Pet care experience
I love dogs! All breeds, big and small. Cats too! We have two dogs in our home, Ellie is a 4 year old Toy Poodle, female. She is small but don’t let that fool you - she’s strong willed and highly intelligent. Bubba is a 9 year old Labahula, male. He’s good with other dogs, but is getting older so doesn’t play as much as he used to. He is very tolerant but will let other dogs know when he’s had enough. I work, but typically home through the evenings and weekends, so can be fairly flexible with scheduling. Your dog(s) would have the run of the full house, plus back yard. I have no rules against pets on furniture so your dogs would have a comfortable place for an afternoon nap or overnight sleep. Back yard is fully fenced with enough space to romp around and burn off some energy. I am happy to FaceTime, email or text pictures or videos of your fur babies during their stay. Our goal is to make your pets as comfortable as possible, so I will maintain any schedule that your dog is on. I live right beside a big park that offers off leash play time - if that is suitable for your dog. It is not fully fenced in but has a lot of space to run and play with other dogs. Forest area with paths for excellent on-leash nature walking. Having to travel for work sometimes, I know how hard it is to be away from your fur baby. Rest easy knowing your pet is in a loving and caring home, and will be treated like a member of the family ❤️
Reviews
Robin takes the best care of our girl and sends great photos. We feel 100 % comfortable knowing little Lucy is being so well cared for. Merci Robin!
I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a drop-in pet sitter! Over Christmas, we had to leave our pup for the first time overnight. My Sheltie (Tovi) is very fearful of new people, so we needed someone with a gentle voice and patience; I am so glad we found Robin, Tovi loved her! I appreciated the thorough updates with photos, and my family joked that Robin was both a professional pet sitter and photographer. Thank you so much for easing our minds, coming a day early to meet us, and taking care of our fur baby!
Robin is wonderful! Took care of my 21yr old and 3 yr old cats with care and OMG she's an incredible photographer as well. The photos really help illustrate how intimate and kindly she visited. I am so grateful! I never go anywhere because of my Tigger being a super senior...but now...if I can book Robin again I know all will be very well. I've discovered a new freedom thanks to Robin :) Wholeheartedly recommend :)
Robin looked after my cat Chinook while I was away on vacation. She sent me so many adorable photos and great updates about each of their visits. My cat seems to have warmed to Robin faster than most others. When I arrived home Chinook was happily resting in a sunbeam. I would definitely recommend Robin for your Rover needs. Thank you, Robin!

Information Robin D. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any food intolerances? Is your dog comfortable around other dogs, cats and people? Is your dog crate trained, or prefer to roam? Is your dog able to be off-leash? Is your dog ready to have fun?!
A typical day
I believe in mental stimulation as well as physical exercise and have many puzzles of different levels of difficulty for your dogs to play with. Regular walks exploring all the new smells in my neigh hood and long walks in the park across from house.

Availability
I work full time back in the office now, but home through the evenings and weekends so typically book boarding for weekends only. We live right across the street from a park so can offer daily walks as many times during the day as required.
