Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Walker and Cat Cuddler
Hi there! I'm Rob and I’ve always been an avid animal lover. I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I started my own pet sitting business as a kid. I have experience with a wide variety of animals from small Jack Russells, huge Caucasian Ovcharkas, reserved cats, outgoing cats, and many more. I also have experience with farm animals from my time volunteering at a farm sanctuary weekly for over 2 years. --- I deeply empathize with fearful animals and always give them space to be themselves and feel comfortable. While I am not a certified animal trainer yet, I have 5 years of part-time experience in positive reinforcement/force-free training, which is my preferred way of interacting with and training animals. When the weather outside is frightful, if you provide the treats I'm happy to work on any training you're working on or do indoor sniffing/enrichment activities. --- I look forward to the opportunity to help with walking your dogs or coming over for drop-ins, on a recurring or occasional basis. I am available for both 30-minute walks as well as 60 minute walks, and am happy to let them sniff as much as they want if they're sniffy. I adapt my visits to your and your pets needs and any specific instructions you have. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I default to providing comprehensive updates through Rover cards. I can provide less comprehensive updates if you prefer.
Ratings and reviews
Great at communicating and went above and beyond. My cat is always scared with new people and she warmed up very fast which is very comforting
Rob is very thoughtful and excellent with thinking ahead about our dog's needs needs. He is always in time and easy to work with. We are happy to have him working with us repeatedly to look after Silver.
Rob is attentive to my Stella and cares about sending me messages and photos of Stella each day! I am so grateful I found him on Rover!
Rob was thorough and did a great job caring for our pets. Would books again.
Rob was so great - professional, well prepared, very attentive to details and clearly loves the dogs he cares for. We know our buddy had a great time with him and we knew he was in great hands while we were gone.
Rob came by for a meet and greet, had good questions-took down a few notes. He was super gentle with the dogs and they took to his intuitive style right away! Great first experience, look forward to working with him more. Excited to have Rob in my Rover community 🙂

Schedule
I am currently job searching to resume my career as a Software Engineer. I am taking care of pets full time until then. I love animals, and any job I do I take very seriously. I have 0 cancellations and aim to keep it that way. As I've gotten busier, there are occasional times with back-to-back clients where I will come within a 15 minute window before and after your scheduled time, but I will let you know in the event this happens. For repeat walking services: if I am unable to continue providing repeat services, I will provide at least two weeks notice to give you time to find another sitter.
