Cat dad and dog uncle!

With over 30 years of experience and 5+ years of working with pets professionally, I've truly mastered the art of dog walking and pet-sitting. You can count on me to care for your furry friends like they're my own. I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and neighbors, earning the title of the ultimate pet whisperer. Patient, compassionate, and calm – I'm all ears for your pet's needs. Plus, I'm as flexible as a yoga guru when it comes to accommodating their unique quirks and schedules. Rest assured, I'm as reliable as your pet's wagging tail. With me, you'll get timely updates, open communication, and a dose of love and playtime to keep their tails wagging. So, whether it's cuddles, belly rubs, or adventurous walks, I'm here to be your pet's new best friend! Let's make your pet's day paws-itively awesome! 🐕🐈"

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 cats that I fostered and then adopted during the pandemic. Prior to that, I’ve had cats and dogs as family members. I make sure they are well-exercised before meals so that they can remain calm and relaxed for the rest of their day. This cuts down on the misbehavior inside the home when I'm away.

Robert is amazing and patient with my anxious dog and has really taken the time to get to know him and work at his comfort level. Couldn’t be happier!

Robert is always wonderful with Lady, and leaves our home in exactly the condition we left it. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Robert is wonderful! He’s taken great care of my new rescue pup Bette as soon as I had to go back to the office. He’s been so patient, and I’ve appreciated his guidance on how to help Bette get more comfortable on her new city walks. Thank you, Robert! I appreciate you so much.

Robert handled my pup with care and even gave me good feedback on helpful gear I can buy to make my walks easier. He was good with communication and flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!

Robert has been walking my dog for years -- and I always know she's in good hands. He is professional, flexible, kind, and I am lucky to know my pup is always safe and happy when I can't be there.

Rob was excellent with our pup! He gave us regular updates and took wonderful care of her while we were away. I can’t ask for more than that - would gladly have him house sit for us again.
