Safety, trust & environment

I require an initial meet-and-greet to be sure that your pals feel safe and comfortable with me. If asked to house-sit or drop in for a visit, I conduct a comprehensive initial walkthrough to be certain that an area is safe for your friends. For dogs, use secure harnesses for walking, and I am diligent about checking that yard fences are secure and locked. For cats, I know how to especially respect their space and when to give them attention. I am also conscientious about providing consistent photo and video updates throughout my care because I believe in proactive communication when a loved one is involved. I treat your furry friends like they are my own and want them to feel at home with me. Their happiness and peace always come first. I believe in respecting their space and autonomy above all.

A typical day

I enjoy getting some sunshine on fun walks in the neighborhood, and I am always ready to provide some good old-fashioned cuddles. If they just require companionship, treats, and someone to ensure their elaborate towers are all in the right place, I'm there, too. I love playing a little fetch, using a laser pointer to initiate some chasing, or perhaps even partaking in some friendly tug of war. Can engage with commands and help with trick practice, too.

Pet care experience

I have over 5 years of hands-on dog care experience. I can hang out with high-energy dogs, low-energy dogs, high-maintenance dogs, low-maintenance dogs, what have you. I am flexible in my approach to give your pup the best possible attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I can provide services ranging from engaging play time and walks to simply watching over and keeping your cute little pals company when they're alone. I have cared for my own dog, Max, a 12-year-old Shiba Inu, since I rescued him when he was 7-years-old. I feed him, walk him, groom him, train him, and give him constant attention and playtime to ensure he never gets bored or anxious, as his breed is known to be high-energy. He is the best friend I've ever had. I've otherwise been around dogs my entire life, having grown up with a Husky mix, of whom I was primarily responsible for even in my parents' home.

Robert has done a great job walking our Golden Retriever! He is profesional, timely, and communicative. He was available with short notice and worked to accommodate our dogs needs. I would recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!

SO pleased with Robert and his professionalism. We booked him for a walk with our almost 2 year old pup that has extreme stranger danger when it comes to a new person in our house. He was so patient with her and spent extra time to make sure they moved at her pace so she would be comfortable. Will definitely be booking again!

We needed someone to step up and take care of our little pal Hooks while we were out of town for a few days, and Robert delivered and then some. Robert was very flexible with his time and schedule on short notice, really great about keeping us in the loop with detailed updates, and we could tell Hooks took a real liking to him. We’ll absolutely come back to Robert when we need someone to watch Hooks in the future.”

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.
