Pet care experience

I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours!

Robbie and her family are amazing, friendly and took great care of my fur babies. Quick response to my texts and sent several videos to keep me updated. She even slept on the couch the first night to help calm down my anxious fur baby!! 🥹 Will recommend Robbie to my family and friends. 😊💕
