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.

Information Robin G. would like to know about your pet

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)!

A typical day

I love to meet pets where they’re at. You have 4 hours of fetch in you? Well suddenly so do I! You really love basking in the sun with your own personal space while keeping me in eyesight? Roger that! I love taking animals on long walks to be able to gain their trust, let them release some potential anxious energy, and show them that I’ve got their back. I can also be an endless couch potato if that’s what makes your lil pal feel the safest - trust me on that one. :)

Pet care experience

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 ;)).

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.
