Pet care experience
Reliable Pet Care for Active Dogs
I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and grew up around a wide variety of pets. I’m a genuine animal lover and understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I currently have an 8 YO chocolate lab who has never met a dog (or person) he doesn’t like. Because of that, I’m very experienced with socialization, active dogs, and reading canine behavior. I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always a top priority. Whether your pup loves adventures and hikes or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.

Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of Kylo and attending to him while he was sick. Really appreciate the extra care. He is on meds and a special diet now :)
Rob did a great job at watching my golden. Teddy enjoyed staying at his place. He got a long walk and was well taken care of. Would trust him again with Teddy.
Great job highly recommend
Rob is a responsible and reliable owner, and has watched my Great Pyrenees on many occasions! His dog, Dan is the sweetest boy and gets along great with other dogs.
If you are looking for an exceptional pet sitter, Robert is the absolute best choice on Rover. We have hired him multiple times to care for our pets while traveling internationally, and he has proven to be thoroughly dependable. One of our biggest concerns was our dog, Poppy, who suffers from situational anxiety. Fortunately, Robert possesses the patience and expertise required to manage anxious behaviors, keeping her relaxed and content in our absence. His professionalism and dedication to animal welfare are unmatched. I consistently recommend Robert to all of my friends and neighbors without reservation.
Robert has always been incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive with animals. He treats every pet like his own and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would absolutely trust him to care for my pets and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet caregiver.

Schedule
I work for a local public safety agency, which gives me 4 consecutive days off every week and a very flexible schedule. On my days off, I spend a lot of time outdoors and typically take dogs on hikes, walks, and adventures around Summit County. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving pets alone for long periods of time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a single family residence with a private yard, giving your pup space to relax, play, and decompress if needed. I can also provide crate accommodations for dogs who are crate trained or more comfortable with their own space. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and a calm environment. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day depends on the dog’s energy level, personality, and routine. For high energy pups, I’m happy to do long walks, trail hikes, or more adventurous outings where they can explore, sniff, and burn off energy. If they’re more laid back, we’ll keep it simple with relaxed neighborhood walks and lots of time to just stop and explore at their own pace. If it fits their personality and routine, I’m also happy to do a stroll through dog friendly areas like Main Street for some extra stimulation. Overall, I just try to match their vibe so the day feels easy, fun, and familiar for them.
