Meet Rover Robyn!

Pet care experience

ABOUT US: "Rover Robyn" is not my actual name, but Robyn is. I would like to forewarn you, your pet will be cared for by BOTH me and my 10-y/o son as it help fulfills our mutual love for animals big and small. So if that set-up is not your jam, no hard feelings. OUR FURRY (AND SCALEY) BACKGROUND: I have been around animals pretty much my entire life, having at one point lived with a Black Lab, 3 Chinese Pugs, 4 Chihuahuas, 2 Silky Terriers, 3 Italian Mastiffs, a miniature Australian Shepard, 2 kitties, a tortoise, a hamster, a green iguana, and a plethora of fish, shrimp, and frogs. My childhood was a miniature petting zoo! My son has also been around animals since he was born (i.e., 1 of the 3 Chinese Pugs, 2 of the 4 Chihuahuas, 1 of the Silky Terriers, the 3 Italian Mastiffs, the miniature Australian Shepard, 1 of the 2 kitties, the tortoise, and the plethora of fish, shrimp, and frogs) and holds a deep love for all creatures big and small. In Christmas of 2021, we adopted a 13 lb., 4 y/o Silky Terrier named Frankie Blue. Frankie is a sweetheart and makes instant fur friends with the pups that come and stay with us. OUR PROMISE TO YOU: We solemnly vow to love on, care for, and have fun with your furry loved one while you are away for work or play. We understand how much of a responsibility it is to be entrusted with the care of a family member and are honored that you have taken the time to read our profile and are considering us as a caregiving candidate. THE NOT-SO-SMALL PRINT: -While I WFH the majority of the time, I do have to pop into work on occasion. When that occurs, I have my sister (aka the dog whisperer) either stay or check in on the pups throughout the day. -If we watch your furkids over the weekend or during a holiday, we like to visit my parents in Browns Point (N.E. Tacoma). They have a big, fenced yard with dog-friendly plants, 2 furkids (a Chihuahua and Mini-Aussie), and live near a huge playfield and walking trails. -I prefer doing meet & greets in a public place or OUTSIDE our condo building. -We usually bathe the doggies we watch so if your fur kid has any product allergies or if you prefer for us not to, please let me know. -We can only watch pets under 30lbs due to our condo building’s animal weight restrictions. We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your fur kid(s)!

I can’t say enough about the above-and-beyond care that Robyn provides for Petra every time she stays with her. We are so very grateful that Petra has Ms. Robyn!

When I board, I like to create a similar environment and enforce the same house rules that your pup is accustomed to when s/he is with you at home. That being said, I’m fine with them being on the couch and sleeping on/in bed with me as long as you are. I send daily updates with pictures and will not hesitate to reach out if I have any concerns or questions.

Information Robyn D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: -How does your furkid do with other big/small animals and humans (i.e., dogs, cats, squirrels, etc.)? -What is your furkid's personality and temperament like? Any triggers? -Has your furkid ever been attacked (or vice-versa and if so, is s/he known to have a strong prey drive)? -Is your furkid fully potty-trained?

A typical day

As a family, we love to be outdoors (rain or shine), especially on the weekends. We are smack dab in the middle of Magnuson Park which has a large dog park to play at or if your pet prefers solitude, we can walk the trails. One of our favorite ways to end a weekend night with our furry friend(s), is to snuggle on the couch while taking in a movie on Disney+. *UPDATE* as of 11/19/23: We are not going to any dog parks due to the respiratory virus that has hit our fur friend community. Safety first has always been our top priority and until there is a cure and/or we have more information on how to better control this virus, we are going to lean on the proactive side of things and avoid the hot spots.
