Pet care experience
I am owner of BOSTON ERRAND SERVICE (BES), a Personal Assistant/Personal Concierge service to busy professionals, families, small businesses and even non-profits, offering personalized errand running, administrative services and household management services. Previously, I was an Executive Assistant at Northeastern University, Reebok, and other corporations. I guess I've always loved animals. Over the course of my life, I've owned one Black Lab, cats, turtles, fish and 3 parakeets. My husband Garry grew up in the countryside of Jamaica with dogs and cats and his father was a farmer who raised goats, chickens and rabbits. So, your pets will be well cared for and treated with kindness while boarding "on vacation" in our home. We're insured and bonded members of NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters). When I pet sit at your home, I'll keep the daily routine as close to normal as possible to minimize stress or anxiety while you're away. I've driven dogs in their owners' cars to their favorite outdoor spots. I even had (the best Pugs ever!) Lulu and her brother Lucas stay with us for 5 months while their owner was in Atlanta taking care of family business. We're relatively new on Rover.com, most of my clients are word of mouth through BES. A few of my BES clients have provided testimonials on this site. Let's schedule a meet and greet to see if we are a match with you and your pet(s).
Reviews
Robin is just the best! We’ve been so lucky to have her take care of our dog and two cats for several years now. She’s highly communicative, totally trustworthy and reliable, and most importantly kind and deeply caring for our pets. She manages our senior dog’s complex medication and feeding stuff without issue. Is he gives them all affection and attention. She fills up our bird feeder and keeps us apprised of the birds and squirrels. She’s a true lover of animals and animals love her right back!
Robin is great with our cat and so responsive and communicative! She even helped us by taking in our packages, which is so sweet.
Robin watched our high energy and wild puppy for Thanksgiving break. It’s already very hard to find quality dog sitters but especially during this big holiday. Robin was attentive, communicative and adventurous with our puppy. We’re grateful for her services and hope to use her again in the near future. Thank you!
Robin, thank you so much for giving me peace of mind. It’s always hard to leave my home and my pets behind when I travel, but it’s easier when I have full confidence that you’ve got things well at hand. Even my bossy indoor outdoor cat! I know that things went well, because the cats were incredibly chill when I gor back. 🙌👏🏆 Thank you!

We have a back yard and there's a couple of parks within walking distance from our home. I never walk client dogs off leash, and try to make sure dogs get enough outside time. Our teenage son likes to tire the dogs out with toy time.
Home
Information Robin S. would like to know about your pet
Of course I'd like to know preferences, quirks, allergies, special diets or restrictions and behaviors both favorable and not so welcomed. I love Greyhounds!! Labs, Retrievers and all kinds of mutts and rescues. Every dog is a character, no matter the breed.
A typical day
We walk to Walsh Park and around my neighborhood or we'll drive to parks, beaches and other familiar play areas near the dog's home, if requested and schedule allows.

Availability
I am self employed so my schedule can vary week to week, but I am flexible and my 21+ daughter assists with cat sitting assignments when she's home from college.
