Highlights
Pet care experience
Guide Dog Volunteer - Offering Help
I have been a volunteer puppy raiser with the Guide Dogs for the Blind program in San Rafael, CA for 10+ years. I have raised 10+ puppies for the program and have extensive experience with pups ranging from 8 weeks old upwards of 2 years old. As a puppy raiser, I am equipped with skills in training basic obedience, house manners, house breaking, and basic socialization. I am comfortable administering medication and grooming including nail trimming, bathing, brushing, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. If boarding/doggy day care, Jojo (8 year old yellow lab) and Wasabi (less than 1 year old yellow lab - Guide Dog in Training) look forward to welcoming you into our home. I'd love to bring my volunteer experience to help you with your pet(s)!

Ratings and reviews
Thank you, Robyn, for taking such great care of our precious girl Foxy, and also for watching the house while we travelled. We loved having pictures of her throughout the trip.
Robyn took care of our boys very well and we appreciated her photos updating us. We can see that Benji and Harry are comfortable and happy at her home. We will definitely be coming back to Robyn when we go on holidays. We can’t wait to see her again. I would highly recommend Robyn for your pet.
Always glad to book with Robyn! She takes excellent care of our anxious dog. We really appreciate her awesome communication, especially sending updates and photos during the day. Our dog got along great with her dog and had fun playing in her yard. Hope we get to book with her again soon!
Robyn took great care of Toasty!
Robyn was great! She is really attentive and loving to our Agent Cooper. Responsible, caring, and communicative. A gem of a person!
Great place to bring our fur baby. Robyn is caring and her place is perfect. Thank you

Schedule
I currently work from home 4 days a week and go into the office on Wednesdays (gone from 7:30-3:30). I am flexible during the workday to take your pup on walks, relieve, feed, snuggle, and more. Weekends I am generally free aside from running errands, hiking, playing rec volleyball or pickleball for a couple hours. I try my best to incorporate your pet into all things I do -- eating at pet friendly restaurants (go-to in Novato is Finnegan's, HopMonk, The Village Italian, Dr. Insomniacs Coffee), going to pet friendly events, outdoor shopping malls, and more.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot. I have A/C to keep your pet cool during the summer months. Dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed, but I also have a kennel available and many dog beds if they prefer.

A typical day
The mornings you can find me working on my laptop in the garden with a pup by my side soaking up some sunshine. In the late morning is when I take my lunch walk so we'll explore the neighborhood on a 30 minute walk. Late afternoon snacks include a treat or some bananas for the doggos, then an evening walk or visit to the park or nearby school followed by dinner and some snuggles before bedtime.
