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.

Remy’s 2nd stay with Robert just as successful as his first. Robert thoughtfully sent a few photos of the activities. They were engaged in. Robert also dealt very thoughtfully with a timing/travel snafu that we ran into in an area where we did not have good Wi-Fi or cell service. We very much appreciate his calm, gentle and kind services.

I wish there were more stars to leave for Robert. He deserves about 1000+ gold stars. 1. He was very clear when he had questions regarding Elwood's 'weird' behavior(s) and accepting of Elwood's quirks. 2. Robert sent photos and texts frequently to update me on their adventures. 3. Robert introduced his 3 yo child to Elwood and it was copacetic. 4. Elwood went on many walks and had many sniffing experiences. 5. Elwood misses Robert. He is sad without his new friend. A huge thank you to Robert.

Robert took great care of Jenny and sent updates and pictures each day. I’d be happy for Jenny to stay at Robert’s again!

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!!
