Best Price! Best Love! Free Photos!

I accidentally went into the dog sitting business by helping out a person from the dog park who didn't have anyone to watch her Giant Schnauzer. I took care of him for 8 days. He did not want to go with her when she picked him up. Haha. That's how much of a good time he had. That was going to be the end of me dog sitting,but this lady spread the word and before I knew it, I became the go-to guy for everyone! I watched all kinds of dogs. From Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I watched problem dogs, senior dogs, puppies and anything in between. My place is a dog house! No restrictions for furniture, bed use, unless rules need to be applied as requested by the dogs owners. My yard is approx 1/2acre and fenced. I have a full size Truck to take any size doggie to walking and hiking areas. I accept short notice assignments either at my place or your home. My prices on here are negotiable, based on the doggie and/time you need help with. I don't know how to groom (unless brushing counts as grooming??😉),but will love to give baths. This is a single person household and there are no other doggies in the house. I just lost my beloved Great Dane Grace after 12 years, so all my love and affection will go toward your doggie! You will get daily updates most likely accompanied by professional looking photos of your doggie or cat. (I do pet photography on the side)

Rob was the best of the best! I am so grateful of him and the way he took care of Rocky! I received marvelous pictures every day! and of course updates all the time, made us feel so calm. He really spent time with him, he watched and took care of his injuries and had fun going to tons of places with nature. I truly recommend him!

Far exceeded all of our expectations. Our dog, and we by default, had a wonderful experience for the 2 weeks we were gone.

Robert was an AMAZING dog sitter. The best we’ve ever had! We have a Great Dane, which is a bit more complicated breed of dog to care for - but right from the start, Rob made us feel comfortable and he was already so knowledgeable in this breed so we really had nothing to worry about. He sent several photos (even several professional ones he personally took!) of our dog throughout the stay which put us at ease. He went above and beyond to make it a fun experience for Ozzie and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will 1000% be reaching out to Rob again for another stay soon! Thanks again Rob!

Schedule

I retired early and am available to stay with your doggie 24/7. I am an avid photographer and rather take your doggie with me on walks/hikes (depending on your doggies activity level/age etc.) than just letting them out in the yard. I know oodles of safe walking/hiking areas and will pick the ones that match your doggies desires.

Safety, trust & environment

We will discuss details for your doggie upon you meeting me personally. I'm German and super nice! Dogs just love me. Always have. Maybe I smell like cookies. Haha. Who knows.

A typical day

Your dog or cat becomes my dog or cat during the stay! We go places together. Unless I have to go groceries shopping for a few minutes on occasion, your pet will never be home alone. I am a semi-professional pet photographer and will take your dog with me on meandering hikes in the canyons and parks.

I take care of all sizes of pets. I had Great Danes and West Highland Terriers and kitties all my life. But I have watched snakes, iguanas and a tarantula as well. On my little ranch in Arizona I had 5 horses, so if you need me to take care of your horses, I can do that as well.
