Availability
Pet sitting and dog walking are my full-time jobs, and I take bookings every day of the week. I am usually very busy during the hours of 8am-2pm on weekdays, but I try to be flexible to accommodate one-off bookings where possible. Due to growing safety concerns in the Kingston area, I also reserve the right to refuse walks and drop-ins after dark based on the neighbourhood's location. For Boarding: When leaving pets alone, I aim for a maximum of five hours. I maintain some walks during the weekday to keep my overall pricing reasonable. Bookings are first come, first served. If you are the first to book your pet during a specific time period, all other bookings will be monitored based on the dogs already booked. I usually have at least one dog staying with me at any given time.

Safety, trust & environment
I require at least one meeting before the start of any service so your pet can become familiar with me. I always aim to ensure your pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I believe adaptability is vital in training, handling, and overall care. What works for one dog or cat may not work for another, and I tailor my approach to suit each pet. For boarding: We have a one-acre yard fully enclosed with wire fencing at least 6 feet tall. The house has multiple rooms, enclosed spaces, and kennels to separate dogs if they are being left alone or aren't getting along. The method used will be entirely situation-based. A first meeting is therefore crucial to better understanding your pet and what they are and are not comfortable with. Please note: I often have dogs from different households staying with me at any given time, especially on weekends. If your pet has a bed, a toy, or another item that will help them feel more at home, you are welcome to bring it with them for a stay, along with their food and any medication or supplements. I also like for there to be a collar with some sort of identification.

Information Robyn S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs, dietary restrictions, or behaviours to watch out for. Every dog has a unique personality and things it likes and does not like. It is always best for me to know these things in advance to keep them away from anything that will cause unnecessary stress. For boarding, if your pet is not fixed, please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly when booking other requests for the same time period.
A typical day
Daily exercise and mental stimulation are crucial for most dogs, and I provide both to the dogs I care for. There are plenty of trails in the area for walks, and the yard is set up to allow maximum play space. I've also taken dogs I've cared for on day trips to dog parks, dog-friendly wineries in the county, and provincial parks. I tailor experiences and outings to the pet's and owner's needs and comfort level. Please note: Save for a medical emergencies, I never take a pet out in my vehicle without first having permission from the owner.

Professional, Reliable Animal Care
Pet care experience
**Note: -I always have at least one other dog booked to stay with me at any given time and I do not accept pets that cannot be around other dogs. -I do not accept last minute boarding requests from new clients. If you have booked with me before for boarding or another service, I will accept last minute bookings based on availability. I have been offering services on Rover since 2021, during which time I have handled many animals and temperaments. Working with animals has become my full-time job since 2022, and my goal is always to provide consistent, safe, and reliable service. I have volunteered in multiple vet clinics, where I learned about proper leash handling and some essential medical information. In addition, I am certified in pet first aid through St. John’s Ambulance. I also have experience handling and raising puppies from birth. I also have experience with cat care, from proper feedings to subcutaneous injections and medication administration. When boarding, your pets will benefit from two professionals. My partner is a certified dog handler who specializes in working dogs and dogs with a history of aggression. He has been working with me for several years handling and caring for pets and is certified in pet first aid through St. John’s Ambulance.
