Safety, trust & environment

Since I have worked with so many animals, I understand that some pets take time to warm up. While many are outgoing and friendly, some need more time to smell you and hear your voice. Reading body language is important and being aware when an animal might be stressed is essential. My cats like attention on their terms, and that’s okay. They come to me when they want the attention. I’m happy to work with pets at whatever pace makes them most comfortable.

Information Dinara D. would like to know about your pet

Knowing your pets personality, any special needs, and how they do with new people is importance for me know how to best treat and approach your pet. Building, establishing, and maintaining trust is important with any pets.

A typical day

I spend time with my cats every morning before work, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I always check they have food, water, toys, and treats/catnip. When I get home from work, I immediately scoop litter boxes, give any medications, feed them wet food, and give them attention. They get attention (on their terms) and extra enrichment (like catnip, treats, engaging toys, or leashed and supervised outside time).

Pet care experience

I have been very involved in humane societies. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, backgrounds, temperaments, and health issues! I currently have two cats but grew up with a dog and help watch my sister’s puppy all the time. I’ve helped babysit many cats and dogs over the course of my life. I’m respectful other's belongings, property, and (of course) pets. I have no issues going to a your home to take care of your beloved pets, take them on walks, administer medication, going vet or grooming appointments, or just spending time with them.

Dinara showed up on time and did the job right and I can see that our dogs were delighted with her. We are very grateful that she was able to help us when we were traveling to the city for my birthday. Her availability made the day, fun and relaxing for us and for our dogs. She is a compassionate and pleasant person, and pays attention to details. We would definitely use her again.

Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.

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.
