I will care for pets in my client’s homes however best suits their needs. I adapt my schedule to pets’ and parents’ requirements. Finding the right approach is always key!

Information Robyn W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. My preference is for dogs that can understand some commands and are not a bite-risk. If your cat gets overstimulated easily, that’s great to know! Etc.

A typical day

Depending on the pet’s needs and personality, we might go for a walk, play fetch, tug, a scent game, or hit the dog park, cuddle or dance and sing together!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I have small, medium, and large dog experience, experience with multiple dogs in the home, and experience with aging dogs. Friends and family have counted on me to watch, walk, play with, and feed their furry loved ones. I have experience at dog parks, and some treat-based training experience.

Robyn came and took care of my older cat with an illness for 1 week. My cat, Nyx, requires medicine twice a day and lots of cuddle time which Robyn provided equally. It was the second booking ive made with Robyn. Again everything was great, and my cat was happy and healthy upon my return. Highly reccomend! Robyn a great! Thank you!!!!

I hired Robin to watch my kitty, Nyx, for a long weekend. Nyx is a sweet lap cat with me but very shy and usually hides in the closet when my friends come over. With Robin she rolled on her belly and purred within the first moments of meeting her. It was so comforting to me. Robin knows how to be calm and gentle and the first night sent photos of Nyx on her lap. She was communicative and caring. Additionally, Nyx needs medication twice a day and Robin handled that easily too. I can't say enough great things about Robin or how she cared for my cat and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Robyn was a fantastic dog and housesitter! She was extremely communicative and responsible, and took great care of our two dogs while we were away for Thanksgiving. I felt very comfortable leaving the pups with her and she left the house super clean. I would love to book her again in the future! Highly recommend.
