Pet care experience

Pets are family & deserve my best!

I'm an animal lover- 🐶dogs and cats🐱 are my favorites, I must say, but I love and respect all animals.🐇🐀🐦🐢🐍🦎🐠 My family has most always had a dog ever since I was a child. I've always rescued animals to make my own or I've seen to it that they've moved on to a better home. (Our beloved DOG, Tazz, passed away in 2016. She was 17. Currently, we have our cute, rescue CAT, named Eli. Along with: •Zion, a Ball Python SNAKE, •Kipp, a Bearded Dragon LIZARD, and until recently, our Dumbo RAT, Greirat, who passed away.) So, it's not only my own pets I've cared deeply for, but others' pets and strays as well. I'm very attentive to details and I understand that the care of your pets is of utmost importance to you and therefore, no detail is too much. My work with Rover is FULL TIME; so, please grant me high consideration and the privileged opportunity to care for your pets almost as well as you do, so that you can be at peace and enjoy your free time or focus on what else is calling for your attention. Oh yes, when I say "your pets," let me know who else is staying home with the dogs or cats.🦓🐒🐘🐊🦏🐼🐳 I'm sure I can take care of them too, with instructions! Thank you, ~DD😊

Safety, trust & environment

I care for the pets according to the instructions that are given to me. If something comes up, I will ask how to handle it. If I can offer a suggestion based on my experiences, I may do so.

Schedule

Pet care services (drop ins or walks) is my full time job not a side hustle. Sometimes holidays are extra busy so I may be a little late or early for the visit.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
DeDe can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
Note: If I leash a pet, it needs to be booked as a WALK... unless we discuss for clarification. I want to know of the dietary & exercise needs, and favorite play activities of the pets. I have no breed preferences, but I do not desire to care for a pet with a history of aggression, or biting, or the potential to bite anyone...(aggressive or non stop barking at me during the meet and greet).
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.
