Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive, Year-Round Pet Care
I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from working breeds to toy breeds. My background includes more than 50 years of pet-sitting experience and 10 years of professional dog-handling experience, including at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. I approach every pet as an individual, with patience, attentiveness, and a deep respect for their needs, routines, comfort, and personal boundaries.
Cat care experience
Robert also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My experience working at Relais & Châteaux properties taught me the importance of exceptional care, discretion, reliability, and respect for each client’s home and expectations. Supervisors have consistently described me as exceptionally caring and attentive. I bring that same level of dedication to every pet entrusted to me, while maintaining a safe, calm, clean, and comfortable environment.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love getting out and about for my favorite pastime—“OPP,” or Other People’s Puppies! I am generally available from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and again after 4:00 p.m. Because Rover’s displayed time slots are broader than my actual schedule, I confirm the exact visit time with each pet parent before booking.

- I love and have experience with dogs of all breeds, mixes, and ages. The key to a positive visit is helping your pup feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Please let me know where your pet prefers to walk or play, their favorite activities, and any situations that may make them anxious or uncomfortable. Information about their routine, health needs, specific commands, and behaviors you would like encouraged or discouraged helps me provide consistent, safe, and personalized care.
