Animal lover w/ flexible schedule

I started my Rover business during an emotional recession when I lost my cat (NALA) of 15 years on July 28th, 2023. Nala was my spirit animal, my guide and my best friend. I grew up taking care of animals, I had my own private pet sitting business throughout high school and college. I deeply connect with animals on an emotional, spiritual, mental and heart space. I make it a priority to deeply connect with animals by looking into their eyes, asking them for permission to get close and can sense their needs and wants. Animals are extremely intuitive, they can sense more than humans and are always communicating with us. Taking care of your fur baby would be like taking care of NALA. I'm so fortunate to work from home (or your home) and have a flexible schedule to walk, play and take care of your fur baby. Unless if I want to capture a cute moment with your dog, I'm NOT a dog walker that mindlessly scrolls on their phone when walking a dog. Rest assured that your baby will get my undivided attention. Please note: I encourage you to book as soon as you’re able to get your baby scheduled in. Unfortunately, I’m not able to hold dates and I book up quickly. If not booked within 24 hours, I prioritize other clients. Thank you 💖

Iris took care of our baby for a week and it was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation and know that our dog was being well cared for. Iris was very punctual, responsible, communicative, and she left our home spotless. Will absolutely be booking her again!

Iris was FANTASTIC!! She was super responsive, professional and, most importantly, she was super excited to hang out with our little fur balls. She sent us great photos and was proactive about asking questions and really went above and beyond. We can't wait to book her again!

Schedule

I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to walk, play and board your fur baby. I live in front of a park, so plenty of opportunities for easy and accessible time for outdoor play and walks. If I'm house - sitting, my purpose is to be there with your pet 24/7 (excluding Yoga, exercise and grocery shopping runs). Boarding & House Sitting: Please note that I have built a life where I can work remotely. Your pet will have access to 24/7 in-person care (except when exercising & grocery shopping). With house sitting, it includes light cleaning, watering plants, trash take-out and picking up mail. For Boarding, I'm home 24/7 with the exception of gym time and grocery shopping. I take one pet at a time, meaning your baby will have a very private and curated care with me and only me. Please note: I encourage you to book as soon as you’re able to get your baby scheduled in. Unfortunately, I’m not able to hold dates and I book up quickly. If not booked within 24 hours, I prioritize other clients. Thank you 💖

Safety, trust & environment

I live an apartment, in front of a large park. I have experience crate training my previous animals. My apartment is closed off and guests need a security code and keys to enter. Very safe and residential area.

A typical day

I’m very active and love to be physically fit. If your fur baby loves to run, chase a ball and play soccer, we’ll get along great. I can also adjust my exercise activity based on age and size. I can go on slow, short or long walks and cater to your dogs physical needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
IRIS can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know their routine, food, snacks and toys (every animal is different). It's important for me to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. In addition, how can I make the pet parent as ease, relaxed and trusted while away? Does your pet have allergies? As Cesar Milan has stated, "Better human, Better Dog." Boarding & House Sitting: Please note that I have built a life where I can work remotely. Your pet will have access to 24/7 in-person care (except when exercising & grocery shopping). With the house sitting, it includes light cleaning, watering plants, trash take out and picking up mail. For Boarding, I'm home 24/7 with the exception of gym time and grocery shopping. I take one pet at a time, meaning your baby will have a very private and curated care with me and only me.
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.
