Pet care experience

Woof! Is it time to play?

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.

I have known Robin for almost 15 years. She is an awesome human and amazing friend. She is someone you can always count on to help you,no matter what! She is also the best dog Mom I have seen. Her patience, knowledge and love for them is never-ending. She will no doubt be an awesome and reliable asset to your company!

You won’t find a person who loves dogs more than Robin. She has had a dog or many dogs in her life for decades. She lives and cares for animals and would be great to have as a resource to help with your dog.

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).

Pets

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Robin can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
