Four Paws

Four Paws Pet Sitting is a professional in-home pet sitting service dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care for your pets. Founded by Robin, a licensed veterinary technician with 18 years of experience working in animal clinics, Four Paws was established out of a deep desire to provide a better, healthier, and stress-free alternative to traditional pet boarding.

Having grown up with four dogs and having personally adopted four rescue animals, Robin has a profound love for animals and a deep understanding of their physical and emotional needs. Her experience as a veterinary technician has provided her with a unique insight into the challenges that pets face when they are boarded in kennels. This understanding, coupled with a desire to make a positive difference, led Robin to start Four Paws Pet Sitting in 2006. Since then, she has helped hundreds of pets and their owners experience happier, healthier, and more peaceful transitions during their time apart.

Four Paws Pet Sitting is fully insured and maintains an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. Robin's extensive background in veterinary care and her deep understanding of animals ensure that your pets receive the best possible care in the comfort of their own home.
