About Rob
Heading away and need someone trustworthy to care for your furry family member? I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter based in Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs, offering attentive, loving care while you’re away. I've had cats and dogs for over 20 years, and for most of my adult life.
I've had pets all my life - Dogs and Cats. Currently without a pet for the first time in a long time, and I'm missing the companionship which is why I'm looking to do this. I'm a local, so not looking to travel to do this either, which also means I can be super flexible as I have my own place nearby.
Very comfortable with all sorts of cats and dogs, even those with funny routines or lots of medical requirements. I would also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind if you'd like that.
I understand every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own environment. Walks, pets, cuddles, sleep routines...anything I need to know to make sure they feel safe and cared for whilst you're away, I want to know about.
Daily routine during bookings:
I prioritise structure and comfort. For dogs, that usually means morning walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. For cats, I ensure feeding, litter cleaning, and gentle interaction while respecting their space. I also keep your home tidy and secure.
Safety & emergencies:
Your pet’s wellbeing comes first. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour or health and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. If needed, I’m prepared to take your pet to your preferred vet (or the nearest available clinic) and keep you fully informed every step of the way.
A recent experience:
I recently cared for a dog who required daily medication and a slower-paced routine. By sticking closely to his usual schedule and giving him plenty of calm attention, he settled in comfortably, and his owner returned to a happy, relaxed pup.
