I love to snuggle your fur baby
Pet care experience
I started doing pet/house sitting & dog walking over 18 years ago for a family who attended the gym I worked at. At that time they had 2 dogs, a hamster, a turtle & a bird that I would care for when they would go on weekend trips or 2 week vacations. In 2006 I started doing pet/house sitting for a family in Bowie, MD until they moved to Colorado about a year or 2 later due to new employment. Their household consisted of 4 dogs, 2 cats, 4 ferrets & multiple fish. I worked as an independent contractor in 2008/2009 for a pet sitting & dog walking service until my contract ended in late 2010 when I got married. I am very hard working & dependable. I have lots of love to share with your fur baby while you are away and love to give them snuggles. Over the past 2 year I have been pet sitting for a non Rover client who has 2 boxers who has become a really good friend and her babies have become my buddies. When I come to your home I like to give your fur baby the chance to sniff around me and get comfortable with me being in your home even during a meet and greet. In all the years I have been doing pet sitting I have not had a pet that did not like me. I give them their space when I first arrive for the sit if they are shy and still a little uncertain about me. I don't force myself on any animal when I know that I am the one in their territory. I have started my own home based travel business and will have better flexibility with pet sits, walks and drop ins.
Reviews
Ms LaToya is awesome. Shes punctual, commuicates with updates. She took great care of my pups, they love her!
Our 3 furbabies had a wonderful time with LaToya. She sent me photos & updates, but not so many that I couldn't enjoy myself on a mini-vacation. She kept them on their normal schedules & gave them plenty of exercise. We came home to two happy, tired dogs. And our cat didn't give us the cold shoulder for leaving because she spent much of her time on LaToya's lap. LaToya was even kind enough to wash the guest bedding & towels and remake the bed, which was just so nice to come home to. We're going to Orlando for a week in September and LaToya will be staying with our pups again. It gives me such peace of mind knowing we can fly somewhere for a week and our babies are in great hands. Highly recommend!
I was nervous cause I’ve never left my pets more than a day. LaToya made me super comfortable from the moment I met her. LaToya is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She communicated daily with pictures of my fur babies. I came home from a 5 day vacation to happy pets and a clean house. I’ve already started planning my next trip and will recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks LaToya !!! 💕
My dogs had a great time with Latoya! So she always so responsive and gives great updates. I don’t have to worry at all with her watch the dogs!

Safety, trust & environment
I give all fur babies the same love and care as I would give my own fur baby. I love giving belly rubs, snuggles and kisses.
Information LaToya B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how the dogs temperament with new people & other dogs. I also would like to know what are their favorite things to do such as: playing fetch, their favorite toy(s), love their belly rubbed & if they have a favorite treat.
A typical day
If there is a trail, a park or dog park nearby I would take the dog(s) there for a nice walk to enjoy the weather & surroundings. If there is a fenced yard I would love to take them out to the back yard to play fetch for a while if weather permitted of course. On cold days after a walk if your fur baby loves to snuggle under a blanket with you I will do the same.
