Doggie "Grandma" For Hire.

Pet care experience

Doggie Grandma for a 6 year old Yorkie-Shih Tzu ready to provide cuddles and care in your absence. I am frequently called upon to support with the care of furry friends by family and neighbors. I am happy to bathe, feed, walk, and keep your fur-baby comforted in your absence.

Roberta is wonderful! She always does a great job and it's comforting to know I will come home to a happy dog!

Roberta is wonderful and I highly recommend her! She’s conscientious and dependable, left a detailed note and took pictures. I will use her again!

There is no one like Roberta! She has been a life-saver in helping to watch my dog. My dog is my family and I'm very protective of her. I'm very particular about who I let watch her, and Roberta's always the first person I call when I need a dog walker, sitter, or boarder. There's nothing bad to say about Roberta! Roberta is the most caring Doggie Grandma and is the only person I trust my dog with implicitly. My dog has severe separation anxiety and will also bark at anyone who comes near our house. Roberta is the only person outside of my family whom my dog is excited to see. Roberta sends pictures and updates throughout the day so I know that my dog is being well looked after and what she is doing. Roberta's place is very clean, welcoming, and feels like home. My dog loves sleeping on her couch, playing in the dog park near Roberta's place, and going for walks on the paths around Roberta's neighborhood. My dog likes getting into things that aren't for her, so I always appreciate that Roberta puppy-proofs before my dog comes over so that I don't have to worry about my dog getting into trouble. Knowing my dog is in good hands with Roberta when I'm away has been a huge weight off my shoulders and it's also made my dog so happy--to the point that my dog tries to go to Roberta's place even when we're not booked to see Roberta! There's no one I recommend more than Roberta.

I may be a little bit biased as her daughter but my mom, Roberta is the only person I trust with my sweet pup. The love and care she provides assures me that while he may miss me, he is being engaged, protected and snuggled. Roberta is keen on sending critical updates. Whether it is a strange looking BM that I should note or receiving cute pic of my 6 year old pupper, I feel very informed on my pup’s status when he is in her care. I was shocked to learn that Roberta is not just a grandma to my pup but to so many pups near by. She has extensive experience with small-medium dogs in her neighborhood as her neighbors have trusted her to care for their fur babies while they have been away. She’s a true dog lover and (without human grandchildren) has so much grandma love to give to your sweet pup.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment complex does allow dogs. I have 1 rather friendly cat who would not mind a visitor. My apartment has a HUGE, fenced and friendly dog park. I would insist on a leash around other dogs until your fur-baby felt confident in the dog park. Always on leash for walks - short or long. If your pup prefers to crate, I am happy to support keeping them peacefully crated to your specifications and direction.
