Pet care experience

We are located in Alpine Village, Tujunga CA. Our home is secluded at the end of a very quiet street. Our property is well fenced with four separate areas a pool and inside the house to roam and play. We have 4 small to medium dogs of our own who are very good with other dogs and people. We can handle all situations that arise. We will keep your Four legged Family Member(s) safe, healthy and happy. We have close access to great walking areas for daily walks to work off pent up energy and to enjoy new smells and sounds . We will provide the same meal times and routines in accordance with your instructions IAW. Providing Medications IAW your instructions is included in our service. Special Bedding or Crate may be brought to ensure your dog has the best sleeping experience during the night. Special treats may be brought and given to you Four legged Family Member IAW your instructions. We are available 24 hours a day if the separation anxiety is unbearable and you need to hear your dogs friendly bark or panting or to say goodnight over the phone. Will email, or text pictures of your Four legged Family Member(s) everyday per your request. About this sitter: All pets are different, Some like being at home when your away on vacation, business and emergencies. I can be the go to care giver in any situation. Day or Night, Short notice or planed vacations. I can also sit in your home if that options is better for you and your four legged family member, both options are available. Why I love dog sitting My first Puppy followed me home from school when I was 7 over 50 years have gone by and loving and caring for my Four legged Family Member is a responsibility as great as having and caring for my children. It's been a life long relationship with all animals since then. I have always supported the Local animal shelters, fought against animal cruelty and volunteered at Los Angeles Animal Services adoption events. Meet my pets We have 3 dogs, all small and listed in order below Trixie (Rat Terrier Rescue) Duchess ( Half Jack Russell,Japanese Chin Mix) Dutchess (Mixed) All of our dogs are very friendly and have been well socialized with other dogs and people for a friendly positive experience for you and your dog. About my yard My Yard is completely fenced, We have a motorized drive way gate which leads to the Grass front yard, parking area, and front door. On the Right Side of the house is a 25' Walk way with Double gate separating the Front of the house from the pool. On the right is a 20x15 Deck with Wrought Iron fencing with narrowly spaced bars and wire to keep the Four legged Family Member(s) safe. The deck can be separated from the yard with a rolling wrought Iron gate as needed. The Pool area and yard are fenced and secured for the safety of your Four legged Family Member(s). We have Video Cameras watching the pool and the outside play areas 24 a day. My experience administering medication Yes, I have become very good at administering medication. There is always a way to get the Four legged Family Member to cooperate. I have learned over the years our Four legged Family Members will take their medicine without hesitation, if it's wrapped in a tasty treat, sprinkled on their food or with lots of peanut butter.

My regular dog sitter could not watch my boys (Vinny and Rocky) over Thanksgiving so I found Robert. One thing that struck me with Robert before I met him was the number of great reviews. Well, there is a reason for that. I met Robert ahead of time and he was professional and on the surface trustworthy. he also asked all the right questions. Those positive character traits and more proved true over the course of his stay. Robert was professional, on time, responsible, easy going (good thing as my boys are jumpers and shed like crazy) and most importantly trustworthy. It is hard entrusting the lives of your best friends, your home and all the valuables both monetary and sentimental to a relative stranger. Robert is your guy if you can book him.

Robert and Carla were spectacular! Our dogsitter plans for Christmas fell through right after Thanksgiving, and they graciously agreed to take care of our little black pug Jimi! Hi

Information Robert T. would like to know about your pet

Any health information, Feeding times, amount to feed, Behavior traits, What time of day they are walked, how long or how far they can walk. I like all breeds however I prefer med to small Four legged Family Members to care for, all of my Four legged Family Member are under 30lbs. Is their dog socialized? (dog park friendly) Does their dog "dart" or "bolt"? Meaning, if they see an open door or if they get surprised or startled, will they 'dart' or 'bolt'? Have they ever attacked or been attacked by another dog? If the dog has any problem with children? or the type of activity that occurs at parks?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We live next to the Angeles National Forest, We have a large Secluded community next to some nice hiking trails. The terrain is moderately steep in some places but flat and easy in others depending on the condition of your Four legged Family Member. One 20 min walk a day is included in our service, walks more frequent are available upon request. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have multiple doggy beds throughout the house 3 in the living room, two in the Den, Three in my work shop, plus they are allowed on the furniture in all the rooms. We also support Four legged Family Member(s) who are crate trained and enjoy the security of sleeping in their crate. Every effort is made to make your Four legged Family Member(s) feel safe and at home during their stay. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm Home all Day, my Four legged Family Members are always with me, and yours are welcome to follow me around,chill out by themselves or explore the house Or run outside in the grass and fresh air. Our Four legged Family Members are never far from our side. I'm sure your Four legged Family Member(s) will have the love and attention they have been accustomed too.
