About Robert D.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard outfitted with numerous dog toys waiting to be played with. I am a huge believer of daily walks to expel energy and for me to connect with your dog. I will treat them as if they were apart of the family. Dogs are allowed free roam of the house and will have frequent potty breaks and daily walks. I typically accommodate 2-3 dogs at a time to allow for a more intimate setting between your furry friend and me.

Information Robert D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog's diet, behaviors, commands, and preferences and I will do my best to accommodate! Food allergies and sleeping arrangements are usually the first questions I will ask at our meet and greet. Please have your dog updated on required vaccines and recommended healthcare preventatives (ex: flea/tick prevention)

A typical day

I have found simulating your dog's home routine here at my home helps with the transition to a new environment. I aim to follow the same schedule your dog is familiar with during their stay with me. Whether its 3 walks a day, extra cuddles before bed, or a cozy bed to sleep on, your dog will have all of the amenities they could ask of.

Rob is fantastic - very kind & calm, which is perfect for our Fritz! He took care of Fritz for 11 days & I never worried about him once. This is the third time we’ve booked with Rob & I’m so happy to have someone I trust to book with again. No apprehensions, just gratitude! Thank you!!

First time we have used Rover for our dog. Robert was terrific! His home had a welcoming atmosphere and it was apparent that Robert understood that Remy needed to feel a part of the household. The two other dogs Robert was pet sitting were terrific. I think Robert managed all the interactions beautifully and Remy ended up having a pack for the weekend. We will definitely ask Robert to dog sit again.
