Compassion for Every Companion
I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals. I’ve recently left a 20+ year corporate career and I’m taking a new direction in life. Animals were my first love and I’m returning to my roots. I’ve had dogs big and small from Huskies and Labs to most recently my beloved miniature Schnauzers (I miss you boys!). I’ve had cats from cuddly Tabbies to a very picky Persian (so much hair!) to a highly mischievous Siamese (I still tell stories about that cat!). I've hand-raised cockatiels, cared for big parrots (Macaws and Cockatoos), kept a variety of reptiles (iguanas, boas, pythons and smaller snakes). I previously worked at the TN aquarium and worked at marine aquaculture facility raising fish and corals. I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of ages and temperaments, and I’m experienced in handling special diets and administering medication when needed. I have extensive experience with senior pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and I would love the opportunity to care for yours.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or yours. That includes sticking to their usual feeding schedule, walk or playtime, and bedtime rituals to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with specialized feeding routines, administering medications, and supporting pets with specific care needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Another great experience with Rob! Great communication, always reliable and, most importantly, our boys absolutely adore him. Thank you!!
Rob is sent from the heavens and we're so happy to have found him! Pretty sure our pups like him better than us now lol Thank you for taking such good care of Myron and Maddox. They're excited to see you again soon!
Thank you for taking great care of our little Lucy! She loves hanging out with you!!
Rob was a lifesaver when our regular Rover sitter had an accident and couldn't finish a multi-week job. I was able to take care of everything easily - while traveling on the other side of the country! - because he was so great at communicating and was able to jump in quickly. Took a very stressful situation and turned it around for us. Bonus is that our pups seem to have found their new best friend!
Rob took wonderful care of our family dog, Lucy! He provided regular updates and made sure she was staying active with lots of walks! Would recommend and will be booking with him in the future!
My dad has always had such a calm and caring way with animals. I grew up with two miniature schnauzers, and I watched him care for them through every stage of their lives — from playful puppy days to their final years when they needed a lot of medications and special care. He’s incredibly patient and kind, and he always made sure they felt safe and loved. Any pet would be lucky to have him looking after them.
