It was nice to know that he’s a retired veterinarian. House was clean and tidy when he left. He kept me updated throughout the week.

Robert was an awesome dog sitter! His concern was always for the dogs! Robert always kept us informed every day about the dogs and their health and wellbeing.

Robert was great with our elderly dog who is both a picky eater and refuser of his medications. He was very patient, sending us frequent updates and we felt very comfortable that he would be able to handle any unforeseen issues. Robert has a calming energy, and our dog was definitely beginning to warm up to him after a few days together. We look forward to booking with Robert again soon :)

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.
