Rob - Southbay Dog Sitting

Pet care experience

I'm a 33 year old, former High School English Teacher, and current LA County Lifeguard. I've always had an affinity for dogs. While growing up I raised a Dachshund, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Chocolate Lab. Unfortunately due to my work schedule it isn't feasible to own a dog of my own, however, on my days off I've been enjoying walking, and looking after dogs for friends. I currently have 2 consistent clients, and am looking to expand. I'm great with high energy dogs, training, and separation anxiety. A typical day with me starts with a 30min morning walk/run, followed by a training session and breakfast, mid-day we go to the El Segundo Dog Park for an hour or more depending if there are other playful dogs, and in the evening, a leisurely 30min walk, followed by a training session and dinner. I try to take dogs any where I go, and usually never leave a dog alone for more than 2 hours. I am only available to watch dogs at your home. I am very respectful of your space, and will also help with any cleaning you might need around the house. I will give your dog a complimentary bath for stays of 3 nights or more, or upon request for an additional $20.

Rob was a fantastic dog and house sitter for us. He sent daily updates plus photos and videos and seemed to really enjoy his time taking care of our dog Otto. He ensure Otto got plenty of exercise, including taking him running. Rob was super easy to make arrangements with and an exceptionally clean and respectful house guest. He came over before confirming the reservation to meet Otto and make sure it was a good fit. He was very friendly and made us feel assured that Otto was in great, great hands.

Rob is an absolutely incredible dog walker and sitter. My dog, Mason, is a rescue and is incredibly scared of people in general, especially men. Rob has literally become one of his favorite people in the entire world and it didn't take long for Mason to warm up to him. It's clear that Rob has been around all different types of dogs his entire life and is extremely comfortable with them. He also taught Mason multiple tricks - just for fun. Mason probably gets more play time and exercise when Rob watches him than when I'm home, because Rob is constantly taking him on walks and to the dog park. I would HIGHLY recommend Rob to anyone who is looking for a dog walker/sitter who is dependable and who will truly care about your animal.

Rob's fantastic!! He has house sat for me multiple times & cleaned the house while he was there. He also voluntarily took my dog to get washed. :) I can't say enough about Rob! He is completely trustworthy & has even helped me with my most important family member - my son. He is actively involved while he is working - going for walks, dog park, playing fetch, etc (and Nerf gun battles with my son). I also love that he is flexible & willing to be there for us in a pinch. Five stars :)
