Flexible Dog walker/Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Danna Villar. I have been working as a dog sitter for about 4 years now. This is currently my main source of employment while I am exploring a career change. Animals are my life! Growing up, my family always had dogs, and my love for them has grown into adulthood even more. From pet sitting to long or short walks, boarding, and, of course, taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! My main option right now is dog boarding, but I also do drop-ins and house sitting! I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a fenced dog park. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. I am flexible on the schedule and can work around your pup's needs.

Only got one photo (and the one that I got my dog was in a car) for the whole weekend. When we got home home my dog quickly pooped (a really big one) and peed. My dog is pretty regular (with her bowel movements) and if she gets a walk she will definitely poop which made me wonder how many walks she got over the weekend. Will not be using her again.

Very happy and comfy stay for my dog Coda! Danna was great with her and accepting of all quirks. Thank you!

We had trouble reaching Danna through the rover app, but once we shared numbers we were able to stay more consistently communicated. Danna took care of Carlo as instructed, and sent sporadic pictures on how he was doing. There wasn't any issues during Carlo's stay, and we were told he was very easy to tend to. He looks like he had a great time with her, and didn't have anything missing for his daily routine.

Unfortunately, our experience with Danna was not as hoped and we will not be using her again. At pickup time, which I had confirmed with Danna hours earlier, she told me she had lost her keys and had Fiona with her while she was looking for them, but when I asked her if I could come pick Fiona up from wherever she was she stopped replying to my messages. Meanwhile, the location of Fiona’s AirTag was always at Danna’s apartment. She then told me they would be home in 10 min, and when I called her phone was off. I then saw her walk into the building 30 min later with a male friend and not Fiona. When I picked Fiona up, she immediately lied about having dropped Fiona off before going to get her keys from her friend’s house (while I had been waiting outside the whole time trying to pick her up.) Not sure how that could have happened if she didn’t have her keys? Even more concerning was that Fiona was visibly extremely stressed and had to pee/poop immediately on the sidewalk outside the building before we could even get to the grass. This made me wonder if she even spent the night with her. I then got home and the entire container of food I had left for her meals on Saturday and Sunday was untouched. I felt horribly that my poor dog was not cared for as expected the whole weekend while I was out of town. She was very shaken up and on edge for the remainder of the day. We have had wonderful sitters through rover, but sadly this was not one of them. Please beware when leaving your dog with Danna overnight.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has a dog park that is fenced in and made with fake grass, so no muddy paws and fur. Safety is my number-one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay.

Information Danna V. would like to know about your pet

Any needs the dog may have. I accept most breeds as long as they are NOT aggressive with other animals! I do require all dogs be current on their vaccinations.

A typical day

There is a dog park right next to us. It’s huge and the perfect spot to get the energy out, so lots of running around and play time. Running the trails and swimming in a lake will happen if your dog likes that. If your dog is less active, I can bring our activity level to where they are most happy and comfortable.
