Your friendly local pet love lover!

Pet care experience

Greetings! I am new here to rover however I am not new to pet care. I have been dog walking since the age of fifteen I am now 22. I started dog sitting and dog boarding at the age of eighteen! I also volunteer for heartland animal shelter as well where I dog sit and walk dogs as well in my free time! I would be happy to help. I work a part time job so I am home most of the time. I can do drop ins, boarding, dog walking, and my schedule is pretty open considering I don’t work much and my school is online!

Fama was very sweet and competent when she took care of my dog Sweetart. I received daily updates and had no doubt that Sweetart was being taken care of as good as if she was home. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been a client of Fama for 6 years now! I’ve been around since she was a rookie. I knew her passion for animals because I volunteered with her at a shelter so I decided to give her a shot and it has been one of the best decisions for my two dogs. I am a travel nurse now! I actually met her while I was doing my mandatory volunteer work for nursing school at the shelter. I am very picky with who I trust with my babies and I never have to worry one bit with her. Depending on how long I’m gone she either stops drops in and walks them three times a day or she keeps them at her apartment to make things easier. Something I love her about her is she always goes all out. She always has these multivitamin treats for them which I think is just awesome and so cute. She also likes to make sure they get a change of scenery every once in a while so she’ll take them to the dog park or a local trail and they absolutely love it! They are still young so they love the exercise and adventure. One of my babies actually just got sick not too long ago. And she had to be on medicine. I could not get her to take it for the life of me. So I actually ended up paying her just to give my dog her meds because she’s really good at it! She’s just absolutely amazing and a godsend.

Greetings! I am one of Fama’s volunteer coordinators over at our shelter. I know she has volunteered for a variety of shelters not just ours. Essentially she does what she would do on this app, but for free for the animals of our community. She comes into contact with a variety of animals at our shelter, but mainly cats and dogs. Definitely a lot of seniors and special ed dogs. Unfortunately, we tend to get a lot of those. Regardless, she is phenomenal with the animals. As hard as it can be, she does her best to make them feel at home, and she always makes them feel included. If she bring treats, everybody treats that day. She is overall a blessing to have at the shelter. She is also really good at medicine administration. We like to say that she has the magical touch because whenever anybody is having a hard time getting an animal to take their medicine we always call her to help whether it’s oral administration or an injection administration. She has always been good at that. It’s like a talent of hers. She is also really good at getting things done in an appropriate timely manner as well as being efficient while doing so. She has been doing this for a long time, so I never had to worry about her, not knowing how to do certain things.

I do not have any preferences at all. I have experiences with puppies, seniors, special needs, you name it. I also take care of cats as well. I have a cat of my own!

A typical day

My favorite thing to do with the dogs are nature preserve walks. The dogs absolutely LOVE IT! And it’s great exercise. When I have senior dogs we can also always opt out for a short trail which is also great.
