Safety, trust & environment

I am certified by The American Red Cross in First Aid for Pets. Should an emergency arise, I am able to provide aid to the pets until a veterinarian can see them. I have a fully fenced large back yard and a fully fence front yard. Dogs will not be allowed outside by themselves. Plenty of room to run and play. We have a small sweet cavalier king charles that is super gentle and smart. It’s good for her to have canine company once in a while. We allow them on the furniture and can sleep in the room with us if they want. My priority is to keep them safe and happy while you are away.

Information Ada B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs or behavioral issues ahead of time. We can accommodate most dogs with special needs. Dogs must be vaccinated and must have a veterinarian in case of any emergency.

A typical day

Dogs will get daily walks around the neighborhood. They will be allowed to play in our backyard under our supervision. We have lots of toys and they will get daily exercise and mental stimulation. My husband and I love dogs, so if they allow, they will get lots of cuddles .If you allow, they will get only healthy treats that we keep for our dog. We like to take our dog to the park and walk around. If you allow, they can have an outing depending on the weather.

Pet care experience

I was raised with multiple dogs of different breeds. I’ve had German Shepherds, Rottweiler, Doberman, Great Dane, Chihuahua, Poodles and Cavalier King Charles dogs throughout my life.I love dogs. Now that I am retired I can watch them and care for them with love and responsibility. I am very attached to my dog and take the best care of her like I will do for your dog.

I could not have asked for better care for my dog! Ada, her husband, and her sweet Molly went completely above and beyond to care for my little man! She knew I was nervous leaving him with someone as he is an older dog and she did everything to calm my nervous, sent me adorable updates, and took great care of Finn. I highly recommend her & will definitely be using her services again ❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
