“Robyn thank you so much for our time yesterday. It was so wonderful to connect with my precious kitty. I didn’t know what to expect but I came away feeling so much better. Happy to know she is content and happily exploring her new state of being. I laughed to hear her say “later gator” when I said goodbye. During our earth time together I would often give her a hug and tell her… “see you later alligator” as I headed out the door to run errands. It was both wonderful and amazing to know she remembered that. Thanks again to your Dad and all of our spiritual teams for working together to give me some precious time with kitty.” — Joe’ni Jones
“A couple of weeks ago I found myself in a crisis with my elderly dog. I had known for some time that she was approaching the end of her life, the only questions were when and how. She had no disease process that any vet could determine, she was just suffering from the inescapable ravages of old age. She had good days and bad ones; up until that day, the good ones seemed to outnumber the bad.
“I awoke after a particularly difficult and restless night with her and felt with some certainty that the moment of decision had arrived. Should I help her make the transition with euthanasia or did I allow her to die naturally? I believe that my relationship with a companion animal is a kind of sacred trust. I wanted to do what was best for her, what she would tell me she wanted if I could hear her. By some little miracle I found Robyn Fritz. I called her that morning and told her what was going on, asked for an emergency session.
“Robyn was so kind, loving and compassionate. She told me she’d check in with Sasha and call me back in an hour. She confirmed what I had been feeling: that my beautiful girl was exhausted, her organs were starting to shut down and, although she could die on her on in a short time, and there was no suffering involved, she was fine with some assistance. I knew in my heart that Robyn was right. She was such a shining light for me that day, helped me find the courage to take the steps needed to do the right thing for this wonderful creature who had brought such love and joy to my life for 12-1/2 years. Robyn even called later in the day to see how we were both doing.
“There is nothing easy about saying goodbye to a precious dog whom I have loved so much for so many years. But Robyn’s loving, steady presence and wise demeanor carried me through the day and helped me do what Sasha needed me to do, with peace in my heart.” – Midge J.
“Robyn helped a lost dog survive six days in the snow, led us to her shelter, and convinced her to come home. You can bet the dog got the Chicken McNuggets she asked for! Robyn also told us how a lost dog died. And she’s helped us through issues with showing dogs and helping a pack get along. Thanks!” Linda in California
“I really can’t thank Robyn enough for the session with our cats. She has gone WELL beyond the level of support I was expecting. Our sessions with other intuitives were NEVER this thorough, nor did they include such wonderful follow-up. She has given us a solid foundation from which to take the first step towards helping our cats be happy. Rather than finishing the session and saying, “OK, good luck!” she has continued to make everything much clearer via her wonderful emails, and we so very much appreciate that.” Jenn in West Seattle
ANIMAL COMMUNICATION SERVICES: ILL, DYING, TRANSITION
These days I only work with multi-species families when they are facing a serious illness, the possible death and transition of a beloved animal, and the death itself. That’s because I love animals and their families, and I know that no one else offers the depth of service and connection that I offer in this area. That’s not arrogance: it’s fact.
Our goal as humans: to live with our animal families in practical, mystical ways that acknowledge the complex lives we all lead while respecting and supporting individual needs and rights.
The Human-Animal Bond: Our Multi-species Families
These days most of us who live with animals consider them to be family members. Years ago, when I first started writing about this, considering animals to be family members with the same rights and responsibilities as the human family members was as controversial as it was heartwarming.
Today the idea of the human-animal bond as a family dynamic is thriving. Still, creating families with animals is, in some ways, much harder than with humans because, of course, they aren’t human—they are animals, with unique species-related issues and concerns. That’s why it’s so important to have clear communication on both sides, and why animal communication has become mainstream.
We all talk with our animals every day, and we actually communicate quite well with them: we know when they want to play, eat, go out, don’t feel well, or want us to switch TV channels (okay, not everyone lives with a dog like my Murphy, who (weirdly) adored sumo wrestling, but you get the idea). However, we sometimes wish we understood them better. And they wish we would really, truly listen to them. As in, hear them talk back.
That’s where an animal communicator can help you and your animal family by taking connecting with animals up a notch. Animal communication is telepathic, or mind-to-mind connection that helps us create a deeper relationship with our animals, including understanding and resolving issues. It is not a substitute for common sense, training, or veterinary care. It is, and can be, useful and inspiring as it helps us deepen our connection to our animal families.
Of course, we are all intuitive, and we can all learn to talk with our animals on our own. I have webinars on how to do that, and I encourage everyone to learn to use animal communication in their daily lives with animals. It’s fun, useful, and sometimes life-saving. Honestly, it is not that hard.
However, there are times when it’s a good idea to hire an objective outsider, an animal communication professional, to help you talk with your animal.
Here is how I help you deal with your animals as together you face their illness, dying, and transition.
- Explore what you have to say to each other about these difficult, heartbreaking issues while clearing away confusion and doubt.
- Explore an animal’s health issues (information that you must share with your veterinarian).
- End-of-life issues: helping you and your animal say goodbye, from diagnosis to death: pet loss is difficult. I’ve been there. My deceased dad, Ray, helps with this.
- Energy healing: included in sessions, it helps animals move closer to fulfilling their unique soul purpose. I am a Reiki Level 3 practitioner and alchemical energy healing with my crystal partner, Fallon, the Citrine Lemurian Quartz.

What My Animal Communication and Energy Healing Services Offer
I started my animal communication practice years ago: like most of us who live with animals, I wanted to know what my animal family was thinking. Over the years my practice evolved into deepening the human-animal bond by facilitating both practical and mystical connections between people and their multi-species families—the animals we live with as family members.
Why? Because people often mistake their animals for animal totems, or expect more than any animal, or human, can possibly give. Does the phrase “animals are our healers and teachers” give you pause? It should. Animals are first and foremost just like us—they are souls who have chosen that body to learn and grow. We can do that together in families, but we shouldn’t expect our animals to be gurus. While some animals have signed up for cosmic or mystical jobs, just like we do, they are first and foremost our family members. Being a family member should always come first.
For example, too often people dismiss an animal’s illness or behavior as “mirroring,” assuming the animal is simply reflecting their human’s worries or issues. While this is normal in families, dismissing an issue as “mirroring” devalues the real needs, insecurities, and concerns that our animals have (yes, just like we have).

What to Expect in an Animal Communication Session
Animal Communication Sessions for Illness, Dying, and Transition
It’s excruciating to deal with a serious illness and/or the potential death and transition of a beloved animal. Here’s some tips to help you prepare for a session with me and your beloved.
- Spend a few minutes sitting quietly to relax and to clear your mind.
- Write a brief description of the animal: name, species, gender, age, general appearance, where you and the animal live. Please no pictures unless asked.
- Write a brief description of the household members involved, human and animal: name, gender, age, concerns.
- Write down the specific question/observations you have for your animal. Keep it brief.
- Be sure to tell your animals that you have asked them to speak with me, and tell them who I am. Some animals will not speak unless their people first agree. However, avoid paternalism: they are independent beings, and can make their own decisions about talking with people, and will, which can provide a lot of insight. Quite often animals show up to talk with me all on their own.
- We will set a specific date and time for this work.
- At the end of the session, you must directly thank your animal for participating, just as you would thank any human.
- Afterwards, cleansing such as dry salt bathing helps. (To dry bathe, put out a bowl of fresh water with a handful of sea salt, and run your arms down your body and shake your hands toward the salt water; afterwards, pour the salt down the drain or into a bare spot in your yard.)
- Give yourself a break. It’s tough.
LOST ANIMALS: SOME TIPS
I no longer do lost animal consultations. Below are some things you can do to help you and your animal reunite.
- Calm down, clear your head, take some deep breaths.
- Do something to make yourself visible to your animal: for example, put a white light around yourself and ask it to shine brightly, then ask your animal to look for the light and try to follow it if it wants to come home. Keep the light burning with love and acceptance. Be brave.
- Ask your animal’s spirit guides and your own to protect and support all of you. They will anyway, but you’ll feel better.
- Apologize if you have done something that upset your animal.
- Assure your animal that you may be angry and upset, but that’s emotional: you want it to come home, you are looking for it, and you love it unconditionally. If that’s not true, let the animal go so it is free to find a home somewhere else.
- Appease your animal: get out and look for it, take a favorite toy or treat along with you, and talk to your animal. Don’t care what other people think: your animal is probably watching, gauging your behavior, as nervous and upset as you are. Meet it halfway.
- Start the search: check the house and neighborhood, ask neighbors to help, post signs, check local websites, vets, rescue groups, and shelters. Only stop searching when you have answers—or give up.
- Regardless of the outcome, you must thank your animal for being part of your family and honor its decision.
