Pet care experience

Dog Mama, Vet Tech, Animal Lover

Hello! I’m Arlene, and I’ve been working with animals since I was 16! I have several years of experience in the veterinary field in California, and caring for animals has always been a huge passion of mine ❤️ I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddle time, or sticking to their daily schedule, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. Since recently moving to Missouri, I’m currently focusing on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks rather than boarding. I love caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay relaxed and keep their normal routine. I have dogs of my own who are friendly and up to date on all vaccinations, and my veterinary experience allows me to recognize changes in a pet’s health or behavior should any concerns arise. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

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

Schedule

Caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I have dogs of my own, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of attention. I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive reliable, loving care and their routines stay as consistent as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in the comfort of their own home by following their normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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.
