About: I’m a fur dad to 2 dogs, a cat and a chinchilla. I also come from a family with background on numerous other small animals, reptiles, etc. I can help with any size, shape, or form of pets that’s needed. I’m a school bus driver during the school year. I can walk or do drop in visits before school or after. I can also do afternoons between my routes. In the summer I’d have even more availability. I have three daughter’s and two big dogs. I fully understand attention and care needed to do the job right. I will follow whatever procedures needed for you pet’s special needs.

“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”

South Wilmington dog parents share their Rover experiences
When my dog's not being used to being boarded for any time at all.Robyn did a wonderful job with my dogs Angel and sassy for 3-day boarding stay. She stayed in contact the entire time with videos and pictures letting me know my pups were okay. I was very pleased with our services and how happy my fur babies looked while they were there.
As I told Robyn myself, they need to create a new and higher level of rating to accurately rate this Lady because she truly stands out in her heartfelt passion of her own dogs as well as those she is dog sitting. This is my now third time utilizing Rover, lucked out before with Rachel as well. But back to Robyn; heart of gold, so dedicated and involved with dogs she is sitting for and I would give her a TEN STARS rating if I could. She is truly a SUPER SITTER. Thanks so much Robyn. Definitely saving her info, the best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
