Pet care experience
Devoted Friend 2 Ur Devoted Friend
Hello! My name is Robyn. I’m an NYC-based professional pet sitter and writer with several years’ experience in animal care. Red Cross certified for Emergency CPR and First Aid (2023). Light housekeeping also included in my overnight rates! A lifelong animal lover, I understand that patience is required in the care of our animal friends. We are their protectors. So, I take my role seriously. A pet is a member of your family, deserving of safety, respect, empathy, boundaried care, and, most importantly, love. As a pet sitter, it is my job to reinforce the hard work that you, the parents, have put into training your pet! I aim to be a calm, reassuring presence for your dog or cat--that's what works best for me. Firmly believe in communication and daily check-ins with pet parents. (I do daily report cards!) I specialize in rescue dogs, puppies less than a year old (once even a litter!), and geriatric dogs. Looking forward to working with you and your lovable companions!

When working in clients' homes, my ethos is simple: Leave the space better than you found it. I cover my own food, and I do offer light housekeeping and cleaning, especially for week-long stays. I take pride in keeping your home clean and maintained.
Ratings and reviews
Robyn is an amazing dog walker! So caring, communicative and reliable. Our dog Max is kept happy and very active during his walks in the neighborhood. We’re so glad to be able to count on Robyn when we are not home.
We were so pleased with Robyn in her care for our Great Pyrenees, Abbie. Right from the beginning, she handled everything above our expectations. She took notes after allowing us to give her so much information about our white 117 pound marshmallow. We felt so confident leaving our home and furry family member in her hands. It wasn't easy walking away as we never had anyone ever stay in our home before so this first time experience was a gem. Our Great Pyrenees loved Robyn and they developed a bond quickly. Every night we received a report card on our Abbie. We knew if there was any significant problems, Robyn would have called us immediately. The communication was so comforting. Robyn did everything we asked of her. Nothing left out. We would not hesitate to request Robyn's services in the future. She is honest, professional, reliable, dependable, has a love for animals and works hard to please her clients.
Robyn did an excellent job taking care of my puppy Angel. She is kind, thoughtful, and respectful. She kept me updated with how Angel was doing daily and was able to video chat when I wanted to. She left my home clean and tidy. Highly recommend Robyn!
Robyn has cared for our dogs on a couple of occasions now. We have a young pup, Bob, and an aging lady called Jessie, both Jack Russell. From the outset, Robyn is very much on the ball when it comes to communication with the pet parents. She was very diligently asking question before the first sit, and even remembered the nuanced schedules when we got her back the 2nd time. Robyn very clearly loves animals and shows great affection for her charges, but also great responsibility in keeping to schedules, diets etc. I would highly recommend Robyn for a pet sitting job, she is the best we have ever gotten to watch our doggos!
Robyn was fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and made sure to ask all the right questions in order to ensure she would take the best care of our puppy. She made him feel comfortable from the start and we knew he was in great hands. Don’t hesitate to hire Robyn… we will definitely work with her again.
She did such a great job taking of care of both Seamus (cat) and my 2 dogs (Billy & Joel). A very happy repeat customer. I never have to worry when I’m gone and Robyn is taking care of them

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule, since I work partially remote. While based in Manhattan, I travel throughout New York City, Long Island, and the tri-state area for my dog sitting. Once, my dog sitting even took me to Costa Rica!
