Hi, I'm Rob from Robbie's Doggies, I started up the business as I have a real passion for animals and working with them is what gets me out of bed in the morning! I mainly provide solo, same household walks and house-sitting services. In my spare time I also volunteer to walk dogs at the Forest Dog Rescue in Far Forest.

We have known Rob for over a year now and he has walked our dogs on a weekly basis, done emergency or last minute requests and dog sat for us. Rob treats our dogs as his own despite them not being the easiest (behavioural issues, dog reactivity and medication/health requirements to name a few) but we trust him 100%. He always goes above and beyond for us. He has also adapted to our training requirements and dog sat mid renovation too! He has also given us the freedom and peace of mind that we have someone we can rely on that isn’t immediate family and even the ability to go on holidays now too! Thank you Rob! More...

Been using Rob since January this year. We have a Hungarian Vizsla & those that know the breed, understand how clingy they are to their owners ! ! After a meet & greet & only a couple of walks together, Loki was happy to leave home without me. Loki now knows his ‘walk with Rob’ days & is super excited as soon as he sees him at our door ! Loki has some issues with certain breeds & Rob is fully aware & in total control of Loki on every walk which gives me total peace of mind. I cannot recommend Rob enough, he’s been a godsend to us & anyone would be lucky to have him look after their furbabies - thank you Rob xx More...

Rob takes our Akira on walks once a week and has also dog sat a couple times. He's been very patient with her, putting up with her initial barking as she slow to warm to strangers but now they're best friends and he gets butt wiggles whenever he walks through the door. Can't recommend enough.

Rob has been walking Max our Wire Fox Terrier regularly over the past couple of months and has been absolute pleasure to deal with. He took the time to get to know Max on his very first visit, gives us feedback on every walk and is very accommodating. On top of all that Rob is incredibly friendly, trustworthy and has a wonderful relationship with Max who bounces with joy when Rob arrives. Rob's visit and walk is the highlight of Max's week. Highly recommended. More...

We have used Robbie's Doggies for a pet sitting service whilst we went away for a few nights and have had Rob take Chester out on walks. Our Chester is a crazy spaniel and Rob is so patient with him and understands the breed. Chester loves him! We also get pictures when he's out and about 😊 When staying at our house, Rob treated it as his own and was very respectful. He did a thorough meet and greet as well to gain an understanding of Chester's routine and what he's like as well as the necessary care information needed. I felt confident to leave Chester in his care. Would recommend Rob and his services. More...

What can I say about Rob? He was absolutely brilliant looking after my 8 year old staffie while me and my family were away for two weeks. Rob visited us a month before we were due to go away for a meet and greet and immediately we knew that Harry would be well looked after. Rob ensured that his service was tailored to Harry’s needs and while I was away sent regular updates and pictures of him for reassurance. How did I know that Harry was well looked after? Because of his reaction when Rob came to bring our house key back. Harry said hello as he does, wanted a belly rub and sat next to him for cuddle. I can honestly say that Rob has provided a fabulous service and would honestly recommend him to anyone! More...

Rob did home visits for our three cats over New Year while we were away, feeding and changing litter trays as needed. He was great & kept us updated while we were away it really put our minds at ease. We came home to three very happy cats, which speaks volumes! He didn't mind being jumped all over by our crazy dogs when he came to collect the keys either, thanks Rob More...

We have been using Robbie for about 6 weeks and he is everything you could possibly want in a dog sitter/walker - communicative - friendly - efficient - excellent time keeping - professional - personable My 2 cockerspaniels absolutely adore Robbie and they look forward to Thursdays every week. Both me and Emma work in the office on Thursday and it is so reassuring to know that the dogs are kept entertained and in company. We always come home to 2 happy and tired our dogs. Couldn’t ask for any more More...

Rob has been walking my beautiful Boy for well over a year, since I had a stroke and can't do it myself. My Boy is very precious to me and Rob has been so caring and looked after him very, very well .
..while still giving him walks that he's obviously loved! He's so happy to see Rob when Rob arrives ...wagging tail and little bounces! :)
I can highly recommend Rob and feel it's a perfect move for him to offer this service professionally!
