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.

Wow! What an incredible boarding situation Robert provides! He took care of my dogs, including one very senior guy and didn’t flinch at his list of needs. My dogs came home happy and healthy. Robert sent pics and updates daily. It was the first time in a long time I traveled and had zero worries. I’d give him SIX stars if it was an option! Thank you so much.

We felt like Piper was an old friend with Bob from the first visit. He kept us up to date with photos and a text on how she was doing before we even thought about asking each day. He also helped wrap her foot to keep her from licking a healing foot wound and made sure she got her pills. Bob was also flexible and fast to communicate a plan for changing pick up time when our flights were delayed without any problem. Great communication and great care! We will definitely reach out again when we need a dog sitter to Pipers new favorite friend Bob.

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.

These prices are for one dog. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
