Im lucky to be on a WFH setting right now, and have a very open schedule. My wife is a UCSF physician who also supports in care of your little one when in our care when she’s not working. We have two dogs who I tend to all day, including but not limited to 1 hour walk in Golden Gate Park, and usually a trip to the beach.

Safety, trust & environment

My two dogs were victim to a tragic pet sitting stay some may have heard of in SF this past holiday season. Luckily, they survived. It is my goal to right the wrongs of those sitters and provide peace of mind and safety for your pets. Alongside my experience in the classroom, I spent 5+ years working in an animal hospital. I’m extremely aware of the importance of environment and structure. I make sure to create and maintain a peaceful environment (also for myself) and the little ones always benefit from such.

Pet care experience

I originally pursued veterinary medicine and earned a B.S. in Veterinary Technology, which gave me hands on training in animal husbandry and medical care. I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like my own , whether that means long walks, playtime, and most importantly making sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away!

Robert is fantastic! Very reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. Our cat doesn’t always like new people but loved his time with Robert!

Robert did an incredible job taking care of my cats. He was responsive, kind and most of all both my kitties like him! I cannot recommend him enough for cat sitting!

Robert took care of our Bernedoodle Alfie while we were on vacation and they had so much fun. Alfie loved playing with his dogs and Robert sent photo and text updates twice a day which was so nice when we were missing our pup. He also kept us up to date on Alfie’s medicine schedule and was very mindful to keep that on time and mix up the strategy when our doggy tried to avoid his meds. We had a great experience and hope to have Alfie back with Robert again.

Robert was an awesome sitter - super communicative, which is very important to me when someone is watching my dog; responsive; and very trustworthy! I’d highly recommend Robert and will use him again in the future.
