Loved the feedback and photos at every check in and I could relax better knowing there was someone looking in on my babies who cared and truly too there time to ensure they were comfortable. Thank you!!! Will definitely use Robin again when we go out of town.

About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with client’s pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. It’s very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that I’m keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless you’d like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!

Haley was fantastic with our cats! We have one orange cat who is temperamental and doesn’t usually like people other than me, but she let Haley give her some head scratches! She sent us pictures and updates everyday. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again for any future trips!

Emmie did a fabulous job watching our two needy dogs while we went on a 7 day cruise. She was very helpful and communicative and even cleaned up our little chiweenie’s potty accidents for us. I feel so lucky we found such a reliable and caring sitter who we can trust with our pets. We definitely recommend and she will be our first choice for future trips!

Hard to put into words how appreciatetive I am of Christy. With her visits, and care, my Mom can concentrate on getting better and coming home from the hospital. She does not have to worry about her 2 cats. Christy sends short videos, and photos. Having her mind at ease is a big. My Mom's recovery is a long road. I am grateful to have Christy's help.

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, but especially during my adult life. Cats and dogs and I even have experiencing in birds! I'm also eager to work with other animals as well (mice, rats, etc.). Your fur babies will be loved and cared for when I'm around, giving them extra love and cuddle time while you're away. Their comfort is very important to me, as is yours. I'm a part-time student at OU (feel free to ask me about my work), so my schedule is extremely flexible for whenever you need me to come over for your babies. Evenings will always be best, and I can come over at least twice a day (or three times, if needed) to check on the clients. I owned dogs for most of my life (with a fenced yard). I took them out on walks, played with them regularly, and let them out as needed. What I specialize in, though, are cats and birds. My cat demands lots of cuddles, so that's what she gets, but she also likes to play a lot. I'll be sure to accommodate whatever your precious pet needs.

Meredith did a fabulous job! She was very thorough and diligent. We liked how she sent us videos of our kitties every day. It seemed like she genuinely loved our babies. And our Liam actually started warming up to her! Slugger might get to the point of warming up to her if she had more time with him. We'll definitely employ Meredith for our future pet sitting needs as long as she's available.

She did a great job! Our dogs had never gone that long without us before. Robin took great care for them and helped them get through the experience. We would definitely ask Robin to care for them again in the future.
