Pet care experience

Home away from home pet care!

I love dogs and have taken care of many kinds of dogs (a couple being my own) since I was in college. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets, especially now that we do not currently have our own furry family members. I even had a friends' family dog live with us for half of a year while they lived abroad.

Robin was great! We had a good meet and greet to prepare Lenny for his stay. Robin communicated proactively and sent us lots of great pictures of his stay. She has a wonderful home for dogs, and Lenny couldn’t get enough of her beautiful backyard! We would love for Lenny to stay with Robin again.

We love Robin and have been using her to care for our fur-baby for a few years now. She's awesome!

Robin is great with my dog! They play in the backyard a lot and my dog always comes home happy after staying with Robin!

Bilbo loved his time with Robin!! I can tell that he was loved and cared for during his time with her. She was very communicative, and sent lots of pictures of their time together. With a 12 year old dog who can be particular, it can be hard to find a good fit for Bilbo, but I would not hesitate to book with Robin again!!

Rebel absolutely loves Robin! He cries when we pull up to the house and runs right in! So obviously, we feel so comfortable and happy when he spends time there. Robin sends pictures and updates, so I'm a happy fur mama!

Robin was so attentive and kind to our dog! She made sure to confirm our instructions, and welcomed our dog into her home. She sent many fun updates so we could see she was happy and well cared for! Would highly recommend Robin to others

Schedule

Since I teach piano lessons from home mainly in the afternoons and some evenings, all four-legged guests are almost always supervised, and given plenty of scratches and snuggles (some even enjoy singing or lying under the piano during lessons). I am available for boarding and/or walking on extended weekends, many holidays and during the summer.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is very dog friendly with great spots to sit and watch people walking by or lay down and snooze comfortably. We have a fenced backyard great for playing fetch, or perfect for relaxing outdoors if your dog enjoys sunbathing on the patio, lying in the shade under the gazebo or swing-set, or just hanging out in the grass enjoying nature. Our great, safe and pet-friendly neighborhood is perfect for dog walking with nearby parks and fields to take your dog to play and get more exercise, if desired. I also have a teenage son who is often around to give your dog extra love.

A typical day

Our guest dogs will go on a minimum of 2-3 leashed walks per day and can have lots of additional great outdoor time. In addition to walks and play-time (or relaxing time, if preferred) in the fenced backyard, I can take your dog to a local park or a large field across the street from our home to greet and socialize with any other dog and/or human friends who may be out and about. I will send frequent fun pictures of your dog while you are away. We love all dogs as long as the dogs are not aggressive or destructive. As I currently only allow two dogs at my home at any one time, your dog or dogs will receive lots of care and attention.

I require a brief and safe meet and greet for first time guest dogs to help ensure that I will be able to provide safe and quality care for your dog or dogs. Guest dogs must get along with other dogs and not be aggressive in any way. Please see below for some questions: 1. What are his/her eating and sleeping habits? 2. How frequently will he/she need potty breaks and walks? 3. Does he/she like to travel by car? 4. Are you able to provide meal and water bowls, cushions/beds, crate, toys, etc.? 5. Does he/she have any special needs or things I should know about? Thank you! Your dog(s) will be well cared for!
