Robert and Lea were wonderful. My boy Kelly loved his time with them! Robert took great care of the house, even laundry. Lea watered plants and became Kelly’s new best friend. They were both very kind and gave Kelly a special chew bone as a gift. Wonderful people and will definitely request their services again.

Robert is caring, conscientious, and a great communicator. My dog welcomed him into the family and was quite sad when he completed his time with us. I was completely at ease while we were away. Our home was in fire shape when we returned .

Robert was wonderful to have watching our 2 senior cats. One cat takes medication and Robert was able to administer it with ease. He sent updates and photos and we knew our fur babies were well taken care of. The next time we travel I am sure we will be looking to see if he is available.

We are having some remodeling done to our house and had scheduled the new products to be brought in a week after we returned. The GM of the job was unaware as we were all the products were brought to the house while Robert was there . A sink , toilet and flooring all swamped Robert within hours . On top of that he wasn’t feeling his best . He kept in contact with me and I asked if I should return home . Robert said he was feeling better and to continue our vacation. Thank you isn’t enough. Highly recommend Robert !!

Robert was the best! This was a last minute request over the holidays and he was right there for us! He took amazing care of our dogs….he kept us updated how they were doing, and clearly kept them entertained and safe while we were gone. I would request and recommend him again in a heartbeat! Mahalo nui Robert!!!!

I happily retired last year and considered dog day care or boarding businesses. For now, I like the idea of caring for pets in their natural environment. I have experience with horses and goats. I also pet and house sit in the Hawaiian islands as well as the American Southwest.

I can meet your pets needs within the home if medication or physical therapy are required. Advance knowledge and coordination is very important for positive results.
