Animal Lover Dedicated to Pet Care.

Here's a Rover profile description for you, Robert: "Hi there! I'm Robert, an animal lover with a warm heart for both cats and dogs. I have my own furry family members at home, (3 cats 2 dogs) so I understand the love and care pets need. Originally from a background in resort security, I honed my skills at prestigious locations like La Costa and Aviara Golf Resorts in Carlsbad. My experience there taught me the importance of vigilance, care, and responsibility—qualities I bring to pet sitting. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a guardian, or just some tender loving care while you're away, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Let's make sure your pets enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away!"

Robert hosted my two doodles for a week when I lost my regular sitter and was going out of the country for a week. He was very responsive and put my mind at ease. I’d definitely use him again!

Robert was great! Very accommodating, sent pictures and even gave our dog a bath after getting a little dirty playing fetch in the yard. Highly recommend

House Sitting • Jan 02, 2025

Robert house sat for our pitbull over the Christmas holidays and I couldn't recommend him more. Our dog is a little bit of a special needs dog with her reactivity on walks, but Robert was able to work around her needs and gave her early morning or late night adventures. He sent tons of updates, and was a great house guest, leaving everything clean when he left. Communication was easy and clear.

Robby and Jessica were great taking care of my pup for 5 nights while I was out of town. My dog always has some separation anxiety when I leave him, but he seemed to relax and get along with Rob's two dogs. Communication was great with Rob and he sent photos every day of my pup's activities, naps, etc. And it was clear he got lots of snuggles and love. When I picked up my dog, he looked super happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!

Robert is great with dogs and cats, and has a natural ability to relate to them. He works hard to meet animals where they're most comfortable and goes above and beyond when it comes to their care. Whether he is taking an adventurous puppy on a fun walk, or making a special comfortable spot for our cats, he always impresses me with the depth of his love for animals, and he's my first choice to watch my pets when I'm out of town.
