Highlights
Pet care experience
Canine Listener
Offering above average dog vacation services and professional care. If desired, training is also available during your pups retreat. In most cases I do it while boarding with no extra charge. I enjoy assisting with canine/ human communication and can give you my take on any questionable behavior such as separation anxiety, leash pulling, and demand barking. All easy problems to solve. The key to success is consistency. There are no other pets at my place. Your dog will be the only booking unless noted that he/she prefers to be around other dogs and if there is a compatible companion. I look forward to meeting your pup, who deserves much more than a kennel while you're away! Note: Pick-up and drop-off in San Francisco area is available if needed. Though it is best to come here first for a meet and greet to your pup is not dropped off at an unfamiliar place.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We are very lucky to find Robert to take care of our 1 year old Australian Cattle Dog. Robert takes time to bond with our dog and takes him places to explore the world. He also sends photos of our dog. Robert is knowledgeable about dogs and is patient to train our dog. We will rebook Robert in the future and would recommend to anyone! Thank you for what you do!
Robert was great with Porter for an extended stay! You can tell he loves dogs, understands them and is super kind. Loved the daily photos too. Would definitely rebook.
Robert is such a nice, kind man. He was so good to my dog, who felt very comfortable with him. Koda got lots of attention and affection and it's obvious Robert knows a lot about dog behavior. Highly recommend!
Robert took great care of our dog Ranger while we were away for a long wedding weekend. Ranger had a blast and got lots of walks and attention while we were gone. Robert knows a lot about dogs and gave us some tips that we could keep working on with Ranger! We will definitely try to board with Robert again in the future!
Took great care of my dog, was very quick in communication, highly recommend.
Robert took wonderful care of our Harley! This was the longest we've been apart since we adopted her, so we were nervous. But she was spoiled with lots of adventures, constant companionship, and a pup-cup everyday! We can't thank Robert enough for keeping our girl safe, happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment
Double fenced in yard for dog playtime. Dogs get free roam of the house and are very rarely left alone for short periods of time.
A typical day
I have a good understanding of dog behavior. I can ensure your dog is very happy during their stay. I will always treat your dog like they are my own.
