Dog Mama, Vet Tech, Animal Lover

Hello Everyone! My name is Arlene! I have years of experience working in the vet field in California. I have been working with animals since I was 16. I absolutely love it! My passion is caring for all animals. I love pet sitting during my free time or taking my dogs out on adventures. I have some pups of my own all up to date on vaccines and Friendly :) I prefer to pet sit at my house that way I can watch your pup at all times. I have a fenced yard for your pup to come play!! If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me anytime! Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! :)

Thank you so much! She is absolutely the best. I really appreciate her being available last minute—it made such a huge difference. My pup was so well taken care of, and I could tell she gave Duke lots of love and attention. Reliable, kind, and caring—I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend!!!

Arlene is amazing with Tucker! He doesn’t let people get that close to him and he let her cuddle him while I was gone. She went above and beyond! Thank you!

Arlene was amazing with Frito! She took great care of him for 4 days, including exercise and giving his daily meds without any issues. Frito came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away—made me feel totally at ease. Highly recommend and would definitely book again

Advising me if your pet has any special behaviors towards other people or dogs. I’m very comfortable administering any medications your pet might. Also if your pet is fully vaccinated or not is also pretty important to know ahead of time so I can accommodate any situations.
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.
