Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Attentive, Loving Care
With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, I provide knowledgeable, structured, and compassionate care tailored to each dog as an individual. I’m a professional dog trainer, Certified AKC Evaluator,Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist (CPCN), as well as Pet Tech CPR and 1st Aid Certified. These qualifications complement my years of hands-on experience and give me a deeper understanding of the whole dog, not just how they behave, but how their training, environment, activity level, routine, and nutrition can all influence their overall well being. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds, personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs, including dogs who are anxious, nervous in new environments, highly energetic, or simply need a little extra structure and patience. My training background helps me create a calm, safe, and confidence-building environment while maintaining the routines and boundaries that help dogs feel secure. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and providing specialized care for cats, reptiles, and horses. Whether your dog is here for a short stay or an extended visit, my goal is more than simply keeping them safe. I want them to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know the individual in front of me, their personality, their needs, their routines, and what makes them feel comfortable. Your dog deserves more than someone who simply watches them. They deserve someone who understands them.

Robin was awesome. Helped socialize our dog and there was communication throughout the whole process. She was very flexible when we needed our dog to be watched an extra day. Very grateful and would definitely use again.

Schedule
I am able to ensure I’m home anytime I have a pet staying with me. My schedule is made by me so is very flexible to any pet’s needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a privacy-fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time — but I don’t believe in leaving pets outside any longer than I can stand out there with them. This Texas heat is no joke, and I treat every animal here as I would my own family. Your pet will always have unlimited access to fresh water & comfort. I share my home with two dogs — a Doberman and a toy Australian Shepherd — both professionally trained by me. They’re calm, balanced, and respectful of all dogs, which allows me to easily rotate schedules if your dog prefers their own space or needs a quiet environment. Their flexibility ensures that your pet’s needs always come first. My goal is to create a stress-free stay that mirrors your pet’s home life as closely as possible. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal schedule, habits, and comforts so they can relax, thrive, and transition back home smoothly. When your dog is with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re being cared for with understanding, structure, and heart.

A typical day
I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally fulfilled during their stay. For higher-energy pups, we enjoy walks and playful time in the backyard with toys that let them burn off energy in a fun, safe way. I also provide enrichment through Kongs, food puzzles, and lick mats to keep their minds engaged and satisfied. With your approval, I can offer safe chew options (never rawhides) to help them relax and unwind. Every dog is unique, and I do my best to mirror the kind of activity and stimulation they’re used to at home. Please share what your pet enjoys most so I can make their time here not just comfortable — but genuinely enjoyable.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs so I can provide care tailored specifically to them. I strive to keep every dog’s routine as close to their home schedule and environment as possible. Sharing a brief overview of your pet’s daily habits and preferences helps me create a smooth, stress-free transition while you’re away, so they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared-for.
