For the love of dogs <3

I’ve always grown up with animals in the home, a home isn’t a home unless you here the pitter patter of those paws of the floor. Dogs are at the heart of my being and unfortunately you can only have so many. But the best way I’ve found to experience the love of all kind of dogs are through the caring for of everyone else’s four legged friend. I’ve always watched and cared for others animals off and on as a side income and personal enjoyment; giving all the love and attention they need while their human is away. All the way back when I was in high school, many years ago, I discovered the love and care for others dogs when I worked for the groomers and it’s never stopped since. My sweet Winter departed in 2020 after 13 long and steady years by my side and while I haven’t yet been ready to give my full heart away I’ve found great healing, giving lots of love, walks, baths, ball games, and lots of snuggs, All welcomed with love.

Robert took such great care of our elderly pug ❤ I knew that he was in good, caring hands while I was away. Thank you Robert!

Robert was excellent! He clearly loves dogs. He cared for our two dogs with love. He sent pictures and videos to keep us connected to our fur babies. He is accommodating and great with communication.

Robert always watches my two dogs when I go out of town. They are always picked up very happy and well taken care of. He always updates if anything happens or just to say that they are doing great and having a good time

Robert is my neighbor and friend. Anytime I go out of town I always leave my two dogs with him and they always have such a good time. My boys love Robert as much as they do me. He takes them on long walks, gives them baths, gives them lots of snacks, and most importantly all the snuggles. He even administered a medication to one of my dogs last time I went out of town. He always goes over and beyond to make sure they get the best care possible.

Schedule

After 10 years working in the field of Art Education and Public Art Coordination I decided to take the leap and start my business, Swift & Dapper LLC. Life is never one size fit all and too short to accept anything less that extraordinary whether that’s personal style or grooming, spacial reconfiguration or custom built carpentry, curated interiors or stunning professional services you have specific needs and you deserve nothing less than what you need and then some. S&D is happy to offer paw-fessional pet services. With a home based operations that leaves plenty of time for swing by visits or stay-cations for your special friend. They’ll have all the attention they need and anything else to ensure a happy and paw-sitive care.

Safety, trust & environment

Our four legged friends should always be at home and feel comfortable. Fresh running water, soft comfy rugs and beds, and lots of fluffy blankets for those that like to snuggle up on the sofa for a movie. Our backyard is large and fenced in, ready for fetch and play time. We are used to having little furry ones (especially our neighbor’s little ones) wandering around and keep it in the front of mind always. Instructions for specific care are much appreciated and followed to the ledger.

A typical day

Open to your dogs routine and love an adventure. If there are certain activities your furry friend enjoys please feel free to describe. Open to trails, parks, or even a favorite neighborhood for walks. Even if they want to shadow at our feet all day that’s fine too!
