Rob can care for
Availability
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.

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.
Information Rob R. would like to know about your pet
I will ask specific and comprehensive questions during the meet and greet. Open to hearing about anything that will help me to meet your pets needs as best as I can, including preferences, health issues, or any kind of reactivity. When scheduling, please let me know if you are flexible with timing and if there's a range of times that work for you.
A typical day
For dogs: a typical day is tailored to the specific animals but some general activities are: walks with lots of sniffing, treats (if allowed), playing, feeding, refreshing water, providing enrichment, and lots of pets. For cats: I can feed, refresh water, and clean litter daily. Always happy to play with them, sit with them for pets, or keep my distance from them, whichever they prefer.

Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
Rob was reliable, sent great updates and our cat was happy/healthy when we arrived back home!
Rob was wonderful. I was so nervous finding a dog sitter for my anxious and sometimes reactive dog Maloah. Have never booked a sitter for him before and wasn’t sure how it would go. Rob Graciously met up with us before I booked, so we could see if it would be a good match. The day that I needed Maloah taken care of, Rob was patient with him and gave good updates. Would definitely book again.
very kind, communicative, and accommodating!
Great cat sitter. Followed instructions to a T, good attention to detail, and my kitties appear well taken care of.
