Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!

Our dog sitter of 6 years moved, and we were so nervous about finding someone new to care for our pups. We are so grateful to have found Robin & Rahn! Our dogs have stayed with them 3 times now, and are excited each time they go for a visit. We appreciate the love, attention, and care that Robin & Rahn give to our babies. They give us plenty of updates during each stay, and are very responsive.

Very friendly and great communication. Provided pics of my puppy as happy as can be at the park. Provided information about my puppies stay overnight; what she ate, how she slept, and if she would most likely need to potty soon. Will for sure use her services again. Thank you.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner. My wife and I recently lost our beloved Yorkshire Terrier after 17 love-filled years and need the love of a dog in the house with us. I have experience with senior dogs and know the extra love, care and attention they may need. I love to get out and see the city so your dog would get plenty of walks if needed. I'm a photographer so you can expect plenty of pics while your dog is in my care. I am a self-employed photographer and available to be home throughout the day as much as needed. My son is at school most of the day which leaves plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I have a large fenced in yard for all the exploring and sniffing needs your dog might have. We live on a quiet block without much traffic and have a nearby canyon that is perfect for on-leash walks.
