Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and caring for pets through Rover allows me to share my love and experience while helping pet parents. I work from home in a tech company and spend most of my day on my laptop, with my workspace set up so the dogs I sit can always be nearby. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and at night or during feeding times I keep them comfortable in their pen or crate. The rest of the time, they’re free to walk, play, and keep me company. I also enjoy taking them on 15–30 minute walks, and since I live near a park, it’s easy to add fun outdoor time into their routine. Including pet care in my day brings me joy and purpose—whether it’s through walks, playtime, or simply spending time together.

Loving Dog Mom of 25 Years

Pet care experience

With over 25 years of experience, I care for every dog as if they were my own. My journey began with a rescued golden retriever and grew into years of showing champion Shih Tzus, running a pet hotel and grooming salon, and raising 14 beloved dogs. I’ve also adopted cats and fostered abandoned dogs in the Philippines, giving each one a second chance at a happy life. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, having lovingly supported my own into their golden years—some lived to 18 and 19. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs special care, I bring patience, love, and a lifetime of experience to every visit.

Alma is the best! She’s takes such good care of Coco—always making her feel at home and sending so many pictures throughout her stay.

Alma is one of the best sitters that we've had. She is very thoughtful and kind and cares for Radha a lot. She understood Radha’s routine, worked around it, and was working well to ensure that Radha stays comfortable and her communication is top-notch. She provides timely updates with pictures. Alma would be the gold standard for it. We really appreciate Alma and the care that she provided and would definitely love to ask her to sit and take care of Radha in the future

Alma is amazing. She is provided timely communication with photos. We told her that our puppy isn’t used to sleeping alone in a room and she went above and beyond to accommodate Radha in her room. She understands puppy mind and works around that. We will definitely recommend Alma for caring for your dog.

Alma was great! Sent lots of pics and videos and even gave both of the doggies a bath before I came to pick them up. They had a great time at Alma's, would definitely recommend!
