Pet care experience

My Boys & myself love dogs

My sons Zach (26), Michael (22) and I have 15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs. After taking a break we want to board again since my boys are back from college and are living at home. I am recently retired and will be home all day with your precious one. We come from a very experienced family of dog lovers. My families love of dogs has spread to not just myself, but also my kids. My sons and myself always babysit for neighbors dogs. We prefer it that way than have a permanent dog. We give all our dogs great attention and free range of our home and back yard to make it feel part of our family. We babysit for one dog at a time when it is overnight. That way we can focus on his or her needs. We allow the dog free range of our home so it can feel like he or she is part of our family. We will be very loving and devoted to your pet. References are available upon your request. We have plenty of room for them to roam, including a yard for them to get fresh air, and relieve themselves between walks. We enjoy taking our dog for long walks on the C&O canal for exercise. Dogs that stay with us get up to three to four walks a day. In between those times, we lay our beds and blankets for them to rest their paws. Please feel free to book a Meet-n-Greet so that you can see how pampered your pup will be. We hope we are given the opportunity to take care of your pet in our loving home.

Robin and Zack were great!! They were communicative, easy to work with, and in all the updates we received our dog looked very comfortable and right at home with them. It seemed like they stuck to her normal routine very well. I think our dog had a great time!!

Robin and her son did a great job watching our dog Mia! They provided updates/pictures, were very easy to communicate with, and most importantly did a great job taking care of our dog!

Robin took great care of Charley. He usually takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, but with Robin and her son Zach he was immediately comfortable and his friendly self, for which I was grateful. Robin was communicative throughout Charley’s stay, sharing photos and videos periodically. I’d leave Charley with Robin again without hesitation.

Charlie was in such good hands with Robin. She was very communicative, and we appreciated the pictures that were sent to us while we were on our trip. Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!

We had a great experience with Robin and her adult kids watching our Labradoodle and Boston Terrier. Robin’s attention to details and responsive communication put me at ease in leaving our older dogs with a new person. Loved getting pictures and seeing that they were settled. We will definitely engage Robin again to care for our pups.

Schedule

Pet care fits great into my daily routine, I am home during week days and both of my boys love taking our dogs on long walks in the mornings and evenings. We love to take our dog we are caring for on long walks by the canal which we consider our back yard.

We take amazing care of our pets in our home! No matter the dog we take care over, we will treat him or her just as if they are part of the family!

A typical day

We love taking dogs to our local park that is just a 10 minute walk away with tons of space to play with tennis balls or cool sticks! If he or she just needs a calming walk to get some fresh air or go potty, we love those too! Anything that gets us out of the house.
