Pet care experience

Exceptional breed of caregiver

I am a certified groomer & dog trainer, have also worked as a veterinary tech. I go above and beyond to give great care to furbabies. I can administer medication, brush pet as needed, trim nails, do some dog training if needed, transport to vet or grooming appointments and home. There will be extra charges for these but are not excessive and worth it. Since I will mainly be taking care of your pet in your home for pet care, just know that I will take care of your home and pet as if was my own. If you just need walking I will be happy to get your pup outside weather permitting for a short brisk walk or longer leisure one. If your pet is nervous or unsure of new people, I know how to go slow and give them the time needed to get to know me.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very aware of the needs of clients. One of my past experiences is owning a boarding kennel/grooming. I follow instructions well, so even the smallest request is big to me.

Reliable, trustworthy, and experienced. LaVonda is the best! Full of knowledge, and the kindest person you'll come across. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pets!

Lavonda is an absolutely fantastic care giver for the pets she interacts with. With her extensive professional knowledge in the pet industry she is definitely a step above most anyone in this line of work. Anyone who meets her and sees how she is with animals will instantly see that she is the right person to take care of your beloved furry friends!

LaVonda has been taking care of my babies for years! I love her. She is awesome with them. She has helped me through the sad times and the happy times. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to the animals. Very loving and caring. Treats them like her very own.

Schedule

Pet sitter/dog walker has become my retirement work. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and most days can do last minute work. I truly love the work that I do

Lavonda can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
The main thing I need to know is how to approach your pet when I enter the house, are the shy, will they try to run out the door, or just go on in. Any commands you use l, how many treats can I give.
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.
