“Savannah was excellent! I appreciated how thorough she was and how she put so much care and intention into caring for my dog, Yuki! We scheduled a meet and greet beforehand so that we could go over some details and get acclimated with each other. On the day of the walk, she followed all of the instructions and sent some cute photos from the walk. Will definitely be working with Savannah again soon!”

Some days I can do nights as well! I live in an apartment. My dogs and I go for walks and to the neighborhood dog park most days. We like to spend our time outdoors!

About: I am very experienced in pet sitting dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs in their own homes. I have been pet sitting for 19 years. I am a full-time online graduate student and work while in school. Working on schoolwork from home allows me the flexibility to visit pet households and create a routine if needed. I only watch animals in their own homes for their best interest/comfort. I find that most animals prefer being in their own homes while their owners are away.

Gateway dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.
Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!
