In memory of Rob.

Rob was a life-long dog lover who found immense joy in caring for our furry friends. While his travels prevented him from having his own dog, he discovered a passion for dog-sitting, which allowed him to share his love and positive energy with countless canines.

His love for dogs was matched by his appreciation for the great outdoors, and he cherished every walk in the open air and countryside. His gentle approach and natural affinity for understanding their nature provided them with the best care possible.

Rob brought warmth, kindness and endless enthusiasm to every walk and every wagging tail, offering comfort and peace of mind to owners who were nervous about leaving their pets behind. His kindness, care and dedication touched many lives, both human and animal.

Rob's presence will be deeply missed but his spirit lives on in every wagging tail and happy bark he helped create.

Thank you, Rob, for the love you gave so freely.

Rest in peace.
