San Diego House
and Pet Sitting!

Your home and furry/feathered friends in caring hands!

Robert is a San Diego native who grew up in a home where he’d care for dogs, cats, and birds.

For decades he’s lived in a home that has only allowed birds (of which he’s had five),
so petsitting gives him the chance to enjoy connecting with dogs, cats, and other animal friends.
He wins them over quickly with his calm and patience, allowing them to come to him − on their terms.

Whether you are looking for someone to…
♥ stay at home most of the day for lots of pet company
♥ stay overnight for full TLC (and even sleep company)
♥ come by for walks once / twice a day while you travel
Robert will make sure your needs (and theirs) are met.

Or, if you simply want a presence in a pet-free house
(and the plants watered, etc.), Robert is up for that as well.

Unlike some agencies, you won’t just get whomever’s available.
You’ll get the exact person you’ll meet in advance: Robert!

Can I talk to Robert in advance to see if it feels like a fit?

Definitely.  A conversation with Robert is the first step, with no commitment expected at that time.

Can I talk to Robert while I’m gone?

Absolutely.  You and Robert can work out for what reasons you’d like to be contacted.  And if you want to call him at any point, you’ll have his cell.

Could Robert give my pet medications?

This would be on a case-by-case basis, as to how complicated it would be.  Talk to Robert.

Would anyone besides Robert enter my home?

Most likely, no, unless it were by some mutual agreement between you.
That said, in the case of some emergency where Robert could not get to your pet, he would find someone reliable to make sure that your pet’s needs are covered.

Who is the “Milo” that I see in the URL of this page?

Milo is Robert’s partner.  He is hosting this site for Robert, so the URL forwards to a Robert’s page under Milo’s hosting.
Should there be an emergency, as mentioned above, it would likely be Milo who would make sure your pet was tended to.
