I work a hybrid schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care throughout most of the week. I'm available during early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends, so I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I enjoy the companionship and love making time for it.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I stay consistent with feeding, walking, playing, and potty schedules, and always clean up after your pets. I respect your home as if it were my own, and I always make sure doors are secure and your pet gets plenty of love and attention while you're away.

Information Robert S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, and any quirks or fears they might have (like loud noises or other animals). I also like to know about any medical needs, allergies, behavior triggers, or training cues you use—so I can keep things consistent and safe. The more I know ahead of time, the better care I can provide!

A typical day

A typical day with me includes a mix of play, exercise, and downtime tailored to your pet’s needs. For dogs, that might mean morning walks, tug-of-war, and some mental stimulation with treats or training. For cats, I love interactive play with toys, cozy cuddle time (if they’re into it), and keeping their environment tidy and peaceful. I always match the pet's energy and personality, ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and loved while you're away.

Pet care experience

I’ve raised two animals from 4 months old, so I understand the patience, consistency, and energy animals need. I’m experienced with basic commands, crate training, and potty training. I treat every pet like family and focus on building trust with both the animal and their owner. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or reinforcing good behavior, I bring calm, reliable care to every visit.

Robert took great care of my pup and sent pictures and updates daily. Good sized fenced in backyard with multiple doggie friends to play with. Will definitely rebook.

Robert did an amazing job! They sent me photos at each visit of the kitty and any updates. Asked before giving him any new treats. This is the calmest my cat has ever been when I’ve come back from a trip, like “I missed you, but you left me in good hands!” Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Robert did a great job watching over Our dog Paco, and our cat Remington. He sent us adorable pictures every day of what they would do from walking around the neighbourhood and playing with toys. Our dog paco especially its nervous around new people, Robert was able to earn his trust in just a few short days and by the 3rd day of his twice daily drop in visits was able to even hold and pet paco. At 1st we were very anxious to leave our home in animals behind, but Robert put us at ease and our animals seemed to like him a lot.

Robert was so helpful with taking care of my 2 great pyrenees while i was away on vacation, and it made my time away so much more enjoyable. I was impressed with his help in treating my dog's eye condition and his responsiveness to my concerns. I loved that he was very flexible with my pet's needs, and brought over his own dog to play with mine. Would definitely trust him again to care for my pets!
