Retired canine officer/trainer
Pet care experience
I owned and operated a kennel in Florida and was a canine officer for the Collier County Sheriff's Department in Naples Florida. Retired and enjoy getting out by walking dogs. I currently have a ten year old Brittany Spaniel and live in Lone Tree. I live here with my wife of thirty years. I have experience in canine training (certified USPCA trainer) and handling at all levels to include obedience, search, tracking and aggression. I also lived in the Florida Keys for seven years and collected salt water tropical fish and maintained holding facilities. So besides dogs I have experience in tropical fish and aquariums. For hobbies I enjoy playing golf and during the summer going hiking and fishing in the mountains. We get away on vacations at least a couple times a year and like to go somewhere we can scuba dive.
Reviews
He is a wonderful sitter that we will miss when he moves to FL! The dogs were well taken care of while I was out of town. I received texts regularly to update me on how thing were and pics of the dogs.
Always amazing and consistent! Updates a lot which adds to the ease of it all. He genuinely cares for our dog, which is probably why our baby boy Tony loves him so much. Going to be consistent repeat utilizes of his services. Thanks, Robert!
Amazing! He was so fantastic with our little Tony and we will be consistently booking his services. He provides a lot of updates to bring ease to the whole pet sitting!
Robert is amazing. We are going through a hard time being on vacation and trying to sell our house. Robert stepped up and made this time so much easier for us. He even walked our baby longer than he was supposed to in order to help us out! He is the best and we are so thankful.

I have one older Brittany Spaniel who gets along with everyone. He is very gentle and calm. I do not sit aggressive dogs. My wife also helps me or keeps me company while I am watching the dogs. I limit how many dogs I watch or walk and will not leave alone for more that three hours or special time limits can be set up with client. I am very flexible.

Information ROBERT L. would like to know about your pet
All breeds and sizes are fine. I want to know from the owner if there are aggression tendencies towards people or dogs and if there is a running issue if the dog gets off leash. Any fears, likes or dislikes the dog might have and medical issues I would like to make note of. I would like specific instructions where and when I should take the dog to the vet for medical issues.
A typical day
Where I will walk the dog depends on the area and the owners preference. I prefer open spaces and park type areas when possible. I always have a ball and ball thrower handy if the dog likes to fetch. I depend on input from the own to know what the dogs likes. Some dogs like to play tug and not fetch. Some dogs just like to Chill.
