Pet care experience
I am a regular Rover Walker and have been using the app for 5 years now - I have a few consistent clients who couldn't be more happy that I look after their pups. Feel free to reach out for a meeting and we can discuss a regular schedule for your dog and make sure it works for you! Have owned dogs for my entire life; small dogs to big dogs. Volunteered at a local K9 rescue as a dog walker; aware of dog allergies and have taken care of nervous/anxious dogs. Am willing to drive your dogs to local trails for walks if preferred. I am an avid camper/outdoorsman who loves to hike and go on long walks so am not afraid to take on longer routes especially for larger sized dogs. I love to play with dogs and have had experience dog sitting for friends and family; am willing to go out of my way to make your woofer a happy dog! I'm self employed, so my schedule can regularly accomodate dog walks or dog sitting - I'll always work with you to make sure your pup is taken care of! Having grown up with dogs my whole life, establishing trust is very important. Reinforcing good behaviour with treats, calling them by name and actively using the owners training techniques while looking after their dog is all important to me! As a precaution, I don't walk with other dogs or meet with other dogs while walking in the neighborhood to avoid any sort of altercations.
Reviews
Must admit that we were a little edgy about leaving our pets for a week while on vacation, especially with strangers! However, after meeting with Rob and Emy we were put a lil more at ease. They were very caring and compassionate and followed instructions. While away, they updated us with pictures and information on what they did each visit. After receiving our first update, we knew we made the right decision. Our fur babies loved being visited by them and we highly recommend Rob & Emy! Thanks again! :)
How wonderful to meet Robert and for him and my GSD Charlie to connect. As an active dog and Covid puppy, I ne er like to leave him alone when I’m away for more than a few hours. Robert was able to stop by and look after feeding Charlie dinner, a romp in the backyard for pee/poo and then for a longer walk. The photos I received are amazing, especially knowing how rarely Charlie stays still. Thank you!!!
Robert was very punctual and reliable. Helped me out tremendously on short notice. Thanks again!!
This is the first time I have left my 4 cats alone overnight, Rob and his fiancé were the most kind, caring and compassionate folks I could have ever wished to have come to my home and care take my sweet babies. I will most definitely be booking with them again in the future. I highly recommend them for your needs. They truly love and appreciate your fur children. They went above and beyond any expectations I had. I am truly grateful.

I take the advice of the client and try to keep the dogs routine as per your requests! If you prefer your dog have time in the yard, with a partial walk - that's up to you! Dogs can be very temperature sensitive, so sometimes walks may need to be adjusted with indoor play time so they remain comfortable.
Information Robert K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs I need to take care of while looking after them. Make sure to provide a bag of treats, a leash and anything else needed to make your dog happy on their walk or for check in visits. If your dog requires short walks or longer walks, we can talk about a discount depending on the time you'd like. My dogs have had allergy issues so I understand the extra care they may need and will follow your direction. I am willing to walk any size dog.
A typical day
I'll walk your dog around the local neighbourhood that they are familiar with, but if you'd like your dog to go for walks in the park or trails nearby - just let me know and I am willing to drive them out there. I'll always keep your dog on leash, and will reward good behaviour! I've had a good amount of experience walking shelter dogs and am comfortable walking dogs that are not mine. Arrange a meeting with me and we can go on a small walk to make you more comfortable and you'll trust that I'll take care of your pup while you're away!
