Pet care experience
Pupdate: starting May 2024 I will be able to accommodate 1 family at a time who has pup(s) that absolutely must sleep overnight in a room with a human /other pups will maintain overnight sleeping regimen across the tiny hall in the dog bedroom/ crated or kitchen. Fear Free Boarding and Daycare Individual Certification Program completed 9/22/2023. Goals: Safe, Happy, Comfy, enriched pets! Proof of current vaccines and parasite prevention will be required for daycare and boarding requests; for walks: please have current rabies tags. I have cared for animals since my childhood. 2020 and 2021 were devoted to caring for my geriatric cat and dog. We now have 1 adult cat and a neutered adult bull terrier. Raising our bull terrier from 10 weeks old is a marriage bonding experience since we are empty nesters with our human kids grown and moved out.
Reviews
Robin has cared for our young energetic white boxer a few times when we have travelled out of state. She is on top of it and is our preferred sitter! I receive plenty of updates and I do not worry one bit while he is in her care!
Robin is wonderful!! Our dogs loved her. 10/10
Robin is amazing! She's helped me so much over the years with my dog pack in different capacities: Walking, sitting, and also with my new born pups! I trust her 100% to make the best choices on how to care for my dogs. She has a six sense when it comes to animal behavior, and my dogs pick up on her good & kind energy and trust her, as well. She's professional, responsible and cares about other people's fur family. Highly recommend!
Robin was wonderful. Very carrying. My dog loved her. I would hire her again.

I do not accept daycare/boarding dogs I have not met/introduced to my dog. If your dog(s) has any resource guarding behaviors (food/toys/humans) - it is highly likely not a good match with us and I would like to suggest using the Rover filter to find a sitter who only takes 1 client at a time. If your pet(s) has aggressive tendencies - the best I can offer you are my dog walking services /in your home visits or *overnight sitting in your dogs own environment *if I have no other clients booked at my home. We also only take clients whom have had/established a bond with their pet for minimum of 6 months (long enough to know their own pet and be able to articulate their routine/needs/preferences/behaviors and quirks). My husband and I both went to high school in Sonoma: I have been a consistent resident in the valley for over 30 years, worked at the local hospital for over two decades, raised my sons here. We are rooted and own our home. I take my dog for walks, he walks well with other dogs. Longer walks in the cool of the morning and evening. My dog is temperature sensitive and unmotivated with temperatures above 67 degrees. We have dog crates and pens to give every animal their personal space to eat and rest: meals can be fed in the kitchen, living room, back yard, dog room; we have space to accommodate 1-2 dogs who are not crate trained and can sleep separately from humans.
Home
Information Robin B. would like to know about your pet
We are very conscientious around food allergies and are open to whatever your specific pets needs are to be comfortable and engaged. Sometimes the details that seem trivial to clients are the ones the pets rely on most - over sharing is encouraged. Does your dog(s) have any resource guarding? Food/toy aggression?
A typical day
We have a nice long tunnel to zoom through, snuffle mats, flirt pole, frisbee, fetch and manners practice with hypoallergenic treats/kibble. And a small expandable pool for seasonal weather relief.

Availability
Pet care is the biggest priority in my home. Knowing the pets schedule is key to humans and the animals sense of well-being and sanity. That being said: *we are adopting similar drop off/ pick up schedules of the valley: 7:30 am - 6:00pm. *unless extraordinary circumstances /isolated need is communicated and agreed upon prior to booking daycare/boarding. Thank you!
