Pet care experience

Great care for you babies!

Since I was a young child, I’ve always loved animals. So when my neighbors need someone to care for their babies, it was a no brainer! I would do overnights at their house and take their dogs on walks. I always wanted my own and I have a dog now, Hinah and she’s the apple of my eye! I’ve taught her all the basic commands and we are now working on the fun stuff! I also am my own groomer! Super lucky that my dog loves baths.

It was a great experience. Robert was very accommodating even when the booking request was made only last minute. He was a professional and responsible person and willing to take extra miles when unexpected situation rose. I would highly recommend him :)

I hired Robert to walk my dog (Haddie), and he does an amazing job! Haddie loves him! He is great at communicating when he’s going to arrive to walk her, and relaying any important information!

Schedule

I am currently working part time, but my schedule at work is very flexible. As long as I have prior notice, my bosses are good with giving me breaks for walks if needed. Also I walk my own dog 3 times daily so I definitely can make time for more.

Safety, trust & environment

I personally crate trained my dog. She no longer sleeps in the crate at 2 years old, but she still has the discipline. I will treat your animal just like my own. If you have any special rules or needs, I can totally accommodate that also. My house is clean and big free! I vacuum daily and yes, animals are allowed on my couch!

Pets

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs! It’s a great way to get high energy dogs the exercise they need. When it’s warm I love to take my dog to Rabbit Run in Trumansburg to play in the water. She LOVES water!

I’d definitely like to know temperament first off. Then any health concerns or medication. I’d like to know how they are with other dogs because I’d love for them to meet Hinah. Besides that the basics needs are good to know.
