About: New customers get $20 off first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/tinay36247 I've had two dogs, three cats and worked at a non-profit animal shelter for a number of years. I love animals of all kinds and am excited to take care of your family member! I generally only take one furry friend at a time so that they get my unlimited attention, however, if from same family, I can take more than one. Please message me. During the weekends, I am always at home and around the neighborhood. We have several great dog parks around the neighborhood. If you do not see any available days, please message me and I will be glad to work with you! My schedule can be flexible and adjusted to suit your needs. I have a fenced in backyard and will be sure to always be available to play with and accompany your pet. I will send pictures and videos to update you while you are away. I am responsible and can administer medication if needed. I would love to meet with you and your pet(s) first before you make a decision on a sitter. During that time, we can discuss all of your pet's needs, eating schedule, bathroom schedule, etc...No play will be unsupervised.
“Samantha was so great with Ofelia. I have a moody cat and she was so patient and sweet to her. She would be on time every visit and send me pictures every single time. Quick to respond and super responsable. She even went above and beyond on many other things. Can’t recommend her enough 🫶🏼🐱”
About: I have had over 7 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, as well as dog-sitting/walking for family and friends, so I decided to take my skills and passion for dogs to Rover. I have also recently fostered and trained a one year old (and 80 pound untrained) foster puppy at college this past year! I am such an attentive, responsive, and caring dog lover and will always adapt to owners’ requests! This summer I will be freshly graduated from college, waiting to start my full time job in August, so my schedule is completely free and I am available to take care of your pups round the clock!!! I have a couple weekend trips planned here and there but my summer schedule is otherwise wide open! I am super respectful of the property and privacy of other’s I have dog and cat set for numerous friends and family before and will always leave your space cleaner than I left it! As someone who has hired and used dog-sitters in the past, I understand how much trust it takes to allow someone else to take care of your precious pup, so I will be sure to keep a constant line of communication about how your dog is doing whether it’s just me letting them out to go to the bathroom or a full dog-sitting stay!

“Diane walked our 10 year old Husky for the first time today. He’s 80lbs of fluff and we knew he was well taken care of when we came home to his happy calm state. Seeing the photos made us feel comfortable that he was in the best of hands. We look forward to having Diane walk Bruno once again.”

About: I grew up with dogs (big dogs) and have always played an active role in raising them. I have experience being a primary caregiver for dogs recovering from surgery. My parents have always relied on me to walk and feed the dog and I have always made sure my pets are a top priority in my life. Additionally, I'm a step parent to my roommate's wonderful cat. I help care for her when my roommate is busy and we love playing together and cuddling. I'm a senior college student, so my class schedule is pretty easy to work around. I cannot be available Wednesday nights or tuesday/Thursday afternoons. Overall, I have a very open and flexible schedule. In your home I will be keeping a close eye on your pet and be very professional.

“I cannot tell you enough how much Ms.Sanguedolce helped our family out in the Summer of 2021.

“Lily is loving and caring with all animals. Our dog Alice is always happy to see her and loves it when Lily takes her for a walk. She is very conscientious about leashes and safety, as well as picking up Alice's poop when they are walking. Alice broke her leg, and Lily is the person I trusted most to make sure she had short walks, took her pills, and had a treat tray in her crate before Lily left. I also trust her to get Alice to and from her doggie daycare on time. She is reliable, conscientious and attentive with Alice.”
