I love dogs with all my heart!!

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dogs. Schnauzers, Dalmatians, pit bulls, border collies, they were all my constant companions. So when I grew up, of course I had to get a dog of my own, my little girl Molly. She and I are both excited to meet you! What sets me apart as a dog-sitter is my professionalism. I worked for a year at a dog-boarding facility, where I gained experience with even more dog breeds, and where I trained in pet first aid and pet CPR. At that job, I learned to prioritize pet safety, and I came to understand how traumatic it can be for dogs to be separated from their people. Not only do I bring a wealth of experience into my work with Rover.com, but also a great deal of empathy for you and your pooch. I want to make your dog’s stay as comfortable and as fun as possible! I work as a restaurant server, and go to school full time for cosmetology. I have a weakness for pit bulls. So though I’ll happily look after any breed, if I get to take care of a pitty, my heart will probably melt!

Robert is awesome!! You can definitely tell he's a dog lover and he treats all the pups like they are his own! Clifton had so much fun and loved playing with Molly! We will for sure be using Robert again! We highly recommend him!

I cant rave about Robert enough! I was gone for 8 days at a work conference and was nervous to leave my two dogs (3 yr old and 10 month old) for so long. I met Robert and his dog Molly at the large dog park that was located at his apartment, and could instantly tell Robert was a huge animal lover. Molly was super sweet and got along with my pups too :) Throughout the trip, Robert constantly sent me videos and pics. My pups were taken to the dog park every day, snuggled with in the bed, and made a new BFF with Molly. He made my work trip much more bearable to be away by his constant communication with me and his spoiling of my boys. I couldn't be more happy about choosing Robert to look after my babies. I would hands down recommend him to anyone because he genuinely treated my pups as his own and they were well taken care of. Thank you Robert and Molly!! :)

I used Robert for the first time and was highly pleased. He sent me several pics and my girls seemed to have a great time. Looking forward to having them stay with Robert again soon!

Information Robert A. would like to know about your pet

If there’s any way in which my background in first aid can be of special help to your dog, please let me know. Other than that, I like to learn a bit more before a stay: - Does your dog have any behavioral tendencies or medical issues? - What is the best way to spoil your pup? - What is the normal schedule and routine of your dog? - How much exercise or activity does your pup need?

A typical day

I can flex my routine around your dog’s needs. Molly and I like to go to the park near my house, though if it’s really hot out, we’re more likely to stay indoors, playing and cuddling on the couch. No matter what fun your dog and I get up to, you’ll get plenty of pictures during their stay.
