Fun-Loving, Active Sitter!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and they love me! I'm active, engaging and not afraid to get down to their level for some quality play time. If you're looking for a compassionate sitter who truly loves dogs, please reach out! I've always been the go-to sitter for my friends and family. I'm patient, responsible, and fun (at least as far as dogs are concerned). Plus, I'm a writer who can work from anywhere, so I can spend all day with your dog! Because I am a writer, I'm always looking for a distraction, so your dog will get tons of attention. I have always had an innate ability to connect and bond with dogs. They seem to understand that I respect them, and they afford me respect in return. You can count on me to keep your dog safe and comfortable while you're gone. I'll follow your instructions to the letter and can provide basic house sitting services like watering plants or taking in the mail as well. I'm so excited to meet you and your dog. I love helping people and meeting awesome new animals. Have any questions? Let me know!

Rob was an amazing sitter for our dog Fernando. My wife and I are so glad we trusted Rob with his care. Not only was he super communicative and kind, he seemed to really love our dog like we do. He got down to his level and played with him, even though he's still has a ton of puppy energy. Rob also sent the best updates while spending time with Fernando. We would book with Rob again in a heart beat. You were the most trustworthy and loving sitter for our little guy. Thanks again!

Rob is fantastic. It was such a comfort and a weight off my shoulders to know our dog was with Rob and being taken care of. We will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you!!

A repeat client of Rob's. He is amazing with our elderly dog, Mona. If you are considering him, definitely book!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to at least keep an eye on them any timer they're moving around. I'm careful to make sure leashes, collars, harnesses, etc are.fully secured before leaving the house

Information Rob D. would like to know about your pet

My only real concern is if your dog has any aggressive tendencies. But otherwise I would like to know the basics about them. What is their schedule like (I aim to stick to it). What are their favorite things? Is there anywhere they don't like to be touched?

A typical day

I love walking, and will walk as far as your dog wants to. As an active person, I love running dogs, too! I'll play tug of war, get down on the ground with your pup and am happy to provide A-Plus belly rubs.

My schedule.currently revolves around pet care, but I try to maintain flexibility for any pets that require extra time or attention, and so I'm not too exhausted to safely walk a dog
