Your Peace of Mind - that simple.

Pet care experience

Caring for dogs in general and training Service & Personal Protection. Volunteers (both me & the hound in my pict) at Laguna Honda Hospital in SF. Rescued a decorated DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) GSD. I have cared for and trained GSDs, Dobies, Terriers, Labs and more. 5 years in Vietnam working with and caring for GSDs & Malinois - mine and the military. Worked as a volunteer with German Shepherd Rescue in San Diego & The Iditarod in Alaska. I love anything that barks or not - even temperamental Basenji. Cared for, trained and romped with 5 GSDs at the same time in the wilderness. No more "dog cars" in this lifetime so I come to you or you to me. Well seasoned, responsible senior. Your dogs safety & comfort as stress free as possible while you are away is primary.

We used Robert for the 2nd time to house and dog sit our German Shepherd. Robert provided prompt updates and was always quick to respond. He provides unparalleled care and treats our home as if it was his own; the neatest houseguest I’ve ever had! Robert was extremely reliable in following instructions for our dog’s care and medications. He’s an experienced handler of dogs and treats our dog as if it were his own. Quite simply the best anyone could ask for! I look forward to using Robert again knowing that everything will be professionally attended to and our dog will be thoroughly entertained and well taken care of. He provides the utmost piece of mind while we’re away.

Robert took excellent care of Mingo, They bonded quickly, pictures were sent daily and I didn’t worry at all, which had been a problem with other dog sitters. The house was left in immaculate shape, which was very appreciated.

Bob is so great with our animals. I don’t have many people I fully trust with my babies but he does such a great job that I don’t worry at all when I’m gone! He sends me pictures and updates every day and is very respectful of our home. We will be using him every time we go out of town!

Bob is the absolute best. He takes amazing care of my little blind Lily. She LOVES him. Goes straight to him when he arrives. I’m totally neurotic about my little girl but I have no worries when she’s with him.
