Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Andy! I cannot wait to spend some quality time with your dog. I am a lifelong dog lover and currently have a sweet Chihuahua mix named Choco. We adopted Choco into our family when we found her as a lost puppy at the park and nobody claimed her. Everyone that meets Choco falls in love with her because she is so friendly. Home full time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. My home, in Chula Vista, near Chula Vista High School and Bonita Christian School, is a cozy single family home that I share with my parents and sister, who all enjoy caring for visiting dogs as well. My yard is fully fenced and provides additional space for us to play fetch, tug-of-war or just relax. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 45 lbs. Having undergone advance screening, I have been met in-perosn by a company rep, and my home has been inspected. Why I love dog sitting I've always had dogs since I was a baby. My first dog was Mimi, who lived 16 years. Mimi's puppy, Chiquita, was also a big part of my childhood for 15 years. My current dog, Choco, is 8 years old and is my main joy now. Growing up with dogs is what made me a dog lover. About my yard My backyard is fully fenced-in, with plenty of grassy areas as well as a covered patio. My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable giving oral medications to your dog.

Everything went good with Andy. He did reply fast which I appreciate. The only concern I had was that I had initially booked for a service he offered, dog boarding and upon booking him he asked if he was required to spend the night. I've booked with Rover multiple times in the past and had great experiences with hosts who spent the night so I did feel very misled. It was an emergency so I really had no choice at that point since I was already on the road. My advice to Andy is to take down the option for customers to book for dog boarding if he doesn't offer that and only does in-home visits & daycare. I am however grateful that our Chloe was well when we got home which is all I really cared about. Just a bummed that we spent that much for what we thought would be 24 hour supervision.

As a market representative for Sleepover Rover, I had the privilege to meet with Andy and his adorable dog, Choco, in their beautiful home in Chula Vista. Andy has a genuine love for dogs and his sweet relationship with Choco warmed my heart. Andy's home is welcoming and his backyard is spacious for lots of doggie play time. Paved sidewalks line his neighborhood streets for lots of exercise and there is a beautiful park nearby that Andy likes to visit. Andy has a tender heart and so much love to give. Any dog would feel right at home and extremely loved in Andy's care.

Andy has a very calming and relaxing way about him. He may be on the quiet side but it is very evident that he really loves dogs! His own dog Choco is his buddy and both of them welcome dog guests!
