Professional Dog and House Sitting

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Roberto, and have been around dogs all my life since I was born (especially larger breeds.) I had a dog sitting/walking business for 4 years with various clients in NY/PR/MIA. (ask me about it!) But I've taking care of my family and friends pets since I was a teen. You could even say that's how my business started. Friends needed to travel and they left me apt/dog sitting knowing that their pet [and house] will be in good hands. Word got around and clients started calling. My greatest hiring strengths are: -Experience, experience, experience… From larger and energetic breeds to older dogs in need of special care and medicine administration. -You'll receive daily texts, videos and pics confirming everything is great. -Very flexible availability that can fit your vacation days and sudden schedule changes. -Trustworthy and honest. Your house will be exactly as you left it. No surprises. -Can treat a wound, handle pet emergencies, give medicine and do dog CPR. ^^^Important^^^ I offer discounts and/or add rate adjustments. Some dogs require more walking-leash time; others get all the backyard time they need to tire them out; some just chill and play inside the house most of the time. I completely understand that every dog's needs are different, and will discuss with you any possible rate adjustment before hiring my services. The goal is always the highest standard of care for your pet, open-honest communication and meeting your expectations. I closed my other business for the following reasons: - Handful of regular clients were booking almost all my time, didn't have any availability for new ones. - When the pandemic hit and lockdown started, I decided to move and finally settle in Columbus.

Home was exactly as we left it, dog poo was picked up in the yard, litter boxes were clean and animals were happy! Not to mention, Roberto also kept my potted flowers alive!

There’s not enough time in the day to speak on how wonderful Roberto is! We left our girls with him in our home for two weeks and he was just FANTASTIC. Cleanly, communicative, and kind! Thank you SO MUCH Roberto!

Roberto took great care of our 2 senior beagles over a long weekend, and very patiently accommodated their quirky needs as well as my quirky needs as an anxious dog parent. He sent daily updates and videos that were much appreciated, and was very conscientious about house details as well. Thank you, Roberto!

Roberto was 100% professional in all ways before and during our housesitting experience. Our two Whippets bonded quickly and enjoyed their time with him.

Information Roberto B. would like to know about your pet

Please just let me know everything you need to give you peace of mind when leaving your dog with me. I will follow your instructions to the tee because I know how special your four-legged family is. No request is too weird or specific. Your house will be exactly as you left it, guaranteed.

A typical day

I ALWAYS follow the owner's instructions. If asked to go to a safe and fenced dog park, I will go. If asked to go around the block and back, I will go. If asked to stay and exercise the dog inside the house yard, I will go. My past work experience includes swimming in the pool with Vizslas to tire them out, going to the beach every morning for dog walks, running with a pit-mix to train him and multiple mile-long walks every day with an English Sheepdog. This is a normal day in my life, hahahaha.

My schedule is very flexible and I'm more than willing to stay in your residence most of the time to take care of your pet, and keep it company (no leaving your pet alone for long periods of time). 100% guarantee that I'll sleep at your house every single night.
