Pet care experience
Pawsome Pal for Your Pup!
*Get $20 off your very first booking on Rover with this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/drivas I'm a proud pet parent to a 2-year-old Lab/Pit mix who's just as sweet as pie! My journey with her began during my fostering days with a local animal rescue, a role I embraced with open arms. Tasked with nurturing an abandoned mother and her adorable litter of 8, I honed my skills in patience, love, and the gentle art of puppy care. My home became a sanctuary for two of these pups, providing round-the-clock care until one happily trotted off to their forever home. Throughout this experience, I mastered the intricacies of handling multiple dogs, from the joys of potty training to managing their playful energy. But my expertise doesn’t stop at puppy care. I've developed a knack for understanding canine body language and cues, ensuring a safe and happy environment for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I'm adept at catering to the unique needs of each dog, recognizing that like us, they have their own personalities and preferences. My commitment to your pet's well-being is unparalleled. I'm not just a sitter or a walker; I'm a devoted caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your furry family member feels loved, secure, and stimulated, both mentally and physically. Choose me as your dog's companion, and you're not just getting a caretaker — you're gaining a trusted ally in your pet's happiness and development.

Ratings and reviews
Analisa was an amazing pet sitter! We reached out to her just a couple of days before needing boarding, and she was kind enough to accommodate us for a meet and greet. She and her family were incredibly welcoming to both us and our dog, Harley, and made us feel comfortable leaving her in their care. Throughout the day, Analisa sent us plenty of pictures and videos, along with updates about how Harley was doing and how she was playing. We really appreciated the communication and knowing that Harley was having a great time! We would absolutely book with Analisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Analisa, for taking such great care of Harley! 🐾❤️
Analisa took such good care of our dog. She’s very attentive and loving, and sends video updates throughout the day, which is so cool. I highly recommend her to watch over your pups.
Meadow had SO MUCH FUN with Analisa for day care. I loved all of the pictures and videos and how communicative she was throughout the day. Meadow came home completely exhausted and went right to sleep.
We really appreciate Analisa and her family's great care of our two pups! She kept us consistently informed with how they were doing and did a great job with their medications and special needs. We will definitely book with Analisa again.
Analisa did a wonderful job boarding our dog. She was very caring and careful about introducing him to family members and other dogs at the house and shared many photos and updates throughout the weekend so that we knew he was doing well. We will absolutely be happy to use her for boarding and daycare again.
Harriet had a good day as she is napping right now. Analisa keeps her engaged and challenged. We are totally satisfied and have no qualms about leaving Harriet in her care

Schedule
As a dedicated work-from-home professional, my daily schedule is thoughtfully designed to integrate pet care seamlessly. The flexibility of my job allows me to take frequent breaks specifically for playtime, enriching walks, and timely feedings. This ensures that your beloved companion will enjoy regular attention and care throughout the day. What's more, my home office setup is pet-friendly, and I've arranged my workspace so I can always keep a watchful eye on your pet, ensuring they're safe and content. Whether it's a midday stroll to stretch their legs or a cozy cuddle session, I can readily adjust my activities to meet your dog's needs. My approach to pet care is interactive and hands-on. I believe in the importance of regular engagement and consider these moments with your pet as essential breaks for both of us. It's a perfect balance that not only breaks up my workday but also keeps your pet's tail wagging with happiness and health.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are the cornerstones of my pet care philosophy. In my home, your pet’s well-being is my utmost priority. I've taken steps to create a 'pawsitively' secure environment, ensuring all areas are pet-proofed against any potential hazards. This means safe play zones, secure fences, and no-access areas to anything that could harm your furry friend. My home is a haven of comfort and calm, designed to ease the anxiety some pets may feel in a new space. I maintain a clean, organized, and peaceful environment where your dog can relax, play, and explore without stress. Transparency is key, so I'm committed to providing regular updates and photos of your pet's stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. In entrusting your pet to my care, you're not just getting a sitter—you're gaining a vigilant guardian who values the trust you place in me to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe.
Pets
A typical day
Every day is a new adventure for the pets I watch, and I make sure it’s filled with fun and loving care. Our typical day starts with a warm greeting and a morning stretch, followed by a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or to the local park. This isn’t just a potty break; it’s a time filled with exploration and exercise. After our walk, we have breakfast and some quiet time. This allows for any food to settle and gives the pet a chance to relax before we kick off our activities. Mid-morning might involve some playtime in the backyard or living room, depending on the weather. We love fetch, tug-of-war, and interactive toys that challenge their minds and keep their tails wagging. Lunchtime is a relaxed affair, with another short walk to ensure they're comfortable and to aid digestion. Post-lunch, it's nap time or calm indoor play, especially for the pups that appreciate a good snooze or a gentle cuddle. In the afternoon, we ramp up again with more play — this could be agility fun in the yard or a trip to a dog-friendly area where they can socialize and run freely, always under my careful supervision. We might work on some basic training as well, turning treats into teaching moments. As the day winds down, we settle in for dinner, followed by a peaceful evening stroll. It's the perfect way to reflect on the day's fun and start winding down. Once we're back, it's relaxation and family time, where your pet is treated as part of my pack, getting all the belly rubs and affection they desire before bedtime. My goal is to keep your pet engaged, happy, and tired out from a day full of activities by the time they snuggle up for a good night's sleep.

- To ensure the most enjoyable and safe experience for your furry family member, there are several things I like to know in advance: Health History and Special Needs: Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or specific dietary restrictions? Are there any medications or special treatments I should administer? Behavior and Temperament: What is your pet’s personality like? How do they interact with other animals and people? Are there any quirks, fears, or triggers I should be aware of? Routine and Schedule: Pets thrive on routine. I’d love to know their usual schedule for meals, walks, and sleep, as well as their favorite ways to play and relax. Training and Commands: Are there specific commands your pet responds to? Any ongoing training regimens you’d like me to maintain or reinforce? Emergency Care Preferences: In the unlikely event of an emergency, having your preferred vet's contact information and knowing your wishes for emergency situations is vital. Contact Information: While you’re away, it’s important for me to have a way to reach you or someone you trust for any questions or updates about your pet’s well-being. The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor my care to fit exactly what they need and ensure they have a happy, comfortable stay. I’m here to accommodate any particular requirements and provide peace of mind that your pet is in loving, attentive hands.
