“I’m so thankful we found Robin to keep our puppy and cats while we were away! I’m always so nervous leaving them but the frequent picture updates really gave me peace of mind to be able to enjoy my vacation. It was so nice to come home and everything already be taken care of. I could tell all our babies were happy and had all been well cared for. She has our full recommendation!”

“Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!”

“Ciara was excellent with our dogs. She was easy to communicate with and the dogs seemed to get along well with her. She sent several photos while watching them. We don’t usually travel without our dogs, but we would definitely rebook with Ciara if we were not able to take them with us.”

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!
