Pet care experience

Call Rob, your baby's new pal!

I enjoyed decades of loving and caring for my own dogs and cats, though their long, healthy lives. Through that I became familiar with medicating, training and creating happy lives for those lovable souls. My work on Rover hosting and house-sitting has been rewarding for the pet families I've supported, and for myself. I've hosted my neighbor's small older dog Marty for a week or long weekends and often assist my friend (a Star Sitter!) with walks and general attention/care when visiting them. My son's cats and hedgehog are happy to stay with me when they travel.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 10, 2026

Rob dropped in on my two cats for a week. He proved to be intuitive and thorough with the feeding and litter box cleanings. He made friends easily with my cats, even with the younger, more skittish one. She has been known to hide for at least a week with other caregivers, but warmed to Rob in a couple of days. i would not hesitate to recommend Rob for any pet care needs.

Robert was a kind and gentle caretaker to my furious torbie. He was even able to medicate her without losing his face to her. I recommend him 1000% to anyone, even if your pet doesn't eat faces. He took wonderful pictures of her and was extremely great at communication. Robert is worth every 5 star he's received.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm able and willing to let your pet wander my home and fenced back yard. As they like, I enjoy providing affection and head, back, belly rubs and scruffs. I'm happy to tune my hours to meet a unique feeding or meds schedule. If its suggested and allowed I'm also good to offer reasonably timed treats, and of course daily walks in my quiet neighborhood - a dog-friendly area adjacent to a green trail.

A typical day

Walks and ball/toy tossing, scratching/scruffing/petting is usually on the menu. Depending upon your pet's age, attitude, I'm fine to engage in physical play, all according to your approval for such activity.

Robert can host up to 3 pets per night
I'm pleased to provide for your pet's special needs. Clear written instructions will always be the best route for that - info that you can provide or I can transcribe when we meet. If it calls for very specific details, I'm good to follow them to the gram. I can also intepret any described doses of bits, bunches, smidges, handfuls by reading your pet's age, size, demeanor, and response.
