Introduction
Thank you for your interest in Over and Out Petsitting. I hope all is well with you and yours. I want petsitting and dog walking to always be a good, stress-free, happy experience for me and the pet and the pet owner. Hi, I’m Robin Grossman. I'm Over and Out Petsitting. It's just me. I'm a private, in-home petsitter, overnight petsitter, and dog walker with many long-time clients, since 2004. My job is to keep the dog or cat's routine the same, so there is no stress for either the pet or the client or me and that makes everyone happy. I’m insured and bonded and I operate by the Golden Rule: I treat your pets and home exactly as I’d want mine treated. The key is my FREE HOUR CONSULTATION, which includes a dog walk. It's an opportunity for me to get all the pet's details, habits, triggers, routines, and issues. It’s also a vibe-check. In 20+ years, I’ve turned down only 3 jobs due to behavioral red flags. If a dog isn’t fully comfortable with me, I won’t force a match. I'm not a dog trainer. I prefer no stress, no mess. I'm not a dog trainer, but I will reinforce commands the dog already knows. Private Walks Only No pack walking, no shortcuts. Walks are tailored to your dog’s pace, style, and needs. Visit Photos = Real-Time Assurance Every visit starts and ends with a photo timestamp. I love capturing animals in their natural, goofy, adorable glory and I share those shots freely. Clients are asked to credit the photos to me when sharing. Some clients even order mugs, socks, or shower curtains featuring my photos. If it’s a face you love, why not see it everywhere? Going the Extra Mile(s) I’ve FEDEX passports to clients. Carried a 35 lb. beagle outside multiple times a night. Shown up at 4 A.M. at the client's request, who was nervous about leaving his dogs for 5 A.M. flight. My clients know they can count on me and I clean up after myself, too. (Just don’t ask me to make a bed. We all have a kryptonite.) PHOTOS are my Time Stamp All visits start with a photo marking the time and the visit ends at the sheduled time and you get plenty of photos in between. I’ve also Facetimed with my clients, so they can see their furry loved ones or to discuss a concerning health issue in real time. My clients love me because I take amazing pictures and videos of their pets and the emailed/texted photos are an extra assurance that I am there looking after their loved ones when I say I am. MY DAYTIME DOG WALKING & PETSITTING RATES 30 min: $25 45 min: $30 60 min: $35 $5 per extra pet, tricky meds/injections, late night (after 8PM) walks, or walks in RAIN. Payment: One-time clients: at time of service Weekly clients: pay Sunday Late payments: $5 fee Weekly Discounts: 5% off 5+ walks of 60 min. 5% off 5+ twice-a-day visits. MAJOR HOLIDAYS are an extra $10/day. NOTE: CHRISTMAS WEEK, THANKSGIVING WEEK, and NEW YEAR'S WEEK are an extra $10/day due to high demand. OVERNIGHT PETSITTING (12 hr): $80 Includes 2 evening walks and 1 morning walk. Includes 3 walks, playtime, feeding, plant/garden/mail care, and overnight companionship. Yes, I bunk with your dog if that’s their routine. :). Clients do book overnights for their cats as well! I've done them! VACATION PETSITTING: $115 This is multi-day or multi-week petsitting and your home becomes my home base. I bring my own food. $80 overnight plus $35 dollars for the rest of the day as I will likely have other clients and I don't want to spend time figuring out how long I'm at your home to charge you for time spent. This rate is simple and stress-free and you come out way ahead, getting more than you can pay my $35 hourly rate. Stress-Free is Non-Negotiable I recently turned down a booking after a long consultation revealed a dog's bed-guarding, food-guarding behavior. The clients were kind, but I recognized it wasn't a safe or comfortable match, especially for an overnight petsit. I believe in not pushing through red flags. My goal is always to create a positive, peaceful experience for everyone involved, especially the pet. Bonus Perks: Lots of photos and updates Facetime check-ins available Print-on-demand keepsakes from my pet photography (client-approved and credited) Discounts for regular and long-term bookings Let’s meet. Let’s walk. Let’s see if we’re a good fit. And the hour consultation is free. 🐾 Over and Out, Robin Grossman

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Robin! She has taken wonderful care of our two miniature dachshunds, Ana and Sochi, and has truly become part of their routine. Robin is always professional, punctual, and her communication skills are top-notch—we really appreciate the regular updates and adorable photos she sends. Not only does she do weekly hour-long walks with our girls (which they absolutely love!), but she has also stayed at our home for overnight house sitting. Knowing Ana and Sochi are safe, happy, and well cared for while we’re away brings us so much peace of mind. We can’t recommend Robin highly enough! ❤️

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Providing exercise • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • My home, venue, etc.

My friend who stayed at my place referred me to Robin who she’s friends with from Thumbtack to house sit and walk my dogs at the last minute Robin was great with my dogs and took good care of our place. I feel blessed and thankful for my friend to have referred her especially it was last minute for work and needed her to spend time with one of my dogs which she did for both as well. I highly refer her to anyone who needs a dog sitter for any animal and fell safe that she will stay at your place and she can be trusted to me this is very important.

Robin is a wonderful petsitter! She was very patient with my timid pup. Thanks to her consistent kindness and care, he now gets excited when he sees her. She sends me several updates throughout the visit and is incredibly attentive to him. Definitely recommend!

Teddy is wonderful and an absolute joy to visit. I love that he knows "go potty" means go outside and do his business. On command! I'm continually shocked that it works. LOL. You are very lucky to have found this little fluffy gem.

Robin is wonderful, and exactly what you look for in a pet sitter: does what she says she will, likes to be prepared, is extremely thorough, and has a natural way with animals that is apparent the second you meet her. I’ve had bad past experiences with other pet sitters from certain other online services that made me hesitate to try again, but Robin is a true professional. I could tell my cat was comfortable and I would absolutely have her pet sit again. Bonus: she sends tons of great photos!
