Availability

For the most part, I am basically open anytime. I am available for walks, drop-ins, pet and house sitting, day care, and whatever else my clients need. I tend to be more of a “night owl” so I might prioritize afternoons and evening meet-up, but I’m open to mornings if that is what is requested or required.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always try to go above and beyond for the pets and their owners. To me that means staying in constant communication to put pet parents’ minds at ease, treating homes with respect, sending text, photo, and video updates, and provide post-care follow-ups with notes on behaviours, moods, activities, and more. Being a vegan, animal rights and welfare is something that I am greatly passionate about. I promise to treat your pets with the care, respect, and dignity that they rightfully deserve.

Information Robert D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know ahead of time if your pets have any special needs such as medications, allergies, behavioral issues, and day-to-day schedules and feeding times.

A typical day

A typical day is not always the same with every cat or dog. It really depends on their individual needs and personalities. Whether it’s quick stroll around the neighborhood, a long walk around the park, or a full day playing fetch at the beach I will always guarantee that your pets are comfortable, safe, and have a great time.

Vegan dog walker and pet-sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Rob! I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and pet-sitting has been a big part of my life. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats, including those who are anxious, hyperactive, or just need a little extra patience. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their humans are away, and I do my best to create a calm and comfortable environment for them. I enjoy long walks during the day and quiet runs at night, so if your dog needs extra exercise, I’m happy to help. At home, I’m easygoing and attentive, making sure pets get the companionship and routine they’re used to. As a vegan and someone who’s always been mindful of the world around me, I believe in treating all animals with kindness and respect. I’m part of the LGBT and Filipino communities, and I understand the value of family—whether that’s the one we’re born into or the one we choose. I want every pet I care for to feel like they’re with family too. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and thoughtful, I’d love to help.

Robert was great with Buddy. Very kind and patient with our old guy. He stayed over for 3 full days and even cleaned up after himself. Will have Robert back anytime!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
