Other than pet sitting, my income is earned on a laptop. I am therefore able to easily guarantee that your animals will not be left alone for more than four hours at a stretch, and can usually reduce that if necessary. Also, within reason, I am happy to keep up your animals usual exercise routines (walks included), as well as water plants, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

While I am caring for your pets and your home, my thoughts are always on your animals' well being. I am serious about a career in pet sitting, and looking to build long-term relationships with pet owners who want to know that their animals are well cared for. I bring my own bedding and cookware so I can leave things as I found them. Perfectly comfortable in slums and palaces alike. My current rates are introductory. So please take advantage and contact me for a meet and greet!

Information Robert S. would like to know about your pet

In addition to getting to know you and your pets at the meet-and-greet before our first booking, I like to have a written routine. Of course, some dogs only need their kibble and some belly scratches in front of the television. But if it's any more complex than that, I like to have something to which I can refer.

A typical day

I always strive to keep pets as close as possible to their regular routines. Just let me know when-and-how they get their play, exercise, treats and petting and I'll do everything I can to help them feel like nothing's changed. I am physically able to cope safely with large and high-energy dogs on a leash.

Pet care experience

In addition to caring for my own pets all my life, I was employed at Greenhill Humane from 2012 to 2015 as kennel staff. I have been moonlighting as a pet sitter and dog walker for more than ten years, and my mother and I foster for multiple local rescues. Contact me for a meet-and-greet with no commitment. If your dogs don't love me, neither should you!

Once again Robert took excellent care of our two Wire Fox Terriers. And, they love to have him dog sit them. I think they may get spoiled(? 😁) We look forward to his next stay.

We've used Robert more than once to walk and then dog/house sit for us, and will continue to request him if he is available. Robert is responsive, and sends good updates and pictures. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog (and house) were well taken care of!

Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!

Robert is fabulous!!!!! We have had Robert house sit our dogs several times over the last few months. He is the best dog sitter we have had ever. Communicative, came over within a days notice, loves our dogs and takes them on long walks, leaves our house in perfect condition.

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.
