Pet care experience

Hi my name is Robert and I am avid animal lover and have had pets for a majority of my life. I am an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over 20 years experience including rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs and cats. I am a reliable, trustworthy and energized sitter, who wants to do nothing short of making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am both equipped to handle last minute and emergency situations. If your pet is on medication, I can administer them. I am obligated to not only keeping your pet's mind at ease, but yours as well. I send daily updates on how your pet is doing and include pictures after each walk. If you are in need of a dog walker or pet sitter who is going to give your pet the attention it needs, I come highly recommended. I look forward to taking care of your adorable pet/pets. Because this is my passion to be able to take care of all the well behaved amazing pets out there, I do pet care full-time. When I am with your pet I will ensure they stay safe and if there is any special requests like they need to be crated after walks or at bedtime I will ensure that this is done.

Robert is an excellent communicator and our little cat seems to like him a lot! Robert makes it easy to work with him, and we don't have to worry at all when he's coming to check on our pets.

A typical day

My typical dog walking appointments involve a fun walk outside with your dog so they can enjoy the outside sights/smells and get exercise. I also make sure they get lots of cuddles. For drop-ins I ensure your pet has food, fresh water and if it is a dog that they are briefly taken outside to do there business. For cats I ensure they are feed, have fresh water and get a clean litterbox. Both dogs and cats also have fun playing with there toys. For petsittings, I ensure your dog gets walks outside, is feed there meals and I usually stay overnight with them unless the pet owner doesn't need me to. All this is the same for cats expect the walking outside part and I also ensure they have a clean litterbox.
