About Rob

Hello, my name is Rob, I'm 53 and a very recent former policeman living in Bayside. Your furry best friend is in the safest hands. 

I'm an experienced and compassionate dog lover with plenty of free time now to offer trustworthy and reliable pet services. 

I'm also highly experienced in emergency situations and am very proud to have saved the lives of several dogs during my policing career. 

I offer dog walking for as long as you need, home visits, and day care in your home or mine.

I'll keep you updated while your pup is with me and follow any special instructions or routines to make sure they feel right at home in your house or mine. They will always sleep inside in comfort and welcome to choose their favourite spot. 

Having been lifelong pet owners, my partner (working from home) and I currently don't have any permanent animals in our home since our sweet Dusty passed in January, allowing us to give your special friend our undivided attention. If your pooch experiences separation anxiety, you can rest easy knowing they will never be left alone while under my care. 

We have been the go-to dog sitters for our friends and family and our ground floor home offers a secure fully high-fenced backyard, is clean and quiet (perfect for the senior doggies), child-free, and conveniently close to Hampton dog beach and off leash parks. We would prefer small to medium dogs to stay only because we have a smaller home but we love all dogs.

You'll receive regular updates and I'll stick to any special instructions or routines to make sure your pup feels relaxed and happy.

I also specialise in administering medication, ensuring your pet's health and safety having done this reliably for many years and have never missed a dose. 

I'm very handy at grooming also. 

Do you have a special feline? I LOVE cats too. I had my beautiful girl Maxi with me for 19 years. 

Another passion of mine is animal photography, so you can look forward to receiving plenty of fun snapshots for your album. 

I know how tough it can be to leave your special ones behind, and I have very high standards when it comes to entrusting someone to do my job as well as I do. I'm happy to chat or meet with you first to ensure you feel completely confident and comfortable before you go on your holiday. 

I hope I get the chance to meet and care for your furry kids!
