Pet care experience

Pets are my people 😃🤘🏼

I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old. I use to dog walk for my neighbors and my grandmother and I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years when I was a teenager. For the past 3 years I’ve been washing, drying and brushing dogs at a grooming shop my girlfriends family owns and I’ve always had a passion for looking after all kinds of pets!! My availability is pretty flexible. I can also take care of your pet(s) on holidays and weekends. I’m usually very responsive and always looking forward to assisting an owner with pet care.

When our regular sitter had an emergency before the holidays we were very glad to find somebody responsible to take care of our dog for the week. Good communication and easy to deal with. We're glad that everything worked out and we feel that our dog was in very good hands.

Rob was responsive during the booking process, and very accommodating for a last minute booking. Rhino loved his stay. Rhino is a rescue and very anxious and shy, but warmed up to rob within a day.

My dog had a good overnight stay with Rob despite our initial wariness of some unforeseen cats and room construction. When we reached out for an update, Rob got back to us right away, and he was accommodating with our schedule. And our dog ended up getting along alright with the cats, phew

Schedule

I work 8am-3pm, 4 days a week. It works out pretty great for me because I’m always home after work and my girlfriends here when I’m not so she gets them out for walk whenever I’m not able to.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure the pet feels comfortable staying with me by trying to bond with them or give him/her space in the beginning to let them get comfortable in the new environment. I also don’t leave anything hazardous around to assure the pets safety because I know every dog/cat can be different so that’s a just one of the many precautions I take.

A typical day

I will provide your pet with walks to explore a different area from their own. I’ll help burn off any extra energy they may have by playing with them or even taking them to a park or lengthier walk than the usual. Also if they have any toys I’ll be sure to put them to use during their stay.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Rob can host up to 3 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior I can account for. I work great with all animals all ages and will provide the best care I can offer. Sometimes the best way to learn is by knowing the owners strategies when it comes to a pet that may need extra care.
