I am an Animal Amans (an Animal Lover in Latin) and I look forward to meeting & getting to know your pet(s). 🐕 🐈 🤗

I also offer to water and care for your plants while you are away. I have experience caring for both indoor & outdoor plants. 🪴

As a professional sitter, it is my goal to provide you, the pet/ home owner, the peace of mind that your pet(s) and your property is being left in capable hands caring for your beloved pet(s) and home.

For my entire life I’ve owned & cared for pets off & on. I fondly remember my Beagle, Brownie, when I was growing up. We had a special long standing connection. I reminisce how Brownie used to love to launch herself off the dock, into the lake, going after balls I’d throw for her. 💦

We had many cats both as I grew up and while married. One cat, we called Mr. Mayor, we had micro-chipped and it was a good thing because one day he disappeared. We feared he had headed out of town in a neighbor’s U-Haul but no… three years later we received a call from Animal Services that a neighbor, two blocks away & across a busy street, had apprehended Mr. Mayor digging in her garden & took him to Animal Services. We were both amazed and overjoyed to receive Mr. Mayor back in our home. 🥰

At about this same time, we had adopted two more cats and I built a cat run attached to our house complete with cat walks & perching platforms. I also fondly remember Arnie at this time, a beautiful rescue Golden Retriever. I used to love taking him for walks in the neighborhood.

More recently… Just last December, I pet sat via HouseSittersAmerica.com for a couple, Katrina & Alexander, in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. I cared for their 2 bunnies, Indie & Misty; their tropical fish and their many house plants while they were visiting Belgium. The bunnies were quite frisky! ☺️

Here is Katrina & Alexander’s response to my review of them: “Thank you Bob. Our home, plants, and animals were all cared for very well. We very much appreciated coming home to a clean and well kept house. It brought us a lot of ease knowing someone was looking out for everything. Such a great experience. Thanks Bob.”

Last year I also cared & walked Watson, a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback, while visiting some friends in Savannah, Georgia. Walking Watson was a joy & a great way to get to know Savannah some and develop a new friendship.

Next I helped care for Thaddeus, a very good plushly brown Labrador mix. I often walked him, fed him & provided him with his medication. Wow, he gets so excited about going for walks and his meal times especially when he was on his “Farmer Dog” dog food! He would prance so high & around for this delicious gravy. 🐕

About me: Recently returned from a three month adventure in Sudamerica. I am a cheerful, friendly, responsible fellow. I am an experienced home owner, non-smoker & a non-drinker. I don’t do drugs. You will learn that I am caring, thoughtful, honest and respectful. I will plan to be as communicative as you wish while you are away providing you updates regarding the well being of your pet(s).

RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Bob is fantastic with our doggie Thad, a Labrador mix. Thad is a high energy friendly dog that requires activity. Bob keeps him engaged and happy. While great with Thad, Bob also takes care of our home. Organized and neat, we come back to our home in better shape than when we left it. Strongly recommend Bob.

*. Bob stayed with us for a few days last summer and graciously walked our dog, Watson, while we were at work. The two of them really hit it off. Watson is quite affectionate.
We highly recommend Bob to you as a pet sitter and know you will be pleased how he will care for not only your pet but for your home as well.
