Pet care experience

Hi,I'm Robert, a 55 yo pet lover.

I've taken care of dogs, cats and other pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and sit with their pupils, sometimes even for days.

Dotti has loved staying with Robert. She can be wary of meeting new people but she took to Robert immediately. He looked after her so well and he kept us up to date whilst she was in his care. He sent photos and videos of the walks thay had taken, she looked totally at ease and happy.

Our experience with Robert was very good, and I would book with him again. Lucy was happy, settled, and well cared for, and Robert sent us multiple videos to keep us updated. He was reliable, friendly, and welcoming.

Robert is a great sitter, he stays in regular contact which really put my mind at rest, Aussie was very happy whilst in his care, he received regular walks and treats and appeared to settle well. Robert understands Aussies needs well and meet them.

Robert is a great sitter. He kept in touch, sent lots of videos, took Aussie out for several walks and really went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and relaxed during his stay.

Our Bella spent a week with Robert whilst we were on holiday. Every day he sent us videos of them going for walks. The dog felt at ease, so we were able to enjoy our time off too

Safety, trust & environment

With 45 years of experience, especially with dogs, I provide calm, reliable, and loving pet care. Animals feel safe and comfortable with me because I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy what I do. I treat every pet like my own and make safety, trust, and happiness my top priorities.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. We will play a bunch of games, check out new smells around my neighbourhood, explore big park located almost next to my house, playing ground designed for dogs, a massive opened fields or go even to the nearby forest.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I should have special attention to. As for breeds, I don't have any special preferences, for me any dog or other sweet is just another potential friend who deserves my love and devotion.
