Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Peace of Mind - that simple.
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.

Ratings and reviews
Robert took such great care of our corgi Zola while we were out of town. He took great care to make sure she was comfortable and on her normal routine. He is very communicative and sent us pictures every day to update us on how everything was going, which we really appreciate. Zola is very happy, too! Our home was also left in such good condition. We look forward to booking with Robert again in the future and absolutely recommend.
Bob is our favorite pet sitter! We can truly enjoy our vacation knowing that our babies are getting the care and attention they need.
We are always so happy when Bob takes care of our fur babies! He is great at giving us updates and making sure our requests are taken care of. Our house is clean and tidy when we get back and our pets always have a great time with him! We highly recommend him to everyone who asks!
Robert was a fabulous dog sitter. He wanted Lossie to be comfortable when we left so he arrived before 4:00 a.m. He took her out for nice walks, they sat on the back patio and watched the golfers go by and he played with her. He sent us a photo everyday with a one sentence update. The house looked great when we arrived home. We would book Robert again. He was great.
Bob was awesome once again. Our two dogs bounded easily once again and took advantage of multiple walks out on trails daily. Bob kept us well informed with daily updates and pix too. And he’s very low impact respecting the house and place. 110% recommendation.
"My wife and I cannot speak more highly of our sitter (Bob). This was the first time we had left our 11yr old German Shepherd (Gus). We went on an extended vacation. Bob took care of Gus at our residence (which by the way our home was spotless when we returned). We were provided with updates throughout our vacation. The pictures and updates were very much appreciated and we could tell that Gus was in good hands. Bob went beyond just caring for Gus, he picked up our mail everyday and took care of our landscaping. Bob kept on top of Gus's eye drops and saw to Gus's special diet. If anyone needs a sitter do not hesitate to contact Bob, you won't be disappointed."

Retired. Your kids will have focused attention, care and playtime for your peace of mind while you are attending to your away from home activities. K9s & their care have been a significant part of my life.
