My name is Roben Kennedy, and years ago, with full support from my family, I decided to follow my passion and made caring for pets my full-time career. Since I had been pet sitting informally for family, friends & neighbors since my preteen years, it was an easy transition. I am fully insured through State Farm and I am a proud member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). I have lived in the same Northeast Fresno, CA (almost Clovis) neighborhood for over 25 years and have owned pets my entire life. Over the years our family has shared our lives with numerous dogs, birds, cats, rabbits, tropical fish, frogs, lizards and even pet rats.
My philosophy as a pet sitter & dog walker is that I am an extension of my human clients, which is the reason I call myself a Pet Concierge! Medications, special diets and reasonable care, exercise or training requests are never an issue. I truly love my pet clients like they are my own; I rejoice when pets get positive test results and I grieve when a pet leaves this world. I've taken pets to their veterinarian appointments for routine check-ups and have also had to do so for emergencies when the pet's owners were out of town!!! (Thank goodness I make sure every client completes & signs my client paperwork!)
I also welcome regular contact with folks while they are away; I'll text a cute photo or send a quick story to clients so they know their pet is doing well. With permission, I often post photos on our Instagram and Facebook pages as well. Whenever my clients return, they have written notes about their pet(s) activities and I include anything else important that may have happened while they were away. Of course anything I feel may be emergent is reported immediately! From something as simple as sprinklers flooding the yard, a swimming pool overflowing, or a pet is limping after we're done playing ball, I will contact the client ASAP. The health, safety and security of my clients homes and their pets is always my primary focus.
In my spare time, I enjoy working with our dogs in Conformation showing, Barn Hunt, Obedience, Agility & Trick Training & Tracking. We are currently owned by: Smokey (Rottweiler), Penny (Chocolate Labrador) and Jax (Standard Dachshund). Additional entertainment is provided by the "The Vultures" (aka our 5 parakeets), several freshwater aquariums with various types of animals & live plants and an outdoor pond with koi and goldfish.
My other hobbies include most anything to do with computers, crochet, crafts, sewing, photography, and DIY home improvement projects. But my favorite "hobby" is spending time with my family: Curt, my husband of 30 years, and being "Nanny" to my grand daughter and Mom to our adult children.
I look forward to having you and your pets becoming a part of my Pet Concierge family!
