I'm available everyday and most holidays. Being retired really lets me be flexible. I do travel a few times a year for vacation and visiting family. Otherwise I will be available, often times on short notice.

Information Robert M. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to have any and all information about your beautiful pet. Their welfare is my top concern. I will stick to their schedule as detailed by you. I have several relationships with local vets and I'm familiar with all emergency facilities in the area.

A typical day

This all depends on the dogs routine. I will engage in any level of exercise with which the owner is comfortable. Leisurely neighborhood walks, trips to different walking paths and parks, supervised and controlled swimming, fenced dog park playing with toys/balls. If special needs, walks in strollers or wheelchairs are definitely something I'm familiar with as I had a Frenchie with nerve damaged rear legs.

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Retired and ready to love your pets

Pet care experience

I have been caring for various types of pets for over 40 years. Mostly dogs. I'm very experienced with senior dogs as well as puppies and everything in-between. I can even care for your tropical and saltwater fishies! Recently retired with all the time in the world to be home and available to your babies. I couldn't truly relax on vacation unless I was completely confident that my babies were loved, protected and spoiled with attention and love. This is what I will deliver. I know the drill on feeding, potty, meds, grooming(not professional just basic) and play, exercise, bedtime routines.....you name it! I can't wait to meet all my new friends.

From the moment I met Robert and his wife, I had a great feeling. They gave off such positive, calming vibes, and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Luna in their care. Throughout the stay, they were communicative and clearly treated Luna with kindness and attention. It was such a relief knowing Luna was in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Robert was so sweet with Toby! He obviously loves and cares for every dog that crosses his path. I greatly appreciated his thoughtful questions when we did a meet & greet. Highly recommend for any dog with special needs!

Fantastic hosts for my dog as I needed to go to California for a funeral. Would absolutely book again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
