I will follow all instructions provided by you to keep your pet(s) safe during my visit(s). We will discuss any safety concerns or needs during our meet & greet.

Information Robin S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know your dog's likes/dislikes, leash habits, are they motivated by treats or toys, should I avoid other dogs while walking, any anxious behaviors, are they escape artists, etc.

A typical day

I would be happy to walk with your dog within your neighborhood. I can also hang with your dog in your fenced yard to play ball or just relax.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been pet/house sitting/dog walking in the area for 5+ years. My number one goal is to take great care of your pet while maintaining your peace of mind. I have pet friends of all ages and sizes - senior dogs/cats, young dogs/cats, super active to nap lovers, chihuahuas to St Bernards. My regular 9-5 job is 100% work-from-home. While I would prefer to work from my own desk, I am able to bring my job with me for any pet that may have separation anxiety. I have been a pet owner of cats and dogs for most of my life. I currently have one senior kitty named Sierra. She is the queen of our household.

Robin took great care of Cooper and our home and we truly appreciated her time and expertise. Getting together ahead of our departure provided Robin with an unhurried opportunity to meet Cooper, ask important questions of me and get to know his habits etc. While away, I was kept apprised of Cooper’s well being with brief notes- perfectly timed and to the point. Highly recommend Robin and plan to call on her again!

Robin was amazing, my dogs are not good with new people and take some time to adjust. I have never left them with someone else overnight and was very nervous (for everyone haha). She took such great care of them and the updates were perfect. I will have to travel again for work and knowing I don't have to worry about them when I'm gone is a huge huge relief. Will absolutely be booking with Robin again.

Robin was great with my very nervous and yappy pups. Gave them time and space the adjust and I'm very excited to have someone I know will take care of them when I'm away!

Robin always takes very good care of my pup, sends me excellent updates and pics. That really helps me feel better about leaving her, even if it is just overnight.

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.
