Pet care experience

Caring for dogs in general and training Service & Personal Protection. Volunteers (both me & the hound in my pict) at Laguna Honda Hospital in SF. Rescued a decorated DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) GSD. I have cared for and trained GSDs, Dobies, Terriers, Labs and more. 5 years in Vietnam working with and caring for GSDs & Malinois - mine and the military. Worked as a volunteer with German Shepherd Rescue in San Diego & The Iditarod in Alaska. I love anything that barks or not - even temperamental Basenji. Cared for, trained and romped with 5 GSDs at the same time in the wilderness. No more "dog cars" in this lifetime so I come to you or you to me. Well seasoned, responsible senior. Your dogs safety & comfort as stress free as possible while you are away is primary.

We are always so happy when Bob takes care of our fur babies! He is great at giving us updates and making sure our requests are taken care of. Our house is clean and tidy when we get back and our pets always have a great time with him! We highly recommend him to everyone who asks!

Robert was a fabulous dog sitter. He wanted Lossie to be comfortable when we left so he arrived before 4:00 a.m. He took her out for nice walks, they sat on the back patio and watched the golfers go by and he played with her. He sent us a photo everyday with a one sentence update. The house looked great when we arrived home. We would book Robert again. He was great.

Bob was awesome once again. Our two dogs bounded easily once again and took advantage of multiple walks out on trails daily. Bob kept us well informed with daily updates and pix too. And he’s very low impact respecting the house and place. 110% recommendation.

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.
