*Update* Hello, thank you for considering in me as your pet sitter. At this time I am no longer able to take in more than 3 dogs and they must be from the same owner and not different owners. I'm back in college now so I can only focus on one dog at a time.. I also have to increase my prices unfortunately. I also no longer do Meet and Greets without being booked FIRST. I don't feel comfortable giving out my address without confirmed booking, you may always cancel a week prior to the date to get a full refund. And I do not have a car so I am unable to do pickups. Thank you for your understanding.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fence yard so your fur baby can run around and enjoy the outdoors anytime as often as he/she wants. I never leave your pet unattended so you can rest assure that your pet will be in good hands. I do require crates during their stay and this is for their safety. I can't leave them unattended while I'm showering or when I'm sleeping or going out doing errands so a crate is a must.

Information Fernando T. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any preferences when it comes to the kind of breed. I would care for any dog. And if I am sitting a dog I would love for the owner to provide info on what the dog likes or don’t like, any foods that they’re allowed or can eat or not to eat so I can be sure to provide the best care possible.

A typical day

There's a really nice bike trail near my house where a lot of people take their dogs for walks. I take all client's dogs for walks there. It's peaceful, quiet and safe. Even I go for a run there it's perfect. If you have any toys I do play fetch with them, as I mentioned I have a fully fenced backyard where they can run around and play and often spend hours playing with them.

Pet care experience

I'm always available to sit and or walk your dog. I am very affectionate towards animals. I absolutely adore them. Every dog owner should know that their pets will be loved, provided for and taken care of. I have a lot of free time so playing with them and keeping them entertained is something I look forward to. I do send photos and videos quite frequently so you can know how your pet is doing on a daily basis. Most of my experience with pet sitting comes from taking care my friends and family members pets and from volunteering at an animal sanctuary. I have developed responsibility and learned quite a lot about dogs that way and now I'm looking forward to using that experience professionally. I’m adaptable and very flexible with my schedule perfect for those who need a last minute sitter. I’m also very willing to pet sit for longer durations if need be. I also enjoy exercising so I’m available for dog walks up to an hour or more if the owner requests that. There's a nice bike trail perfect for dog walks so no complaints here. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. 💖

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.
