A doctor with a big ❤️ for animals!

Pet care experience

There’s just nothing like the unconditional love that a dog brings into our lives! Pups just have a way of making life more enjoyable and meaningful for everyone, so I’ve always wanted to give back to them in some way. Dog sitting allows me to do just that! In that respect, it’s really a dream come true for me. I also get to give something back to the community as well by helping owners in need of a caregiver for their pooch while they’re away. When your pup is with me, their happiness, health, and safety are my number one priorities. Since losing my dog a few years ago, I’ve wanted to make sure that every dog around me has all the love and care that they need to thrive. I lost my own pup in an accident while she was not under my care, so I am extremely sensitive to making sure that every fur baby I watch is safe and sound, no matter what. That being said, I love to stay active, so dogs that love tons of exercise will be perfect companions! I often hit the trails, so your pup will be right at home with me if they enjoy hiking. When taking on a new client, I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet. That way, we can make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another. Plus, we can chat face-to-face about how to provide the best care for your best friend! Lastly, I adore meeting new dogs, so having the meet and greet is just a great way to get acclimated before I take them under my care. I’ll always get down on their level and take it slow with them, so they can warm up to me and know that I’m a welcome presence around them. I’ll always make sure that you and your pooch are experiencing the best service possible. I like to adhere as closely as possible to the regimens and schedules that your dog is used to at home. That way, they can feel like they are right at home under my care. I’ll always follow an owner’s instructions to a “T” to ensure that their pup gets the same treatment from me as they do from you! Likewise, I will send regular updates with accompanying pictures to owners to show how much fun your pup and I are having together. I am very responsive and answer all calls or messages immediately. That’s all part of providing peace of mind!

I’m so happy I found Robyn. As soon as we met, I immediately felt comfortable with leaving my pup with her. She is a natural and truly cares.

Robyn was great! She booked with me quite last minute and was great with my dog. Highly recommend.

Dr. Robyn is the best dog/house sitter ever! I just cannot say enough great things about her. My Skippy (Maltipoo) absolutely loved her. She took him on frequent walks, and took the time regularly to rub him and give him the care he is used to. She sent pics almost everyday sharing the time they spent together. I started to think that Skippy was going to be upset when we returned home. Lol! She stayed at our home for about three weeks and when we returned, our house was cleaner than we left it. She also always leaves us a gift of appreciation when she house/dog sits. We leave for about a month every 3 months and we always use her. Dr. Robyn really has a heart to serve and I can tell that she genuinely likes to see everyone happy. She is heaven sent! I highly recommend her! You will not be disappointed. :)

Robyn has been so wonderful with my family and she would be great with your pet! She is full of experience and would leave any home satisfied with her service and as a caregiver.

Information Robyn W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

Although I’ll always follow the instructions that I receive from an owner, I do like to have a typical framework for a day. In the morning, we’d wake up and go for a walk (or maybe a hike!) before having some breakfast. I always like to sprinkle in a few walks during the day to keep us from getting restless. I’m an online college professor, so I sometimes like to head out to a coffee shop to do some work. Your pup is more than welcome to come along! Or I can always work from home. We’d make sure to get some playtime in or maybe hit the trails during the day before dinnertime. I love to stay active, so your pooch will have lots of opportunities to burn some energy with me.
