Pet care experience

I love all fur babies!

After a year break, I am back to taking new clients! ●Drop in info: Requirements for drop in visits in your home: 1. Will require meet and greets before booking. I am able to do drop in visits on other animals as well, including; lizards, snakes, turtles, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, chinchillas, etc. Feel free to ask if I missed your kind of Pet above:) ●Requirements for in my home sitting: (currently not active) 1. I will not sit any pet that has any sort of aggression, due to having other pets and a young child in my home. 2. Will require proof of vaccines: rabies & distemper/parvo. 3. Will require dogs to have a collar, with ID tags or microchipped. 4. Will require meet and greets before booking is confirmed. 5. I am not able to pick up before 6:30am. I can not drop off after 8:30pm. You may drop off/pick up at anytime of the day between 6am-10pm 6. If I am no longer able to sit your doggy, for any sort of aggression or an emergency comes up, I will help you find another sitter, if needed, as well as drop the dog off for you. You will receive a full refund for any remaining time. 6. Please let me know if you have any special requests or questions. Ask about my discount for veterans, active duty and first responders for boarding:) ●I have room for multiple crates if needed. Types of pets for in my home boarding I can care for; snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, any small rodents and other animals that don't require running around more than an hour a day outside of a cage or aquarium. ●Grooming: I have just recently gotten my grooming :)) so if you would like me to groom your doggy, a basic bath, brush and dry will be an additional $15, if you'd like anything extra, like nails, hair cut, style, etc. We can work something out and add any additional costs. Included in the course I took a basic first aid/cpr class as well. ●About me: I am originally from El Paso, Texas. We moved up here in January 2023. I have had pets since I was 5 or younger. I've always loved to help my mom care for them, including bathing, training, hair cuts, brushing, etc. I have rescued many pets off the street and took care of them until I found their owner or a new forever home. I'm a stay at home mom to my daughter, 3 doggys and 1 cat. I homeschool my daughter, so she will be joining most visits and walks, so I will require meet and greets before bookings, and need to be aware of any behaviour issues before confirming any bookings. ●About my pets: I have 3 dogs as well, one sleeps all day, so great if you have a calm dog. I have two younger dogs that are hyper and love to play if your dog is playful. I have a cat, but she typically keeps to herself, so she won't be a problem.

Safety, trust & environment

I constantly make sure all outside doors are shut, unless requested by owners to keep open. I make sure leashes are on all pups before taking them outside for walks. If requested, I will check all gates or anything else that owners might request. Safety is my number one priority! Fun comes second!

We love going for walks! Sometimes I ride my bike, with my daughter and one of our pups will join us. I try to get out everyday to take a walk and/or bike ride. If we can't, I make sure to have plenty of backyard playtime.

Please let me know of any behavior issues your dog may have, such as nipping, biting, growling, food aggression, fence jumping, jumping on people, digging, running off/escaping. I homeschool my daughter, so she joins me for most visits, so it needs to be a safe enviroment for her as well.
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.
