Safety, trust & environment

Because I have a dog breed that are notorious for being escape artists, I tend to be highly sensitive to this issue. I also find that I am cautious about encountering other dogs while on walks and try to anticipate before things can go wrong. Also understand the dogs who love to catch a tennis ball or those who just need cuddles. In my home I do short walks with my dog 3-5 times a day depending on weather of course. We also do longer walks in better temps (he is a senior dog afterall).

Information Robin D. would like to know about your pet

In my experience the more timid or insecure dogs seem to feel comfortable with me. I am patient & allow time to establish a trust rapport with your pet.

A typical day

Throw a Frisbee, tennis ball or go for a 15-30 minute walk are the best general options I complete. I am also willing to offer some mental stimulation games as well while on a visit which is helpful for dogs whom are less physically inclined.

Pet care experience

I have a 35+ year long history of caring for my own dogs & cats. In addition I have helped my friends who want to go on vacation by caring for their puppies, adult dogs & cats. Having a healthcare background (retired now) I don't panic over things. I feel like pets give me so much energy, life, unconditional love that it makes me take my time & give some attention back. I have attended a few dog obedience classes & am good at working on those skills with dogs. I have also cared for brand newborn puppies!

Robin is fantastic with animals and I would not hesitate to recommend her services as a dog walker or pet sitter. She will take care very good care of your pet and they get to make a new friend in the process. She has a lot of experience with dogs and fostering, you won't be dissapointed with her level of care.
