Rob has been surrounded by animals for as long as he can remember – from family dogs and cats to birds and small pets. Friends and neighbours quickly learned that he was the person to call when they needed someone calm, reliable and caring to look after their animals.

Over time, those occasional favours became regular requests. Rob realised that what he enjoyed most was spending his days with animals, giving owners peace of mind and making pets feel relaxed and loved at home. Instead of fitting pet care around another job, he chose to make it his full-time focus.

Cockburn Pet Care grew naturally from word of mouth in the local community. Today, many of Rob’s new clients come from personal recommendations, and he still treats every booking with the same care and responsibility as those first neighbourly visits.

Over many years of caring for pets across Cockburn, Rob has looked after a wide range of animals – from energetic puppies and confident cats to shy rescue pets, seniors needing a gentler pace, and small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.

His hands-on experience includes:

• Daily dog walking, from short comfort walks to longer, stimulating walks.
• Home visits for feeding, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles.
• Administering routine medications at no extra charge, following your vet’s instructions.
• Keeping an eye on older pets and those with special needs, watching for any changes in behaviour.
• Transporting pets safely to and from vet appointments when owners are busy or away.

Rob pays close attention to each pet’s wellbeing and follows any guidance from your preferred vet or specialist. His strong word-of-mouth reputation is built on consistency, care and communication with owners.

Cockburn Pet Care is built on a simple promise: to treat every pet as if they were part of the family.

Rob’s approach is guided by a few key values:

• Gentle, loving care: Calm, patient handling that helps pets feel safe and understood.
• Reliability you can count on: Visits and walks happen when they are booked, with clear communication if anything needs to change.
• Respect for your home: Your home is treated with care – lights, locks and alarms are checked, and everything is left tidy.
• Going the extra mile: Security checks, bringing in the mail, putting bins out and watering indoor plants are all part of the service.
• Honest communication: You receive updates and messages so you always know how your pets are doing.

This thoughtful, personalised care helps reduce stress for both pets and owners, especially during longer trips or busy periods.

Cockburn Pet Care is based in Success, with Rob living locally and caring for pets throughout the City of Cockburn and surrounding suburbs. Because he is nearby, he can be flexible with visit times and is familiar with local streets, parks and walking routes.

Rob is proud to support and work alongside local vets and pet services where needed, and he is always happy to follow any recommendations from your preferred clinic. He keeps a close eye on community updates, weather conditions and local events that might affect your pets’ routines, such as heat waves or fireworks.

Knowing your carer lives nearby gives extra peace of mind – especially if you are travelling or working long hours and want someone you trust to regularly check in on your home and animals.

If you are looking for a caring, reliable pet carer in Cockburn, Rob would love to help. He will take the time to learn about your pets, their routines and any special needs so you can feel confident leaving them in his care.

Most new clients start by looking through the services and pricing, then getting in touch to talk through their pets and preferred visit times. Together, you can plan a simple, flexible arrangement that keeps tails wagging and whiskers relaxed while you are away.
