Highlights
Pet care experience
Where your pets feel at home!
I have always had family pets growing up. I got my own dog when I was in high school. I currently own 2 well-mannered dogs, a hunting labrador and a scent detection pit-mix. I have more than 2 years of professional gun dog training experience, and have trained over 50 other puppies/dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Robin and my daughter have been friends for over 25 years. Since I've know Robin, I've always seen the compassion she had in raising her rabbits and taking care of the other animals she has grown up with. Whenever I have a question or concern about my own pets, Robin is never far off with her suggestions for care. She has a love for dogs and enjoys working with them weather in training or just having fun running around the yard. I highly recommend Robin in any pet care, she respects animals of all kind!
Robin is an extremely knowledgeable and confident pet caregiver. I never have to worry when my dogs are with her. She really devotes all of herself to them while they are in her care. She has even helped me with any training or behavioral questions I had as she comes from an experienced dog training background and has been a trainer for many years.
An absolutely amazing service! She has the perfect mix of patience and consistency needed for puppy training, plus plenty of experience. Her own dogs are beautifully trained and well cared for, which shows her devotion to her pets and practice. If you want someone who is truly passionate about training and loves dogs, look no further!
Robin is a fantastic loving pet parent and trainer who cares deeply about all animals and the relationship between pets and pet parents. Her experience at Wildrose Retrievers taking care of and training multiple Labradors as well as backgrounding some of the best trained puppies you will ever meet is a testament to her skill and passion for animals.
Robin is fantastic! She watched my golden retriever for a weekend, and anyone who knows him knows he is full of energy and an absolute ball of chaos. I don’t trust many people to handle my naughty boy when I’m away, but she didn’t shy away from it one bit! She took such great care of him, made sure he got plenty of walks and attention, and sent me updates throughout the weekend so I always knew he was happy and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would trust her with my dogs any day and would absolutely have her watch them again!

Schedule
I currently work from home, so I will be able to accommodate any schedule your pet may need. My own dogs recieve 2 feedings per day (5am and 5pm). We often take a morning walk (typically no less than 1-2 miles, less if I am walking a young puppy or senior dog with mobility issues). Also evening walks if weather is appropriate. I do not allow my dogs to do strenuous activity or rough play right after a meal.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The yard is not fenced, so dogs will be on leash or long-line and fully supervised when outside the home. For off-lead outdoor fun we will take trips to the local dog park (not a very heavily utilized park, usually empty). I have experience providing oral and subcutaneous medication to pets, should your pet need medication while in my care.
Pets
A typical day
Healthcare: My own pets have a regular grooming, nail trimming and dental care routine. At owner request, these services will be available to your pet (as long as pet is a reasonably willing participant in the service). Exercise: All pets in my care recieve daily walks (either solo or with the pack), I have a slatmill fir the dogs, if you and your dog would like to utilize that option. There is also a fenced dog park in town as an option for safe/controlled, off-leash outdoor fun. Brain Games: With pet owner permission, they will recieve some type of mentally stimulating activity daily. These include puzzle toys, treat dispenser balls, snuffle mats, kongs and chew toys, stuffed/squeaky toys also. *Toys will not be readily available to pets for free access as this often can lead to resource guarding issues between dogs. Instead, toys will be available to the dogs through 1-on-1 play with me while they are in my care.
