Fun at Home FT Large Fenced Yard

I work from home and am home full time, 24/7! I’ll be a friend and playmate to all fur babies! I have experience with pets with separation anxiety so I totally get how they need all day love! Live in a duplex house with an extra room for all the furries and a huge living room with dog beds all over! AND, drumroll please… a HUGE backyard: awesome 6ft fence, with full natural grass yard and a small flower garden for all the smells. I’d love to have your pets over for a paw-ty while you are away, or pick them up for a walk on the way to the parks! I love taking pets to new parks for sniffs and if we have to drive, every pup gets a seatbelt! And a free bath if we end up getting a little rowdy and dirty while in nature hehe! I’ve taken care of various small to medium sized dogs for the last 15 years, from bichon, Havanese, poodle, chihuahua, Dalmatians, to Huskies! Even some furry cat friends! I love all things furry and have a fluffy baby of my own. I have experience with senior dogs who need medicine, diaper care, or those pups with special needs like assistance walking or going to the restroom, as I did those with my senior baby before he passed. My husband also has a hybrid schedule so there is always an extra set of eyes and an pup parent for love and cuddles! For any elderly dogs or dogs who can’t walk too far but love the fresh air, we have our large fenced yard and I also have 2 dog strollers to make sure they still feel safe and part of the dog pack! Safety is the MOST important to me so I have separated feeding areas and additional baby gates for the doors. Because of this, all unleashed play will occur in our fenced yard and we won’t be visiting any dog parks so I appreciate your understanding on this!! Neighbors, friends, family, and roommates have all entrusted me to watch over their loved ones and we’ve always had fun, safe, and silly times together! I can walk, feed, bathe and play with your fur babies and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’m big on pet action videos and pictures so if you want those as a pet parent I’m at your service! I love to cater to each pet parent and pet’s needs through their little staycation oasis.

Found my perfect dog sitter! Jonalyn did an exceptional job of taking care of our babies for 2 weeks. She kept us in the loop with daily pics and videos. I could tell how much she showered our dogs with love and attention with their daily walks,lots of hugs and playtime. Booking with her was a breeze and I know that in the future, I won't hesitate to book Jonalyn again.

Jonalyn did a great job looking after my dogs. My dogs have health issues that require medication and one dog has severe anxiety. She took the time to make sure they got their medications, she made sure that they were comfortable. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated with how things were going. I could tell by the photos that my dogs were comfortable and relaxed. Would highly recommend Jonalyn.

Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!

Jonalyn was amazing! She updated us with photos through out the stay. Ace had to best time on his pack walks and got a lot of exercise. I would highly recommend Jonalyn to anyone and we will absolutely be back!

This was my first time using this app and service. I was a little nervous at first. I booked Jonalyn and she was amazing. I booked for my 2 dogs. We met before I booked. My dogs loved her right away. It was easy to drop them off. She made me feel very comfortable the time i was away. Kept in communication with me and sent lots of pics and videos. My dogs felt loved. I really felt as if my dogs were with family. I hope she’s available anytime I plan a trip. The best. Thank you.

Schedule

I’m fully remote and work from home so your pups will have a friend 24/7 if you wanted! Daily routines include wake up cuddles and kisses, morning, lunch, and dinner walks. More cuddles and kisses, lots of toys for playtime! Lots of beds for sleepies, a large fenced yard for play chase or fetch and separate areas for eating! Oh yeah, and more cuddles, kisses, photos and videos in-between!

Safety, trust & environment

I will always have your dog on leash when we go for walks or in an enclosed yard if they need to be let out or just fed with a companion. I love taking pups to large grassy fields and in that case I have a few 25 ft leashes so the pups can “run free” but won’t be able to run away and if I have multiple pets, I would have my husband there to also help monitor the pup play!

Pets

A typical day

My first thing is to bond with the dog by walking or going outside to play. Then if they know any commands we bond by practicing tricks with all natural treats (pending your approval of any known allergies). I love taking pups to parks for tree, grass, and flower sniffs! I also love to go to different cool areas with your pup if it’s okay so they feel like they are also on a vacation. If your pup is more mellow, I’m also open to sunbathing or vegging out with them - staycation style!

I definitely would like to know if your dog has any known allergies/irritants to skin and if they get scared or agitated by other dogs, humans, or other animals. Also if they are fully vaccinated and have ever been exposed to high dog traffic areas. It’s also good to know what they’re daily routines are i.e.: if they need to eat or go to the restroom within a certain time or if they have a bed time routine. It’s also good to know your normal communication with your dog, if you have verbal or nonverbal commands and if your pet has any specific motivations I.e.: super food motivated or cuddles
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
