What Rob offers
Dog walks, drop-in visits, day sits and cat visits — all on the same principle: one household at a time, never mixed with anyone else’s animals.
Solo walks
One dog, one walk, undivided attention. Off-lead where recall allows and a long-line where it doesn’t. The default at Robbie’s Doggies — your dog is never put in with another household’s.
Same-household walks
Two or three dogs from the same house, walked together as they already live together. They know each other, they know the routine, and nobody’s introducing strangers on a lead. Every extra dog from the same household is half price.
Drop-in visits
A short visit at home: feeding, fresh water, a garden break, medication if it’s needed, and a bit of company. For dogs who’d rather not go out, or who just need the day broken up.
Day sits
Several visits across the same day rather than one. For dogs who can’t be left for long stretches — puppies, older dogs, anyone recovering from surgery, or a day when you’re out far longer than usual.
Cat visits
Feeding, fresh water, litter trays, curtains drawn and a check-round while you’re away. Some cats want a fuss and some want you gone — Rob reads which and acts accordingly.
Pet sitting
Looking after your animals while you’re away, kept to the routine they already know. Existing regular walking clients only, and priced per job.
Yes, it says Doggies
Fair point. Rob grew up with cats — there was one in the house the whole way through his childhood — so the name undersells him a bit.
Cats get exactly the same deal as everyone else: fed, fresh water, litter sorted, a look round to check all is well, and then either a proper fuss or a dignified exit, depending entirely on which sort of cat you have. He knows the difference.
Same rule applies as with the dogs — one household at a time, in their own home, on their own routine.
Why it’s always one household
A group of dogs from different homes is a group of strangers. They haven’t chosen each other, they’re on leads, and the person holding those leads has to watch all of them at once. Rob would rather watch one.
It costs a bit more per dog than a pack walk. It also means your dog gets the whole hour, and that whoever’s holding the lead noticed the thing that was about to go wrong.
