HISTORY
2 sisters, a log cabin and 50 acres.  Such was the beginning of
Robinwood Kennel.  After buying the land in 1956 when Cold
Spring was still mostly rural, Margaret and Ann Robinson, two
single sisters from Fort Thomas, soon began keeping the pets of
their friends for short periods of time.  This trend continued and by
1970, Robinwood Kennel officially opened.  Aided by their
nephew, Joe, the kennel soon became the premier boarding
facility in Campbell County and continued to grow in size and
services.

Today Robinwood Kennel has maintained the same commitment
to service and value as when the Robinson sisters began.  
Although both Margaret and Ann have since passed on, the kennel
is still owned and operated by their  nephew Joe, and additionally
staffed by Joe's wife Carol and sister Peggy.



While at Robinwood, your dog will enjoy an indoor/outdoor run
which is 3 feet wide by 15 feet long (5 feet long on the inside and
10 feet long on the outside).  Each dog is separated from all the
others by chain link fencing both inside and outside, and an
additional small concrete block "half wall" on the inside
provides safety and privacy while eating and sleeping.   Each dog
has his/her own access to his/her own outdoor run via a doggy
door which is kept open weather permitting.  For those who need
more sniffing and stretching space and/or for those with extended
stays, there is a large grassy, "exercise yard" which is rotated
among our guests.  In addition, walks or  nature hikes can be
provided, if requested, for a minimal fee.  (Please rest assured,
however, that even if you don't request it but we feel that your pet
needs a walk/hike for optimal health and well being, we will walk
him/her free of charge, regardless of whether or not you requested
it.)  When the weather is cold, kennel doors are kept closed, the
furnace is turned on, and the dogs are let out several times
throughout the day.  In order to prevent fights, aggression and other
behavioral issues that could turn physical,  no two dogs are ever
permitted to be together on the inside or outside unless the
owner specifically requests it.   Safety, health,
happiness, and peace of mind are the
three most important things we  provide
for you and your pet


Robinwood's accommodations for cats include our "Cat House"
building separate from the dog boarding facilities.  Other small
pets can also stay in this building.   Each cat has his/her own 3
feet wide by 3 feet high by 4 feet deep cage with a higher shelf
for relaxing.  Fun objects such as mobiles, toys, and several
windows provide  stimulation to keep your cat satisfied.  Why, on
many occasions, your cat might just catch a glimpse of  one of
the horses strolling by in the nearby corral!

ROBINWOOD'S ADVANTAGES
  • Country setting / natural environment in a convenient
    location (5 minutes from NKU;  15 minutes from
    downtown Cinti;   20 minutes from Anderson;   on the way
    to the airport;  etc.)

  • Qualified, Experienced, Stable  Staff with over 30 years of
    experience.  Since this is a family business, Joe and his
    wife Carol actually live right next to the kennel so your pet
    is never far from immediate attention, day or night!

  • "Hominess" in the way of  shady grounds, summer
    breezes, grass in the exercise yard, the sights and
    sounds of  nieces and nephew children playing on the
    grounds outside the kennel, and our own pets(4 dogs, 1
    cat, and 2 horses) romping and sniffing in the
    surrounding areas.  All these amenities give your pet a
    sense of "home" and normal life activities.  According to
    those dogs and cats we've asked, this is much preferred
    over sterile, clinical, stainless steel indoor cages and
    kennels where a pet can feel scared.  After all, would you
    like to spend your vacation in a hospital?


At Robinwood, it's simple:  We love animals
and our goal is to give you peace of mind in knowing that your
pet is receiving the best possible care.
