Pet care experience
Regular availability upon request!
I am a regular Rover Walker and have been using the app for 7 years now - I have a few consistent clients who couldn't be more happy that I look after their pups. Feel free to reach out for a meeting and we can discuss a regular schedule for your dog and make sure it works for you! Have owned dogs for my entire life; small dogs to big dogs. Volunteered at a local K9 rescue as a dog walker; aware of dog allergies and have taken care of nervous/anxious dogs. I am an avid camper/outdoorsman who loves to hike and go on long walks so am not afraid to take on longer routes especially for larger sized dogs. I love to play with dogs and have had experience dog sitting for friends and family; am willing to go out of my way to make your woofer a happy dog! I'm self employed, so my schedule can regularly accomodate dog walks or dog sitting - I'll always work with you to make sure your pup is taken care of! Having grown up with dogs my whole life, establishing trust is very important. Reinforcing good behaviour with treats, calling them by name and actively using the owners training techniques while looking after their dog is all important to me! As a precaution, I don't walk with other dogs or meet with other dogs while walking in the neighborhood to avoid any sort of altercations.

Safety, trust & environment
I take the advice of the client and try to keep the dogs routine as per your requests! If you prefer your dog have time in the yard, with a partial walk - that's up to you! Dogs can be very temperature sensitive, so sometimes walks may need to be adjusted with indoor play time so they remain comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Robert did a wonderful job during our weekend trip! He looked after our cat Konatsu very well and she seemed to like him so much. He sent us lots of lovely photos of her with updates, too. He was reliable, experienced and flexible so we will contact him again the next time we go away! Highly recommended!
Robert was lovely and great with our energetic pup Sam. We’ll definite be reaching out again!
Robert is amazing, took on a walk last minute for my pup. When he came to meet Kleo she felt his good energy and took to him right away. This is my first time using rover and letting anyone come to the house and walk her she's almost 6. I was nervous to book but Robert made me feel comfortable with kleo in his care right away. Will definitely be a repeat customer and most definitely recommended. Thank you Robert :)
Such a careful and thoughtful service!! Rob was amazing with the kitties.
I am so happy and thankful to have found Robert on Rover to take our dog Buddha for 2 walks while in Cornwall for a wedding. Robert is amazing with dogs and Buddha gravitated to him immediately. It was so comforting to know that Buddha was in very capable and compassionate hands and he wasn’t alone for hours. I can’t thank Robert enough and will absolutely reach out again if I need dog walks while in Cornwall in the future.
Rob was a total gem taking care of our Persian Smokey. He was flexible with timing, took lots of excellent photos and got our little guy to as close to smiling as a cat can get. Smokey likes to hide but Rob went all the way into the overcrowded furnace room to coax him out and make sure he felt cared for. Rob is definitely going to have our business again - 10 out of 10.
