Safety, trust & environment

When I have pets in my home I make sure that any small toys that are my children's or my cat's toys are put away. I make sure that the animals can't get into any food that could make them sick, and I also make sure that I am careful upon entering and exiting my home so the pet doesn't try and escape. Usually when I have clients pets in my home I try and be home the majority of the visit. I do not have two clients animals at my home at one time because I don't want to stress out anyone's animals, or chance to animals fighting with one another. I do have three cats of my own, but when I am watching a client's animal at my home I usually put my animals in one room and keep the client's pet separated from them. I do have a fenced in backyard.

Information Lina M. would like to know about your pet

There are times that I may bring my children with me to my clients house. So if your dog is not okay with children, unfortunately this would not be a good fit. However, there are times when I do go alone to client's houses. So the best thing to do is always message me the days and times that you need!

A typical day

I like to take a minimum of 30 minutes per walk. That way it gives the dog a chance to have some exercise, get some fresh air and make sure that they have an ample amount of time to use the bathroom. If they are staying in my house all day or if I'm at a client's house all day I will have at least the morning and the evening walk the longer walks and throughout the day I might bring them outside to just sit on the porch or run in the backyard if the client has a fenced in yard. I also am fine with having dogs in my car and I always let clients know that I am more than happy to bring their dog to a dog park if that is okay with my client.

Pet care experience

Please note if you're thinking of booking with me, there is a possibility that I will be bringing my children with me. When I was about 10 years old I babysat my mother's bosses yellow lab. She stayed at our house for weeks while her owner was on vacation. I fed her, took her outside, bathed her and brushed her, played with her and made sure she felt like she was at home. I watched a smaller dog at my house as well for weeks while her owner was on vacation. I also owned a Presa Canario who was a 100 pound puppy! I walked her, trained her and fed her and brought her to visits since she was my very first dog living on my own. I also have experience walking multiple dogs at once. I am happy to become part of your pets daily life and a trusted face :)

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.
