About: I have cared for my coworker’s small dog and 2 cats over a long weekend (2 nights and three days). Pixie and I went for walks, and I made sure her food and water bowls were refilled and fresh and clean daily. I also kept the yard clean after her potty breaks! I am available for evening visits during the week and weekend, when you are in a pinch and need someone to take your dog for a walk and have a potty break. I am typically available weekday evenings after 5. I am available to travel to your home and care for your sweet pup where they feel most safe and comfortable! I can make sure your small dog is well-fed, walked, played with, and feels comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive, gentle, and always follow specific routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe, cared for, and loved.
“This was my first time using Rover for my 3 cats. 2 cats need medication. Yadi was responsible for 2 automatic litter boxes and 1 regular litter box, food, meds, and 2 water fountains. I was very pleased with her communication for every visit. I’ve already asked to rebook her!”
About: I have been caring for pets for nearly all my life. From cats and dogs to rodents and eveything in-between, I feel comfortable taking care of all animals at any age. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am-3pm but I am available after 3pm and overnight on weekdays. Weekends I'm entirely available during the day and overnight. I am unable to care for pets in my home but I can take care of your pets in your home. I love playing with pets in a backyard or taking dogs for walks.
“We reached out to Dayana on short notice and she jumped right in to help! She took wonderful care of our big guy and sent pictures of him on every visit! We arrived home to happy pup and a tidy space. Dayana’s communication was always fast and friendly. We had a great time on vacation knowing Sam was being well taken care of :))))”
About: I treat every pet like my own, with attention to detail and a calm, nurturing presence. Whether your dog needs extra cuddle time, slow walks for senior joints, or fun enrichment games to burn energy, I customize my care to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. I am currently working full time. I am 29 year old single and with no children just me and my pup. I enjoy being around animals a lot so I decided hey, why not help those who may need a hand with their fur babies :) my schedule changes weekly, so I will be changing my availability weekly here as well.

She has never met a pet that didn't become a friend to her immediately. When we lived close to each other she was always my first choice when asking someone to pet sit for me because I know they would be very well taken care of. Any specific instructions that were left were followed to a T, she would make sure to ask questions before doing anything that I or my dogs might not be ok with. She has cared for puppies and kittens as well as senior animals that needed special treatment. For anyone that wants to have there pet treated like a family member by someone when you're not able to be there Vanessa is the person you want!”
