and well cared for! Would 100% recommend! If he can’t make a certain time he will also make a reasonable effort to communicate that to you and offer what time he is able to make it.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
