Safety, trust & environment

I like to spend frequent outdoors time while dogsitting, both walks and yard play. I am comfortable with sleeping in the same bed as your dogs if this is desired.

Information Robert O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog is with other dogs. It is also good to know about allergies, since I usually bring my own dog treats.

A typical day

My favored walking route is through the park on Park Street, but I'm open to suggestions for new places to go. I'm always up for racing around the yard with those dogs who enjoy it, as well as fetch and tug-of-war.

Location

Saint Johns, MI

Robert O.'s Neighborhood

I enjoy all types of dog play

Pet care experience

For years I dogsat for my aunt's tennis-ball-loving Labrador retriever and affectionate flat-coated retriever, my friend's dutiful old English sheepdog and mischievous Polish lowland sheepdog, and my friend-of-a-friend's terrier. Now I've moved to an area where I know much fewer people, so I'm getting on Rover to expand my reach and start spending time with dogs again. On most days I have lots of excess energy, and I find it hard to say no when a dog wants to play, so you can expect your dog to have some entertainment when I watch him. (If for whatever reason your dog is restricted from exercise I can handle that too, though I always find it sad to see.) I also enjoy giving rubs, and people are always impressed at how much face-licking I can stand. I've had to deal with my share of unusual incidents during dogwalking (including once having to lift a strange dog up by the scruff of his neck because he was attacking the dogs I was walking), so I feel ready for just about everything in that regard.

Robert came in for the night to take care of my American bully while I worked. He did amazing with Draco. He made sure to send me update pictures of him and made sure my dog wasn’t alone whatsoever. He took very good care of him I definitely recommend booking him for dog sitting.

Robert O. Is taking very good care of my cat Meeuse. She's typically quite the standoffish type. He's been able to coax her a get chin scratches, head rubbies, and she came up on his lap (very rare). Thank you Robert!

Robert was awesome! He was great with Scout; gave her plenty of exercise, was reliable and did above and beyond. He’ll be my regular guy from now on!

Robert did a very good job taking care of our dog and cat. He was very responsible —-took our dog for walks and sent us pics as updates.

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.
