Safety, trust & environment

My sister and I live with our rebel pup Lulu who is still exploring healthy socialization. At the moment, I will only be offering services in a client’s home as well as walking services. I will update my page as boarding and doggy day care services become available. I am open to aiding you and caring for your pets in ways that will make them most comfortable in your absence. I am also more than happy to share pictures and updates as desired while you’re away! Take care, Robin🌻

Information Robin L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any specific dietary restrictions as I am planning on being able to provide treats of choice. Please also let me know of any physical restrictions or medicinal needs. If you would like for me to groom your pet or have any daily/nightly rituals that would make this temporary transition in care more comfy for them, please let me know- thank you!✨

A typical day

I am open to hearing and respecting any restrictions or special needs regarding physical movement and aim to give your pet with a fun and safe experience! I love to play with pets and as able and desired provide chances to explore the outdoors to stimulate the mind and body. If comfortable, I love to take mini-hikes and set up obstacle courses indoors and outdoors. Hydration is a must, especially during warmer months. Brain games have been an important part of my puppy’s development and I’m excited to share activities with other dogs and other pets as capable and desired as well! Rest is equally important and if your pet is up for snuggling- that’s the perfect end to a long day!

🌻A compassionate animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello! 😄 I am new to Rover but have experiences with housesitting and pet sitting dating back to middle school. I am a compassionate, communicative, and reliable animal lover currently living in Richmond, VA. I am open to traveling to DC and NYC as well as the VA area. When I find my footing, I will be open to traveling to other areas as well for housesitting! After enduring an accident in the summer of 2022 and several life epiphanies- I am taking a break from my social work career path to explore creative ventures, travel, and have more time with loved ones. I am most familiar with cats, dogs, and birds but am open to learning to care for a variety of animals. Pets are precious gifts- please be assured that they will be greatly cared for as you travel. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur and non-fur babies!

Robin continues to be the GOAT. I'm so grateful for her attentiveness, kindness, and gentleness; I know my cat could not be in better hands. I've booked her services many times and I will continue to do so!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
