Pet care experience

Dogs make us better people.

I've had a dog in my life for the major majority of it. I've had 2 Shitzus, a German Shephard and an Akita. Quite the range. I traveled across the country with an Akita and that was such a great experience. I am very patient by nature and will care for you furry friend and give them all my attention and love. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. There are 3, sometimes 4 days a week where I’d be away for 6-7 hours. I like to be as transparent on everything. I’m not concerned about the dog having an accident in the house, it’s more of making sure they won’t be overly stressed out or anxious at that amount of time. I have a very secure fenced in yard that your pet will enjoy. There is a park directly across the street as well and I will also walk your dog around the Elmhurst neighborhood. I have a modest sized home with hardwood floors. Your pup is allowed on the furniture if its ok with you. A tired dog is a happy dog and I plan to play with your dog inside and outside the home.

Robert was very nice and so accommodating. Although on my part I should have done better he was very so polite to me. Brooklyn loved it and she seemed happier than when I left which is all a dog owner can ask for. Thank you again will be booking in the future

We had a great experience with Robert. He did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He provided status and photos during the stay which made us, as first time users of the service, very comfortable. I would recommend his services and use him again if we are in need of sitting.
