Dogs love me!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog in the house my whole life. I had a nomadic career in my twenties, but when I came home I always had free time to dog-sit for my brothers and parents. Two of these dogs were easy, a Golden Retriever and a Yellow Lab. But the other is a Black Lab/German Shepard mix who is 110 lbs of non-stop energy and barks. I have been helping to take care of him ever since he was only an adorable 4 weeks old! I especially love bigger dog breeds, but have never gotten to know a dog and not fallen in love! I would love a dog of my own, but my nomadic lifestyle will not allow it. Please, let me take care of your lovely pet while I am home!

We really appreciate the care that Bobby took with our anxious dog. He made an extra visit beforehand to get to know him and sent pictures to show us how relaxed everything was at home. Thank you!

Bobby is great with our almost 11 year old Golden Retriever, Gage. He's taken care of him in our home multiple times, from a quick day trip to a multiple day getaway. love having the piece of mind to enjoy a vacation and know that Gage is going to be well taken care of. Gage LOVES when he gets to see Bobby, which I've noticed seems to be a common thing when Bobby is around any dog. I highly recommend Bobby to take care of your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently a graduate student living in a dog-friendly apartment. I can handle a pet or 2 at my place, but also like to get outside and take advantage of what Boulder has to offer. If your dog is a hiker, then I will take it on whatever level of hikes it can handle! I also love taking dogs to the dog parks of Boulder, so please warn me if they are not good with other dogs.

Information Robert W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what activity level your dog needs. If your dog is bad at socializing with other dogs, please warn me! And I obviously expect to be told of any medications I need to administer.

A typical day

I especially love a good hiking dog, as it is a chance for both of us to get some good exercise in. The Flatirons are great for that! I also like to go to the dog park once per day to allow a dog to run off leash and play with other dogs.
