Pet care experience

are ur pets ready to paw-ty or what

Hi friends! My name is Robin, I’m 29, and I’m an artist living in northeast Minneapolis currently working in the service industry. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I am my community’s right-hand-gal when it comes to pet care. I also spend my free time often reading and consuming content about dog training and working with reactive pups. It is important to me that my presence is known by the animals in my life to be calm and joyful and consistent. I’ve got lots of attention to give and lots of patience - looking to overflow back into the families around me through helping care and tend to their pets. I am most familiar with having small dogs be a part of my family but have built my pet experience recipe to the brim with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as playful & shy cats and kittens. Don’t let the “gap in my resume” fool you - I’ve been servicing families in my area consistently (they just text me the old fashioned way ;)).

Safety, trust & environment

I like to simulate what a normal day might look like for them while adapting to their particular needs surrounding getting to know a new friend (me!). I pride myself in being able to match the energy of animals and display to them that my job is to make sure they’re safe and I do not need to be in their physical space when they don’t want it. I love cuddling up with a lil silly sleepy pal but I won’t even be putting my hands on them regularly until/unless it is absolutely clear that they’re ready and wanting attention from me like that.

My dogs loved Robin. She provided great updates and photos so I knew my dogs were safe. I am so grateful she was able to help me out last minute. Would absolutely recommend Robin if you need someone to care for your dogs.

Robin was easy to work with and had a warm personality that made me feel better about leaving my cat for over a week. She send updates and pictures with each visit and was very responsive. Would happily rebook in the future.

Robin was awesome! She was very communicative and took great care of the dogs. One of our dogs who is afraid of going outside during fireworks season even went for walks with her. I would definitely use her again.

Robin was wonderful! My dog, Chewie, loved her right away, and I felt comfortable knowing he did not have to leave his own environment. I will definitely request her first next time I need someone to stay with Chewie.

Robin was amazing. We were absolutely thrilled with all aspects of her care for our two dogs while we were away for five days on vacation. She was easy to reach and quick to respond before and during our trip, kept us up to date with photos and messages throughout the stay, and paid careful attention to our requests around feeding, walking, playing, and etc. We returned from our trip tired to find our fur babies safe, healthy, and happy and the house neat and orderly, which made our re-entry just that much easier. Even though Robin was more familiar with smaller dogs, she managed our two bigger (50-60 lb) dogs very well. She went above and beyond, and we will book her again every time she's available. We can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our boys and our home.

I have experiencing administering medicine to cats - fluids through injection needle, liquids orally, and pills orally. This includes a gentle swaddling technique with a blanket or towel. I have little experience being around dogs with aggressive tendencies. While I have no preferences for sizes or breeds, I do love a chonky pittie mix (zero breed discrimination from me)!
