Reliable - EXCELLENT with Dogs
Pet care experience
I have loved and had dogs since I was a small boy. I was married to a veterinarian for many years. We always had several pets and often fostered wounded dogs. I am excellent with all animals particularly dogs. Even shy or aggressive dogs respond well to me. They just seem to sense a positive ' vibe' that I have. I am semi retired, in excellent physical condition, reliable, personable and honest. My own pets have lived to remarkable happy, old ages. I have cared for many dogs with chronic conditions (such as diabetes, and renal dysfunction). I have experience administering medications, oral and injectables. Over the years my friends always notice how quickly I develop a warm relationship with their dogs. I have experience taking care of friends dogs at home (when I had a large yard) and made the dogs feel welcome and happy. I have an intuitive sense in 'reading' a dog's behavior that helps me know best how to treat them. I have endless patience with animals and never get frustrated. Why I love dog sitting I got my first Beagle when I was 2 1/2. My earliest memory. I have had dogs and cats most of my life. My experience administering medication Absolutely. Quite a bit a experience with this.
Reviews
Robert was great with our dogs and our house! He was very attentive towards them and took good care of our place while we were away. Loved the pictures he sent too!
Robert was very professional. Dogs loved him. We'd use him again.
Robert looked after our 3 dogs and 1 cat for 2 weeks while we were away on a holiday cruise. The communication, pictures, professionalism was top notch. Being out of the country, it was a great comfort knowing our 4 legged children were having a good time, getting a lot of attention, and their daily routine continued, regardless of us not being home, thanks to Robert doing an excellent job. Robert has become my 4 animals and my family's first choice to contact when traveling, we feel so fortunate to have found him.
All the pets and humans were very happy with our new friend Robert. We will most definitely book him again.
