Safety, trust & environment

Caring for a pet can be different from one home to another but i will make sure the dog or cat is fed, walked, and loved as if you were still at home yourself

Information Rob S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much as much information as possible when it comes to your fur babies. I know it's kind of cheesy but i am going to touch on a old phrase. "knowing is half the battle"

A typical day

I generally work with the parent and their comfort level on what is acceptable for offsite activities. Your comfort and their protection is my biggest concern

Just like home with a side of love!

Pet care experience

I’ve pretty much lived my whole life in the company of animals. And sure, it might sound cheesy, but my experience goes way beyond the classic cats-and-dogs lineup. I’ve also taken care of the “barnyard bunch”—chickens, sheep, goats—you name it. I’ve even house-sat on a farm, where every day came with its own furry (or feathery) adventure.

He was amazing with my sweet pup, Samaje! He sent videos and photos. In the video I could tell that my dog was seeking love and attention from him. I would definitely use him again.

Rob‘s been great with our animals! He’s taking extra time to ensure our anxious dog feels comfortable with him. I love that!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
