Pet care experience

I have many years of experience taking care of and enjoying my furry, feathered, and reptile friends, and also those of my neighbors, family members, and clients on Rover. I understand how valuable they are as a precious member of your family. When I worked in a senior living community, I would bring my dog in to do his tricks for the residents, and they loved it! I’m currently working part-time from home, and will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Each home and dog has different needs and schedules, and I will meet them accordingly. I have experience administering medicine and tending to wounds if needed when you’re away. I have past volunteer experience working at Wild Things in Salinas (now named Monterey Zoo) I have a crazy alligator story I will share with you if you ask. 😊 I also worked at the Monterey County SPCA, and I would help in the assessment of the behaviors/temperaments of the dogs that were brought in. It was hard for me, because I wanted all of them to go to loving homes, but in most cases, that did not happen. I wanted to rescue every one of those beautiful dogs and cats that had a short time left. Please, spay and neuter your pet. I also have a passion for horses, and I would ride for hours with my sister. I have enjoyed my pets and especially dogs over the years. They are such great companions and family members! Hope to hear from you soon.

Dalene was wonderful. Attentive and timely. I will definitely partner with Dalene again for all of our fur baby care.

Dalene was wonderful with Rio. She was on time, followed Rio’s schedule and was very communicative through messages. She took Rio on long walks which he enjoyed thoroughly! Thanks Dalene 💖

Dalene has cared for my German Shepherd many times, she's very reliable and caring. She loves my dog like her own and listens/follows through with all of my special instructions. Thank you Dalene! You're the only dog sitter I'd ever have.

Information Dalene K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your dog’s daily routine is, and how he behaves around other dogs when we are out on a walk.

A typical day

I will walk and play with your dog, and give your dog the much needed attention while you are away. I also enjoy teaching dogs to sit, lay down, shake, speak and come etc... let me know if your dog needs to learn commands!
