Hello, I’m Rob
Solo dog walking around Stourbridge since August 2024.
I’ve been walking dogs around Stourbridge for just over two years now, and I’ve never once put two households together. It isn’t a rule I inherited from anyone — it’s just that a dog you don’t know properly, in a group you can’t fully watch, is how things go wrong.
I started Robbie’s Doggies in August 2024. I wanted a more meaningful career and I’d always rather be out with animals than anywhere else, so I stopped talking about it and did it.
Since starting I’ve trained with the IMDT in canine body language, which sounds grander than it is: it mostly means I can tell when a dog has had enough before it has to tell me itself.
It’s dogs in the name, but I grew up with cats — there was one in the house the whole time I was a kid — so they’re just as much my thing. I do cat visits alongside the walking.
