About Robin Bello:

I am a responsible, reliable, and hard-working elementary school teacher living in the Charleston, SC area. Your home, pets, and plants will be treated with the utmost care by me.  Travel is my passion, and  I would love the opportunity to see some other places - both inside and outside the US.  I have visited Venezuela several times, took a group of high school students to Spain, and did house/pet sitting assignments in Normandy, France and Hungerford, England - so I do have some out-of-country experience.   I am fluent in Spanish, and I'm familiar with several other languages.  Languages are also a passion for me, and I seem to pick them up fairly quickly.  I am available all summer,  the  third week in April, and during the December holidays. For locations within 25 miles of my home, I am available year round.  Thank you!  I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Robin and her daughters, Ashley and Anna were great house sitters. They provided caring and attentive care for our beloved Daisy. Shortly after we left Robin noticed a ruptured cyst on Daisy's side. She immediately contacted us and we worked out a plan to get Daisy checked out by our vet. Robin followed our vet's order to the letter, dispensed meds, and doctored the site. When a second rupture occurred Anna contacted us right away. We received daily updates on Daisy's healing and pictures of their daily neighborhood walks. It was comforting to know all was being handled during our three week time away. Our home was in good order when we returned and Robin checked in to make sure all was in place. We would not hesitate to have the Bello family stay in our home again and care for Daisy.

Robin and her daughters Anna and Ashley were terrific house-sitters--very reliable and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed meeting with them before and after our trip, and greatly appreciated Anna's willingness to go above and beyond and help to resolve a problem that had to be dealt with while we were gone. All three are very experienced as house- and pet-sitters and we would recommend them highly.

Robin was a superb and attentive house and pet sitter for us! She literally left our home and dog in better condition than when we left. She was great communicating with us while we were traveling with regular photos of our Chihuahua and frequent updates on mail and other house management issues. We can't say enough about her attention to detail and extra care she brought to our assignment. I highly recommend Robin and would use her again anytime!
