Information Roberta L. would like to know about your pet

Please advise if your dog has any chewing behaviors, leash aggression, or is uncomfortable near children or other dogs (on walks or at a park). I would also like to know if your dog is completely potty trained or has any atypical behaviors. If your pets get on furniture please let me know so that I may cover it with dog-friendly throws.

A typical day

I like to take dogs for walks and play fetch or ball. If desired, we can work on training or simply cuddle for some love.

Pawsitively Love Pets

Pet care experience

I have been a lifelong pet owner of many furry companions including 7 cats, 8 golden retrievers, 2 cocker spaniels, a terrier mix, and 2 rabbits. I devoted over 5 years in rescue as a foster of over 20 dogs, focusing primarily on care-giving for senior, special needs, and behavioral dog situations. I volunteered for ten years at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah working with dogs, cats, and rabbits. I have also done vacation relief at a 24-hour boarding facility caring for up to 15 dogs. Additionally, I have participated in several dog training and socializing programs. I spent many years as a pet photographer and am currently a co-owner in a dog treat-baking company. Having recently retired from a full-time professional career as the Executive Director of Arizona Highways PhotoScapes, I have ample time to give your furry friend(s) the love, attention, and care while you are away.

Roberta took excellent care of our German Shepherd! She was responsive and provided frequent updates, and made sure our boy was very happy.

Our first time using Rover. Roberta was highly responsive throughout the booking process and accommodated a quick meet and great prior to us boarding our five-month-old puppy. Her home is beautiful and clean, and the back yard offers a secure outdoor space. She sent frequent photo updates of fun activities she engaged in with our little guy. Roberta also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, thanks again! Her love and genuine care for animals are evident in her bio, and I would highly recommend her services. Will definitely be a returning customer.

Roberta was so wonderful with my mini puppy Louie. We needed coverage the night before and she was very communicative, flexible and easy to work with. She has a long history caring for animals and immediately made Louie comfortable and happy. She was a pleasure to work with and I would rebook Roberta if we were ever back in town!
