I enjoy all types of dog play

Pet care experience

For years I dogsat for my aunt's tennis-ball-loving Labrador retriever and affectionate flat-coated retriever, my friend's dutiful old English sheepdog and mischievous Polish lowland sheepdog, and my friend-of-a-friend's terrier. Now I've moved to an area where I know much fewer people, so I'm getting on Rover to expand my reach and start spending time with dogs again. On most days I have lots of excess energy, and I find it hard to say no when a dog wants to play, so you can expect your dog to have some entertainment when I watch him. (If for whatever reason your dog is restricted from exercise I can handle that too, though I always find it sad to see.) I also enjoy giving rubs, and people are always impressed at how much face-licking I can stand. I've had to deal with my share of unusual incidents during dogwalking (including once having to lift a strange dog up by the scruff of his neck because he was attacking the dogs I was walking), so I feel ready for just about everything in that regard.

Robert cared for my 2 sheepdogs for years. He is the absolute best dog sitter, he truly loved my dogs. He was so kind and gentle with them . took them on long walks, playing ball with them in the yard. They were always so happy to see him, getting very excited when he came to stay with them or sit with them. We were so sad when he moved away, we will never find anyone so special and caring for our dogs. We love when he stops in to visit when he is in town. You will not be disappointed with robert caring for your animals , he is the absolute best.

Dogs have an affinity for Robert. In a group of people, a dog will greet Robert first. He has a gentle demeanor that dogs are attracted to. He has experience walking dogs, and is able to handle tough situations as they arise. He is punctual and takes his responsibilities seriously. Robert will care for your dog as if he/she were his own.

I have known Robert for over 15 years, and, over those years I have watched him look over many dogs, including my golden retriever Beau. He is always attentive, loving, and always puts the animals needs before his own. Not trying to sound too sappy, but Robert has the feel of St. Francis of Assissi (hope i spelled that correctly) I would NEVER hesitate to employ Robert, and only wish he still lived on the cape. Feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

My favored walking route is through the park on Park Street, but I'm open to suggestions for new places to go. I'm always up for racing around the yard with those dogs who enjoy it, as well as fetch and tug-of-war.
