Who Is SitWalkStay?


Robin and Monika

Robin Remmick grew up in the country near Estacada surrounded by dogs, cats and horses. Her pets have accompanied her as a career in arts management led her from Portland to Southern Oregon to Boston and back to Portland. She launched SitWalkStay in 2006, with the goal of doing what she loves the most: caring for animals.

Ross and Grace

Robin is the chief dog-walker and pet-sitter at SitWalkStay, occasionally assisted by her husband Ross McKeen, who spends most of his time as an arts administrator. Django Robin and Ross have adopted several retired greyhounds over the last 20 years. Currently the top dog in their lives is Django, a two-year-old Silken Windhound who appreciates having two humans to wait on him.

SitWalkStay contracts with Nicole Kellogg of On-Call Pet Services to provide backup support as needed. Nicole Nicole has volunteered with small independent rescue groups as well as larger organizations, including the Oregon Humane Society and Best Friends Animal Society. Her volunteer experience includes outreach events, animal enrichment, and mentoring new dog walking volunteers. She is currently working on her “level one” certification in dog training, using Chris Bach’s “The Third Way” method.

SitWalkStay is insured and bonded.
