Hi, I’m Robert. I’m a calm, reliable pet sitter based in Ealing, close to Gunnersbury Park and other great green spaces. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of time with the pets I look after and keep closely to their usual routine.

I only accept one booking at a time, so your pet will be my main focus during their stay. If you have more than one pet from the same household, that’s absolutely fine, but I won’t take another owner’s booking at the same time. I think this helps pets settle more easily and means I can give them lots of individual attention, company, care and affection.

I’ve had dogs in my life for years and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding and toilet breaks to walks, play, relaxation time and helping dogs feel settled in a new environment. I’m happy to follow your usual walking routine, feeding schedule and house rules, and I’ll always pay close attention to anything your dog is nervous about or needs extra help with.

I’m equally happy caring for cats. I know that every cat is different, so I’ll follow their lead and give them the right balance of attention and space. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter trays, play, keeping an eye on their behaviour and making sure they feel safe and relaxed.

My home is tidy, calm and pet-friendly. I’m careful about keeping anything unsafe or tempting out of reach, and I’ll always do my best to make your pet feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me.

I’m happy to care for pets with specific routines or additional needs, including senior pets, special diets and medication, as long as I have clear instructions. If anything unexpected happens, I’ll contact you straight away and follow your preferred veterinary arrangements.

I also know how reassuring it is to hear that everything is going well, so I’m very happy to send regular photo and message updates during bookings.

The Yorkshire Terrier in my photos is Bentley, my dog who sadly passed away a few years ago. Caring for him for many years is a big part of why I take pet care seriously and why I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet.

For pets staying in my home, I prefer vaccinations to be up to date, along with flea and worm treatment where appropriate.

A meet-and-greet before the first booking is essential. I want to meet your pet beforehand, understand their personality, routine and any quirks, and make sure they are comfortable with me. It also gives you a chance to see where they’ll be staying and to talk me through anything important before the booking begins.

Whether your pet loves long walks and lots of attention, prefers a quieter routine, or simply wants someone nearby for company, I’ll do my best to make their time with me feel safe, relaxed and enjoyable.
