13. Uno V.
“Uno has three dogs of her own and LOVES them unconditionally. She understands that dogs are our best friends and would do anything to make sure another persons dog would be well cared for and safe in her care. She has experience with young, old, small, and large dogs... all different breeds. She understands not all dogs will react the same way to things and she watches closely to get insight into what the dog is thinking and how it will react. I’ve seen her around many dogs, not just her own, and she is as loving and caring as you’d hope any dog person would be. She is active and committed and would be an excellent Rover employee.”

“Robyn stayed at the house with my 2 dogs and cat while I was away recently. Wow so grateful to have found her! She took lots of notes ahead of time and was very meticulous about instructions and listening to all my tips and pet quirks! One of my dogs was on medication during her stay and she did a great job with that unexpected complication. Very good experience and will definitely be looking to book again next time I go away!”

About: I have cared for my family dogs and cats since I was young. This means cleaning litter pans, dog poop, brushing and bathing, walking, playing and cuddling with my pets. i’ve had my husky since she was a puppy as well as my kittys. My availability is every weekend and weekdays besides a few hours on Monday Tuesday Thursday that I have classes, I am available in the weekday. Caring for your pets would be a breath of fresh air for me as I miss my pets at home. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Here’s how I approach it: Consistency and Routine: I ensure that pets are fed, exercised, and receive attention at the same times each day to maintain a sense of security. For dogs, I stick to a walking schedule based on their energy levels and preferences. Personalized Attention: Every pet has its own personality. I take the time to understand their behavior, preferences, and any special needs. This might mean providing extra cuddles for a shy pet or stimulating playtime for a high-energy one. Safety First: At a client’s home, I make sure the environment is pet-proofed. I ensure doors and gates are secured, and I keep harmful substances (like cleaning supplies) out of reach. Exercise and Enrichment: I keep pets mentally and physically engaged with activities like walks, fetch, whatever depending on the pet’s needs. Communication: I can provide regular updates to pet owners, including photos and texts, so they’re always in the loop and feel confident their pet is in good hands. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, such as appetite loss or lethargy, and communicate with the pet’s owner promptly if any concerns arise. Whether at my home or theirs, the goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and cared for in a familiar, low-stress environment.
