Pet care by Robert

Pet care experience

**I don't know why it says smoking household. I absolutely don't smoke nor is there smoking in the house. I can't seem to change the status here. My name is Robert Melton. I have a miniature schnauzer named Jack who is almost 9 months old. I had another mini schnauzer named Jager that passed last year at 15 years old. In addition to my dog, my family has always had pets. We have had dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, and even skunks! I began working at a vet clinic in 2009 and continued to do so until 2017. With many years of experience under my belt, I feel confident that I would be a great to care for your pet. Because of my involvement at the vet clinic, I have had multiple opportunities to pet sit for people. My past experiences include dog sitting a police department's canine as well as my friend's bearded dragon, among others' dogs and cats. I enjoy playing with the animals, whether that is with their toys such as tennis balls or stuffed animals, or playing with them outside by throwing a frisbee. I would love to include my dog in walks and visits with your pets to help socialize him and let him play with others - he loves over dogs

Information Robert M. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s important to know what dog needs and what an owner expects from a person caring for their pet. It would be important to know if medications are needed or what particular quirks a particular pet might need.

A typical day

I love going on walks, playing at the park, and socializing them with other people and dogs. Fetch is always fun but I always read the dog and do what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playing or just getting pets.

I’m primarily available Friday evenings, Saturday, Sunday, and Mondays. I work in Santa Fe Tuesday-Friday so not much flexibility until the weekends. If I watch your pet in my apartment, there are plenty of opportunities for walks and playing. We have a dog park at this complex so lots of playtime. I do have a dog door and patio potty area for my puppy.
