My dog is a shihtzu/Havannese mix little girl born October 11th, 2021. I walk them every 2 hours and I take them for long walks to the park morning and late afternoon for longer time as needed. We have a lot of dog toys, including challenging games. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them, and they can sleep anywhere, couch or bed.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and animals of all kinds since I was 6 years old growing up in the farm. I was born and raised in Montenegro (in Europe). Now I am living in the city and I so very much miss being around animals. Dogs especially are truly amazing and my best friends. I ended up getting my dog Peanut in December of 2021, right after my diagnosis with stage 4 metastasis breast cancer. Peanut has been my life savior and I would do anything to make her happy and have her live the best life. Therefore my reasoning for doing Rover is to find a companion for Peanut to have a good time while I am also enjoying taking care of many other dogs 😊 I am an accountant and luckily I am working from home. My boyfriend is a Software developer and he works from home too. Your pup will be taken care of very well.

Florina is sooo attentive with my dog and is always sending me updates and pictures of her. Thankful to have found someone to watch my fur baby whenever I have an event I need to attend

Florina was amazing. She regularly updated us during our cavapoo’s stay, and included plenty of photos and video. I would recommend her and definitely looking forward to our next visit!

Florina is amazing at her job. She watched my dogs for two days and was so kind to my three dogs. She kept me updated, cleaned up the dishes, and even gave my dog his insulin. I welcome her back into my home anytime.

I messaged Florina the same morning and she was super responsive and accommodating. I dropped off my dog, and she had a phenomenal time. She sent me a number of videos and pictures throughout the day which was really comforting since I didn’t have time for a meet and greet since I was visiting out of town for a family emergency. She was so sweet. She also has a cute dog that Dahab (my dog) was able to play around with.
