Pet care experience
Ready to Meet/Greet/Treat your pet
I am a recently retired Military Working Dog Trainer/Handler, where have worked with and cared for some of the most amazing dogs (mostly German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois') around the world. I am comfortable around all breeds of dogs or cats, I have canine first aid training, as well as gentle training techniques for anyone looking to brush up on obedience. Apart from that I have been a dog owner my entire life; my boys Oliver and Seymour are smaller terrier mutts; they keep me on my toes more than the army dogs ever did. As many cat owners I was reluctant when my wife came home with Scamper, a tiny kitten, that grew into a Maine Coon sized furball, that is our pride and joy and constant source of entertainment. I currently travel in a self-build camper van with my wife and cat, we are based in Connecticut and always looking for more opportunities to get more time with fur babies; whether just popping in for a feeding, walks, or extended stays.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat all my pets like members Able to make accommodations, based on breed, size, age, and personality. It should be as seamless as a transition from when you leave to when I take over, with as little stress as possible
Ratings and reviews
Robert was a wonderful dog sitter and I highly recommend him. My dog Pancake is a slightly quirky shih Tzu who needs to go out on a lot of walks and likes to be with someone all the time. Pancake loved Robert and he took great care of her. He watched her in my house for 3 days while I was away and she was totally happy and relaxed when I came home. I'll definitely hire Robert again.
I highly recommend Robert for all your pet care needs. He is incredibly reliable and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure pets are well cared for. His impressive knowledge of animal behavior and health, along with his compassionate approach to special needs pets, truly sets him apart. Knowing my pets are in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. Robert has cared for my elderly dog throughout her life, ensuring her health and safety during each stage. He also managed the needs of my newborn rescue kitten, providing essential bottle feedings on a routine schedule and offering plenty of snuggles for comfort. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated, Robert is the perfect choice!
