I am recently retired (at a young age) and currently have an open schedule while I work from home on writing projects. Hoping to get in some steps and my dog fix at the same time as I ponder getting my own pup.

Robert has been fantastic! He takes great care of Sammie, and takes him on lots of walks. I get several pictures and updates with each visit, which is so appreciated. He’s also very flexible whenever possible and a great communicator. Would highly recommend!

Robert was fantastic! He was attentive with Franky and sent me pictures. He kept me updated and went above and beyond with feeding and walks. I really appreciated him taking great care of my pup!

Robert was amazing watching my dog for the day. He took her on a long walk and she instantly was comfortable with him. He was also flexible when I was a little later to pick her up than expected - thank you Robert!
