“Just picked up my pup from Robin & Rahn. They sent daily pics and videos and it was obvious that Freddie loved his stay with them. I felt so comfortable leaving him with them and will use their services again, if I need too.”

I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨”

About: Born a dog lover. Since I was a child I have owned dogs of all breed and sizes, from a 6 lbs Chihuahua to a 100 lbs Grate Dane. Recently I have decided to expand my love for dogs by starting my dog trainer journey. I have practiced teaching correct leash behavior for hundreds of hours with my own dogs and I am currently enrolled in dog training classes to make sure I have the correct knowledge behind my skills. I know how important our fur babies are, they mean the world to us! But I also know that a good walk makes a world of difference to them. It allows them to enrich their minds, promotes calm behavior in the home and best of all it make them happy! I would also be honored if you booked drop in visit with me, for all those last minute plans or unpredictable circumstances where you aren’t able to bring your four legged bestie. So, weather I take your baby on a walk or drop in for a visit, you can rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently in between switching careers and I have lots of time in my hands, I am home full time. So if you have any last minute booking, feel free to message me and let’s coordinate your pets care! DISCLAIMER: My profile shows that I have two dogs but I truly only have the pug, who’s very dog friendly. The chipoo is my SIL’s dog and I have booked with other sitters in the past for both dogs in the past and may do again in the future so she needs to remain active on my profile. She does not live with me though! Just FYI. My own dog gets a one hour walk everyday, because I know how essential it is for their nature. While I want it to be a fun and enjoyable time for them I will always make safety a priority. I check the surroundings as we are walking to make sure my dogs and my self will be safe at all time. Wether it be assessing for on coming cars, looking out for other uncontrolled dogs on the road or even chicken bones laying on the ground I make sure my dogs safety is my number one priority.

“I just want to thank Elba and her husband for taking such amazing care of my babies and all of their needs. My girl Sammy has recently been struggling with separation anxiety, and they truly gave her the love, comfort, and attention she needed. From the pictures and videos they sent me, I could see a completely different and much happier dog. They were also incredibly sweet and caring with my boy Pickles. I’m very selective about who watches my dogs because I want to make sure they are treated with the same love and care I give them, and Elba and her husband exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for someone to watch your puppies and treat them like family, I highly recommend booking with Elba and her husband!”

During their stay, I got plenty of updates and even got to see cute videos of them running around playing with her adorable cat! I had to extend my trip by one day and she responded quickly and was able to look after them for one more night- thanks again! I highly recommend her. Your critters will be in great care and have tons of fun!”

“David was an amazing dog sitter for our 5-year old pup, Luna. He was super accommodating on very short notice to arrange a meet and greet. His home was setup very nicely for pets to feel welcomed and have room to roam with the fenced in back yard. I could tell he also takes special care to make sure the pets he watches will get along well with any other boarders. David shared pictures and stories of how Luna was doing during our week-long trip. I can't thank him enough and would highly recommend his services to anyone!”

I really like that they post picture updates and are very active, taking her for walks to the nearby dog park. A friendly couple, easy to work with, and you can tell they really care.

We couldn't have been happier with the care Stella received! Our sitters were wonderful, attentive, and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's such a relief knowing your furry family member is in great hands, and we won't hesitate to use them again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Caymin is an absolute GEM! We cannot say enough great things about Caymin. He watched our pup Murphy and was simply amazing from start to finish. From day one, his communication was top-notch — regular updates, photos, and videos that made us feel so at ease while we were away. You can instantly tell he genuinely loves dogs. Murphy can be a handful at times, but Caymin was so patient, caring, and attentive to his needs, routine, and quirks. He made Murphy feel completely at home and loved. It’s so hard to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, but Caymin is that person. Responsible, kind, professional, and an awesome human overall. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for Murphy. We will 100% be booking with Caymin again! If you are looking for a sitter — look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

Krista was absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Romeo took to her easily, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. She paid close attention to all of my requests and the little details about Romeo as he is an older dog, followed his schedule, and kept me updated throughout his stay with frequent communication and pictures. I also loved that her dog, Doug, was so sweet, and the two of them became buddies! 🐾🤍 I especially appreciate Krista’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate my last minute boarding needs. She went above and beyond to make Romeo feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I highly recommend Krista’s boarding services and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Krista, for taking such great care of Romeo and making his stay a wonderful experience!

Angela is so good with our dog Cheese. He jumped out of the car and did not look back when we dropped him off for boarding recently (probably the first time he's ever done that). Also-her dog Cody is the sweetest and they get along so well. Highly recommend Angela for daycare and boarding ◡̈
