As a long time dog owner I understand the importance of quality care for your dog and its owners. I am focused on your dog only as I only take one at a time. I will consider multiple dogs if from the same household.

Information Robert F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any issues with your dog, what times and amount to feed them. Treats ? Medications ?Long or short walks, when to walk ? Pooping schedule, I've been through a lot with my dogs you need to know "I've got you." I understand worrying about your friend while you're gone. He/she will be in good hands.

A typical day

In the morning I open the door to let your dog out in the backyard and do his/her thing. Fresh water and clean bowls for breakfast and meds (if any) then a walk long or short depending on what you want. Usually hang in the backyard again, chill on the deck, or if too hot or raining hang out inside. Later afternoon go to a park and explore then back for dinner, play bed.

Pet care experience

30 years of ownership with many dogs from Beagles to German Shepards. I've navigated everything from aggression and separation anxiety to senior dogs and treated many for illness. Some pets need more more informed care and handling, When I care for your pet I'm also your pets advocate. When caring for dogs with high energy or behavior challenges it's critical to be aware of their body language and the situation around them. Many times the dog handler must be proactive in avoiding negative outcomes and it is this experience I offer my customers.In addition I want your pet to have a great vacation too.When I care for your dog it gets more than just a sitter, I will care for your dog as if it's my own.

Robert was a great caregiver for our pup and has great people skills, too. He provided updates and photos daily and accommodated every request. His prior high reviews were underscored by our experience and we had a carefree vacation thanks to his good care.

Took great care of our 14 year old pup. Sent daily updates and photos and was very good at communicating with me. Would recommend and would use again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
