Most of my favorite people are dogs

Pet care experience

I am into my 15th year of absolutely loving taking care of dogs. From rambunctious 8 week old puppies to 18 year old super seniors; barely a pound teacup maltipoos to 200 lb mastiffs, I have walked them all. I know how to keep your dog safe and help them have a ball. Wheel dogs, dogs fighting cancer, dogs with seizure conditions, I have walked them all. Lap dogs, sweet dogs, jazzed dogs, mellow dogs, mischievous dogs, shy dogs, dogs that are ALMOST smart enough to do your taxes, I have walked them all! I have met and gotten to know amazing people through dogs. I have been there to help these friends when a puppy that was chewing anything and everything. I have been there when family emergencies mean that nobody can come home to take out the dog. I have been able to share goofy pictures of my furry friends to brighten the day of their pet parents. I have been there to grieve with my clients when they lose their best friend. Over 50,000 walks in and I feel lucky. I know what I am doing and I love my job. I am glad to be known as #bobwalksdogs to a whole lot of good people and a whole lot of great dogs.

Robert was great! Responded to my request very quickly and sent me updates when he arrived and throughout the walk. Fluff was happy when I arrived home later that night.

I told Robert there would be energy and play, and I loved how he responded. ("I charged my phone with Archer, and it's now at 46,000%.) Robert was very communicative on arrival, asked to be clear of responsibilities, and sent regular updates. 13/10 would book again.

Bob is the best! Honestly, tears were shed the day he left Brooklyn for Chicago. He was and remains a member of our family. You could not ask for a better person to care for your animals. He really cares about your pets and is so good with them. I can't recommend him enough.

We cannot say enough good things about Bob. He was our dog walker for over 10 years and became like family. He did daily walks and would stay at our place with our dog whenever we were away. And he always handled our dog's special needs with love and we could trust him to always do what was in her best interest. When she had a bad leg he carried her up and down stairs and when she got older and needed medicine he took care of her. He is the best. We love him and would trust him in any situation.
