Pet care experience

Private dog care, no other pets.

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 very knowledgeable and comfortable with my big dog. He took him for multiple walks and took great care. He sent updates with pictures and was great with communication.

Leaving Otto for two weeks was a big deal for us, but Robert set our minds at ease with frequent photos and updates. Otto was a happy boy when we picked him up, and it was obvious he had a great time with Robert. I would recommend Robert 100% and won't hesitate to book him again.

Absolutely incredible! Our sensitive dog actually comes back more relaxed than when we dropped her off!

Schedule

I am retired and have lots of time for your dog. We can start out with breakfast then a nice long walk. I have a fully fenced in backyard where we can hang out or sit inside and watch tv. Multiple walks if your dog is up for that. Then dinner hang out and bed time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a single family home which has a large fully fenced in yard. I am flexible on walks, crates and bedtime. 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.

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.

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.
