Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover and Retiree

I cared for my beloved Shang, a wonderful stray dog (Collie, Shepherd, Golden Retriever mix) that adopted my family, when I was a teenager. He was the "dog love" of my life. Since then, I have adopted 8 lovely cats, as I have always lived in small condos or apartments. Six of the kitties have crossed the rainbow bridge. And I am as a big a dog lover as I am a cat lover!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Although I don't care for others' pets in my home (my roommates and I have two kitties), I am flexible with clients who require pet care in their homes. I am a mature, honest, trustworthy, dependable adult, and will consider all reasonable client requests.

Schedule

I am now retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to any pet that needs walking, care, attention, and play! My schedule is very flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Robert can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I always ask my clients about any special needs their pet may have, such as medications, any ongoing medical issues, whether or not they get along well with other pets, and what their own daily schedules are like regarding feedings and walks. I also like to know if they respond to any specific verbal commands, and, of course, veterinary contact information. Are they allowed to have treats and are there any restrictions on those?
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.
