*update about rates and cancellations at bottom ABOUT ME Backstory: I lost my dog in 2022 😔 (but found after 2 full years), so I began volunteering at AAS/APA!, fostering, and working for Rover as a way to both emotionally cope but also help my community with their pets. Experience: 2022 I began to foster shelter dogs and have found homes for 12 doggos already! I've fostered puppies and older dogs. Many of the dogs I have cared for have behavioral problems or need special or sensitive care. I am patient and gentle for every animal I care for. I have cared for big puppies like Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and German shepherds. I’m familiar and understanding of jumpers, barkers, biters and scratchers. I’ve even been badly bitten by one of my foster dogs but that didn’t make me love him any less. Safety: Animals are like kids to me and I always treat them with love and respect. I’ll never leave the house without AirTagging your pets. I’m always prepared with a doggy backpack filled with first aid materials and doggy pepper spray to protect your pups. Love for animals: I have learned people raise and treat their pets differently but they are all loved immensely. For any pet I care for, I always say the words "I love you!!". Those words of affirmation, despite the animal not knowing what they mean, give off positive, loving, and warm energy which makes animals feel comforted and safe. Always vocalize to your pets you love them! I see all pets as members of the family. I treat my own pet as if she is my child and feel that pets should be given the same love, attention, and support as any other member of the family. I always let my pups sleep in bed with me. You can be assured that your pet will be safe, happy, and treated lovingly! Just know I love taking photos and videos of pets. You are guaranteed tons of updates and cute pictures/customized videos! My Dog: I currently have a female german shepherd, she is good with dogs and spends a lot of time with dozens of different dogs-big and small. If your pets are comfortable with other dogs, I’d happily connect my pup and your pup/s together!! *NOTE: I will always make your pets my #1 priority but I work multiple jobs and run a normal amount of errands. For house sitting I cannot stay at home 24/7, though I do my best to stay with your pets as much as possible. I don’t have a daily routine and will be in and out randomly everyday. Pets will not be left alone longer than avg 6 hours. If pets need to be crated when away I try not to leave them for longer than 4 hours. If permitted, I typically take my dogs with me when visiting friends or family around town or even quick errands for doggy car rides. I promise your pets will be safe, loved and cared for. You will get tons of HQ photos of your pets!! Policy Regarding Constant Care: If you need to book a house sitting in which your pets need constant care longer than 8 hours at a time, I may ask to work by an hourly rate ( $10 a hour). Constant care meaning, pets that cannot be left alone for any period of time. RATES & CANCELLATION Update: I’ve had to up my rates recently. I discovered rover takes around 30-40%. The client has an added 11% fee, while rover takes 20% from sitter earnings ( 2026 they are introducing a new 30% fee). I don’t like focusing on the money aspect bc I initially started pet care not for the money but for the pets!! 🐶🐱 That being said, I am open to customizing rates and negotiating prices that work best for you. This can done by me modifying the rover booking with customized rates OR working directly with me without Rover ALSO: I had to change my cancellation policy to 3 days bc there were too many last minute cancellations with no reason or communication. So do not worry bc I am very flexible with refunds and cancellations. Please know, that I will likely give a full refund to you even if you are not within the cancellation policy timeline as long as you communicate with me and give a solid reason.
