Introduction: I believe that my work stands out from most other dog walkers and pet sitters because I take the time to actually give the animal the attention that is needed. I feel as though a lot of people in this business are just in it for the money and just come and do the job and go. I feel that it is very important to become acquainted with animal and allow it to know that it is safe in your presence. What I like most about my job is that I get to spend a lot of time with animals. I have always been an animal lover and I am willing to help others take care of their animal friends.

I was about to leave for a long weekend on business and while I was rushing to get everything together I forgot that I needed to get someone to take care of my dog Chip and my cat Lilly. Being last minute called several dog sitting agencies, but most could not accept the job do to other jobs that they had already scheduled for that weekend. Then while I was at my hairdresser's I saw a business card for Robert and I contacted him right away. He graciously accepted the job and gave me a more than fair quote. While I was away he sent me photos and videos of my little darlings. He even brought in all of my mail and the newspapers while I was gone. The next time I go away for any extended amount of time I know who I will be calling to watch over my loved ones. -Jamie G.

Rob walks my dog Butkus everyday around noon. Before using him Butkus was having accidents in the house while I was away for work during the day. Rob offered me a fair weekly price compared to most dog walking services and has saved my floors!

Thanks for the review Ryan; I greatly appreciate it! I love visiting and walking Butkus!

Robert called me back right away. He was very reasonably priced. Robert set my mind at ease by texting me when he got there, taking a picture and sending it to me of my dogs walking and told me how things went as soon as he was done. I was at my father-in-laws funeral that day and he helped me to stay stress free about my dogs. I will definitely use him again.!

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Services and Fees We offer a wide range of flexible pet sitting and dog walking services and can customize a package to suit your specific needs! DAILY DOG WALKS $15/visit (includes up to 2 dogs) JOGS/RUNS - $20/visit (includes up to 2 dogs) OVERNIGHT VISITS $45/overnight (includes up to 2 pets) POTTY BREAKS $12/visit EXTENDED VISITS $20/visit (includes up to 2 dogs) If you work long hours and sometimes you come home to an accident, or you spend all day feeling guilty because your dog looked so sad watching you from the window as you backed out of the driveway! A mid day dog walk or potty break just might be the answer. Dog walks/jogs/runs are 30 minutes and include a period of playtime. Extended visits are 1 hour. Our potty breaks are 15-20 mins. As an an alternative to kennel stays, I will come into your home and spend the night with your pets if requested. I can stay overnight and will take care of all your pet(s) needs (walks, food, medicine, playtime) as well as any minimal household needs (mail/newspaper pickup, watering plants, etc). $10 for each additional pet. CAT VISITS $15/visit Cat visits include feeding, litter box cleaning and playtime. Cat care can be added to the daily dog walk if needed for an additional $5/per visit. Cats are included in the total pet count for the overnight visits.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Currently I have certifications in Animal Care, Sitting and Training, and Pet Psychology. I am about to begin a class in Pet Grooming, Pet Nutrition, and Advanced Pet Training.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I knew that I always wanted to have my own business one day, and when I began working for a dog walking agency, I decided this is the type of business I want to own. In the future I would like to open a retail location that offers services in grooming, massage, training, boarding, etc.
