Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community.

Safety, trust & environment

Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.

Information Robert K. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with all different breeds and all different anxiety levels for pets. I have no preferred breed as every dog is unique. I would love to know if your dog has any special needs or preferences that way they are able to be as comfortable as possible with me.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog mentally and physically. Whether it is playing with toys or a good belly rub, your dog determines how our time together is spent. I have experience with both senior dogs and young pups, with a special place in my heart for both.

Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals.

Bob was absolutely fabulous with the dogs. When I got home, they were not anxious. That was a big win. I will use Bob again.
