Pet care experience

Can’t believe I get paid for this!

I’ve had a beagle, shih-tzu, Maltese shitzu mix, and a pug (19 years of caring for dogs). Needless to say, they’re all very different personalities ranging from super affectionate to super independent (almost like a cat). Responsibilities including: vet visits, grooming appointments, bathing, walks at least twice a day, potty training, puppy care, etc. I’ve had friends leave dogs under my care for weeks at a time and seeing their excitement never gets old. I truly believe dogs are family members and should be treated as such. I’ve had dogs across all life stages and understand the complexity of navigating each dog’s nuances and idiosyncrasies. Also, I work in the behavioral health/sciences so I will make sure that we are on the same page regarding behavior management!

This was my first time using a sitter overnight,I knew once I viewed Robert’s profile he was perfect for my dog Shadow. He’s very caring and gave my dog an overall awesome experience and kept us updated with pics,I would definitely book him in the future.

Robert was great with Carter! He is very thorough and his care will exceed your expectations. He communicates well and often, providing lots of updates and pictures (we’re first time dog parents, so we were naturally anxious. These pictures/updates really helped put our minds at ease). He is super accommodating. My partner and I 10/10 recommend Robert!

Robert is awesome and very accommodating. I had a last minute change of plans and needed to extend another night which he gladly took care of Zoey :-) I will definitely request Robert again when I am in town:-)
