Dogs ARE Therapy.
Pet care experience
I am 51, have owned dogs most of my adult life and am currently the proud dad to a 4yr-old Portugese Water Dog. Through the years, i have taken care of friends' pets, volunteered at dog parks and recently worked in a family-owned pet store. While all owners love their pets, I simply cannot get enough of pooches. My friends/family tease me, saying I enjoy dog parks even more than the dogs do. A mentor of mine passed away trying to save two strays. His wife told me that, while tragic, he would have been thrilled to know both strays survived. My friend's dedication to these animals serves as an example for how I aspire to care for animals. When sitting or walking others' dogs, they are my children, loved as much as my own canine family. Therapy and service dogs provide an invaluable service but, really, all dogs provide us therapy and strive to please us. What better impact can I make in life than taking care of the animals who bring so much to our lives?
Reviews
Robert is a loving, dedicated, honest and patient pet sitter. I had him sit for my dog Shadow an 80lb black lab & pointer mix and for my cat, Tigercat. He spent significant time petting and giving attention to Shadow and Tigercat. My cat is extremely talkative which Robert enjoyed (not everyone appreciates her talkativeness). Shadow is older and she is a seizure dog. She is on three medications that she takes morning and night and I am particular about how the meds are given. Robert asked clarifying questions to make sure he understood exactly how I wanted everything to be done and he meticulous executed all my processes. He gave me a report of how everything went while I was away and I could tell he was sweet and loved on my dog and cat which I really appreciate. I felt that they were completely safe and well cared for. All of that is very important to me. I would feel very comfortable having Robert sit for both of my fur babies again. I definitely highly recommend him.
As a friend of Bob's for over 20 years, my two dogs consider him their "Uncle Bob" and enjoy being spoiled by his love and attention. He is honest and trustworthy and most importantly, treats my little girls as if they were his own. I highly recommend him as a pet sitter and know that he will provide the care your pets deserve.
Robert, or Bob, is not only a wonderful, kind, caring man but he has a true passion for animals, especially dogs. He has had dogs throughout his life, and nothing gives him more joy than being with them. He will do whatever is necessary to see that they are loved, healthy and safe. I have every confidence that he would treat every pet as his own. Pet owners would be lucky to have someone like Bob, who would put their dogs first in their absence. I highly recommend him as a Rover employee.
I met Bob a few summers ago at the local dog park. Since then he has become my close friend and trustful dog watcher. He has watched and taken care of my Portuguese Water Dog and Golden Retriever puppy countless times. My parents also have two dogs and he has watched all four of them when we vacation together. Bob not only treats mine and my parents dogs like his own, but any animal he comes in contact with. When Bob is watching your pet I can assure you that they are in great hands.
