Information Amina E. would like to know about your pet

Any breed is good I would like to know the dogs habits, what time he eats, is there a certain toy he likes, how many times a day and how often does he pee and poop. The commands he understands.

A typical day

I will find a park close to the house where I am dog-sitting. I can play with a tennis ball, which most dogs like. I will play with cats with their toys, as well, and will take direction from their parents. Sometimes, we develop new games to play with each other.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and I really LOVE dogs.and cats. I’ve been dog and cat sitting for more than 30 years. I am available and flexible. I have several recommendation letters that I would be happy to provide. I took care of Golden Retrievers, Labradors, German Shepherds, Maltese/Shitzu, Maltipoo and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I love any breed of dogs and they love me. I have administered medication orally and by injections. I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs. I’ve also taken care of Dashell, who was a golden retriever and was blind in one eye. When I see a dogs in the street I get a big smile on my face. I also have a seven year old puppy. Her name is Snowy. She is a Maltitzu and she is my heart!

Amina did a fantastic job with my little guy! She was very attentive to him and made sure he was well loved while I was out of town. She left my home in good condition. I would definitely book with Amina again.

Amina is one of the kindest Rover Sitters I have ever met! She was always in touch. She took such great care of my baby while I was away. I am so grateful I found her! Would definitely recommend.

Amina was the best Rover we have ever had! Our dog is a very finicky eater and she was able to get him to eat. No small feat. She stayed in touch, was so great with the house and with max. She really loves dogs. Conscientious, considerate and responsible! Our house was built in the 1940’s and has lots of quirks she handled them no problem. Would highly, highly, highly recommend!

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.
