Passionate Dependable & Experienced

Pet care experience

Your pets are my babies to!! ~Current Vienna Animal Hospital Receptionist (over 5yrs) ~Former Daycare Attendant at Petsmart PetHotel Bethesda ~Former vet assistant at Tyson’s Corner AH ~Former Receptionist at CityPaws Uptown I live 20minutes away from my job and animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve seen and heard it all! And even with my constant interaction with animals I NEVER get bored to meet a new furry friend! I even love to draw animals watch documentaries and read articles about them. (One of my favorite shows is “Its me or the dog”) Your Pets schedule will become mine and I will ensure they are completely comfortable and confident while your away. My schedule varies so please contact me for location and dates to better assure your pet gets the best stay possible. PLEASE READ: If you select overnight stays in your home for your pet it would be really helpful to me to ensure your bathroom is prepared for guest. I have a dirty bathroom phobia :(

Roberta (Robyn) was fantastic! Regular pictures, videos and communication. Our house was clean as a whistle, our pup was energized and healthy and we would 100% use her again!

Roberta was awesome!! Kept me updated every step of the way. I can tell my baby was happy being with her. Thank you so much for caring for my little baby while I was away,

Roberta is wonderful! We had a very negative experience with our previous sitter so we were a bit hesitant to use Rover again, but are so glad we did and found Roberta. She took care of our home and two pit bulls - one of which is a very energetic puppy. We received lots of updates and photos, the communication was excellent! Roberta went above and beyond with the dogs, spoiling them with a new toy, and with the house, which was cleaner upon our return then it was when we left. We are very grateful for Roberta and her care for our pups!

We had an amazing experience! Very caring and attentive. We felt that our senior dog and two cats were in great hands during our vacation.

Usually I make sure their needs are met before mine. When I would get off of work and get home id let my dogs out and feed them before I do anything for myself. It's a satisying feeling to know they are ok.
