Robert is great! I appreciate how reliable he is and that he sends me notes and pictures and updates every day. I hope he will be available next time we go out of town, too!

Robert stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for almost 3 weeks when we were traveling overseas. We had even just adopted a kitten! My animals are my babies and I was very nervous to leave them, but Robert had been recommended to me by a good friend, and since he was also a fellow athlete (runners are cool! Hahaha), I decided to entrust them to him. He was so great with them! I could see him sometimes on the blink camera feeding our outdoor cat and taking the dogs for a walk and he was always so gentle and caring and affectionate to them, just as I had hoped. He sent me pictures regularly and walked the dogs regularly (posting his walks on Strava so I could see them)! And he took good care of the house, bringing in the mail and taking out the trash and the can on trash day. I hope he will be free the next time we travel, and I recommend him very highly to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, house sitter, or even just a dog walker, which he also still does for us sometimes. I was especially impressed when we got home from our trip, having had a full day of travel, and he had changed the sheets and made the bed for us. He is truly a gem!

Robert stayed in my home for a week to care for my cat while I was out of town. I loved the peace of mind of knowing someone was there to keep her company, and Robert was wonderful. He was very respectful of my home, followed instructions, and kept excellent communication. When I returned, everything looked exactly as I left it — and my cat was happy and showed no signs of stress! Robert is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly thoughtful. His background working as an in-home behavioral therapist for adults and children with severe disabilities gave me complete confidence leaving both my pets and my house in his hands. I highly recommend him for pet sitting and house sitting.

Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone I have known Robert for many years to be one of the kindest, most caring pet owner and advocate for all animals. He has been the owner of a dog, a cat, as well as a cockatoo!! They were definitely his children and their needs always came first. All of my pets have loved Robert, especially my yellow lab mix Jules. He's gentle and cautious when taking on walks and animals appear to connect with his inner spirit. I recommend Robert to be considered as a part of the Rover team and feel that he will be an asset to your organization. Susan G.
