Pet care experience
Loving, Trusted Pet Care
I work from home, so your pets get constant companionship throughout the day - whether I'm staying at your place or your dog is boarding at mine, they're never alone for those 8+ hour stretches. I literally grew up in the pet care business, accompanying my professional pet sitter mom on client visits from childhood. I learned client communication, home care protocols, and how to maintain the trusted relationships that keep families booking the same sitter for years. Combined with raising animals on our family farm, this gave me both the business professionalism and hands-on experience with all kinds of animals. My background includes: 🐾 Grew up accompanying my professional pet sitter mom on client visits, learning the business firsthand 🐾 Farm experience with dogs, cats, and other animals from childhood 🐾 Understanding of client communication and maintaining trusted long-term relationships 🐾 Reliable, consistent service with feeding schedules, medication administration, and maintaining routines For House-Sitting: I provide complete home care: plant watering, mail collection, managing home systems, ensuring your place looks exactly the same as when you left it. I'm flexible with scheduling and can accommodate most last-minute trip extensions or flight delays. For Boarding: My home offers a fenced yard with doggy door access, giving dogs the freedom to go out whenever they need. Both my mom and I work from home, meaning there are two experienced pet sitters providing constant supervision and companionship. Your dog is never alone. We have a young dog (about 1 year old) and cats, so I only board dogs that are comfortable with other animals. Your dog gets the comfort of a home environment with professional care. You'll receive detailed daily updates with photos showing your pets comfortable and engaged, whether I'm at your home or they're at mine. Perfect for frequent travelers who want their pets to maintain their normal routine with someone who understands that premium pet care means reliability and complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment
House-Sitting: I provide all care in your pets' own home, maintaining their established routines exactly as you've set them up. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, playtime preferences, and any medication administration. Keeping pets in their familiar environment eliminates the stress of boarding or unfamiliar locations. Your pets stay comfortable with their usual toys, spaces, and daily rhythms. I maintain your home with the same care I'd give my own: handling plant watering, mail collection, and ensuring everything looks exactly as you left it when you return. Boarding: For dogs boarding at my home, we maintain a safe, comfortable environment with a fenced yard and doggy door access. Both my mom and I are present throughout the day, providing constant supervision and companionship. We introduce new dogs gradually and carefully to ensure they're comfortable with our young dog and cats. We establish a consistent routine for your dog - feeding times, play sessions, potty breaks, and rest periods - providing structure and comfort while you're away. You'll receive the same attentive care and detailed updates as if I were staying in your home. Both Services: My focus is providing reliable, attentive care that gives you complete peace of mind while traveling, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for by experienced professionals.

Robert did an excellent job watching our dogs while we were away. He was very responsive and sent daily pictures. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!
Robert stayed in touch throughout our trip. It was the first time we had been away from our pup and he knew how to keep her happy.

Schedule
Both my mom and I work from home full-time, which means we're present throughout the day to provide constant companionship for your pets. For house-sitting, I stay overnight in your home and maintain a consistent presence - no leaving pets alone for 8+ hour stretches while at an office job. For boarding, your dog has two experienced caregivers at home providing supervision and attention throughout the day - someone is always around. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your specific travel dates and most last-minute changes.

- I'd love to learn about your pets' specific needs and preferences during our meet-and-greet to ensure I can care for them properly. Essential information I'll need: - Daily routines, feeding schedules, and any medications - Leash behavior and reactions to other dogs or people during walks - Favorite toys, treats, and preferred ways of showing affection - Any behavioral quirks, anxieties, or things that help them feel comfortable For boarding: I'll also need to know how your dog interacts with other dogs and cats, as my home has both. During the meet-and-greet, we can assess compatibility and discuss how we'll manage introductions. For house-sitting - home care details: - Plant watering schedules and any specific care instructions - Mail/package handling preferences - Home security systems or protocols I should know about - Any household routines you'd like maintained I have a questionnaire I'll run through during our meeting to make sure I get all the important details about your pets and home care needs.
