Highly Experienced Kennebunk Sitter

Pet care experience

My pets are my children, and I treat the dogs and cats I care for like one my our own! I am a highly experienced "parent" with a true lifetime of caring for my own dogs, foster dogs, foster cats, and Rover clients. My goal is simple: to give you the peace of mind your dog or kitty is happy, peaceful, cared for and loved while you are away! I am happy to provide walks, check ins, and of course, tons of love! I am certified by Pets America in canine first aid and can administer subcutaneous fluids and oral medication. I am also certified in Canine Massage and am happy to work on your pup if you are interested. I am happy to sit all breeds and temperaments of dog, and I can check in on kitties and other pets as well. As long as its not venomous and you can provide details, I'm happy to provide care :) I have been involved in rescue for over 20 years, having volunteered, fostered, and sat on various boards and committees for Austin Pets Alive, the Central Texas SPCA, and Lil Paws Maltese Rescue, as well as the Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh before moving to Austin. I was part of the dog behavior team at Austin Pets Alive and am very adept at reading dog body language. I was also raised in large part by a 140-pound Newfoundland, so dog behavior is kind of in my blood. :) I'd love to have the chance to do a meet and greet with your pup. Please message me if you're interested in meeting!

We had a fantastic experience with Robin. She was very communicative and trustworthy. Our dog was happy and safe while we traveled over the holidays. We definitely plan to have her dog/house sit again!

Robin was amazing! Our dogs were spoiled in such a good way while we were gone. I don't even think they missed us! Robin was great with communication and stuck to a schedule that made the dogs feel at ease. They even got some warm dog cookies and massages out of the deal! We feel fortunate to have had her caring for our pets while we were gone. We highly recommend her.

Robin is an amazing petsitter! She took care of our dog and cat while we were away and they were in excellent hands. She was prompt for a meet and greet and then right on schedule for every check in. She was also quick to update us with photos. She is also becoming certified in canine massage and our dog was very happy to let her practice! Definitely plan to call again for our next trip.

This was our 2nd time with Robin and Danny. They were able to accept a last minute request and I feel completely at ease leaving our dog Claire there! They are great hosts!

We will enjoy walks in the neighborhood near your home, we will play with toys if desired. For doggies we will work on enrichment activities such as nosework. Your pup might even get a massage if he wants one.
