Life-long Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

I am doing some daycare and hosting again, as of May 2023. However, I am only able to take hypo-allergenic dogs at this time. I am always available to dog-sit in your home. Also, I can walk your dog locally (Westchester, Cermak and Wolf area). I am also available to check-in on your dog locally, 7 days a week. I have been on Rover for five years now. Many years of dog-sitting and hosting experience before that. I also like to walk dogs. I have been a member of a dog training club, and my own dogs earned their "Good Citizen" awards. I will work on some basic commands if you would like. I will treat your dog like my own. I respect your style of discipline and will follow your directions exactly.

We were very pleased with Robert. Chooch liked him from the beginning when we first met him. When we brought Chooch for the stay, he just went right to him. Robert sent us pictures every day of Chooch so we saw that he was happy. I would recommend him for a sitter. I was very relaxed on vacation knowing that Chooch was well taken care of.

Robert is a total pro. We really loved having Murphy stay with him. Such a relief to be able to go away and know that he is in great hands. Robert is very detail oriented and committed to making sure Murphy was comfortable. He is a great communicator who enjoyed spending time with our dog and made the whole experience extremely easy and pleasant.

Robert is experienced, communicative, responsible, and all-in-all such a friendly and trustworthy person. He responded to all questions and inquiries promptly, invited us over for a meet and greet, and showed where our pup would be staying and playing while we were away. He asked questions about our training style, how Odin eats, plays, and sleeps, and told us about the neighborhood and his schedule. While away, Robert provided us with daily updates and photos so we had zero concerns and could thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was safe and cared for. He even reinforced leash politeness and basic commands. Thank you for being a great guardian Robert! See you again soon!

Our dog Olaf clearly enjoyed his vacation with Robert! I received a picture update every day, and Olaf got plenty of love and walks. Robert's yard is fenced in a good neighborhood, and it was clear he loves looking after dogs. We will definitely book with him again. Thank you Robert!!

Even at home, dogs need supervision. An eye is always out for them. I will go out with your dog into your fenced yard, or walk them. If I am hosting your dog, I go out into my fenced yard with them.
