Pet care experience

Cesar Milan's unofficial daughter

I watch Cesar Milan (Dog Whisperer) & Victoria Stilwell (It's Me or The Dog) regularly, which has provided with me insight for caring for my family's pets (Shiba Inu, shih-tzu), my coworkers' pets (lab mixes, terrier mix), and now my own dachsund-pitbull

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I love to reward the good behavior I notice, and have a calm demeanor to handle any behavior of which I disapprove. I'm great at reinforcing good habits and discouraging bad habits. I have lots of energy to play and engage with energetic dogs. I love to see dogs happy! My most favorite thing in the world is seeing a dog's ears and tongue flapping in the wind wide-eyed with its hind legs kicking at his shoulders in high speed sprinting down the sidewalk or through a grassy field. When I drop in, my focus is on the dog's need for attention and care as well as ensuring the place is still hygienic. When I walk, my focus is on the dog's need to release energy (among other things) and stay cool as well as keeping the environment evidence-free. When I house sit, my focus is on command pop-quizzes and finding a spot that's the most cuddle-friendly.

Dionne was great with our cat Monkey! We told her he loves to be walked on a harness but said she didn’t have to do that and she ended up walking him every day which I know he absolutely loved! Good communication, went above and beyond, and our shy cat even came out to say hi to her which is a very rare event. They seemed happy and healthy went we got home and everything looked good.

Schedule

I work in the entertainment industry, so I have stretches of time between gigs to focus 100% on beloved animals. With enough heads up, I can possibly make any time work.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Dionna can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I need to know if the dog has any medical issues or allergies, emotional triggers (lunges at dogs, afraid of "intruders," sensitive petting areas, etc) and if there are any commands you'd like me to review while we're together.
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.
