Highlights
Pet care experience
East Van Dog Walker and Pet Sitter
I recently completed my MSc in Zoology at UBC and am currently looking for work, so I’m excited to spend more time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals! I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, and more, as well as experience with house sitting. I understand that every pet has a different personality and unique needs, and am happy to adapt to each pet’s individual routine and preferences. I’m active, friendly, and patient, and I would love the opportunity to provide your pet with attentive, reliable, and loving care.

Safety, trust & environment
As a pet sitter, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m mindful of house rules, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure everything is left as I found it. Most importantly, I’m diligent about maintaining your pet’s daily routine and completing all the care tasks they need. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention and play while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Robin is a detail-oriented and trustworthy pet sitter. They have taken care of my two cats many times. They have provided both daily checks as well as overnight care and always done a wonderful job. My two cats have different needs and Robin expertly followed directions to meet their needs, including giving medication, special diet, and play time. Robin goes above and beyond because they truly love and understand animals. They are also a good communicator and I would trust their judgement if anything unexpected ever happened.
Robin has a deep love and respect for animals and does not discriminate based on the species! They have personally owned dogs, rabbits, and cats, as well as spending many years as an ecologist studying bumble bees, spiders, coyotes, and mice! Robin regularly dog-sits for friends’ dogs as they work from home, including for a friend of mine who has two pugs. Robin is kind, responsible, and has an excellent nature with animals. I am yet to meet someone who has more respect for other animals, be it dogs, birds, or insects. Robin would be an excellent set of hands to leave your pets with, I cannot recommend them enough!
Rob has watched my 1.5 year old Dachshund Franklin more times than I can count and he, without fail, has the GREATEST time with them. He’s so well taken cared of and tended to. He can be quite stubborn (dachshund classic…) and they’re so patient and kind with him. Truly the best care I could ever ask for for my little guy!
