Pet care experience

Loving home for your pup

I am the first to say “pick me!” when a friend is in need for a pet-sitter. I feel very comfortable around animals and love to be in their company. We, my husband and I have a 2.5 year old Miniature American Shepard, Iris. We have grown her up since she was about 2 months old. We live in a house with a fenced backyard so your dog will have a good space to run around during the day. I am a full-time Rover dog-sitter so I can stay close to your dog most of the time, so that they don't feel lonely during your absence, of course Iris is here for your dog too :). I will follow a specific schedule or your dog's needs like feeding time or walking time, or anything for making your dog feel as comfortable as possible. Just let me know if you have any concerns or questions about your dogs or their stay! I am happy to talk about it and make their stay happier with you :)

We had a great experience with Mana and Kento! They are very responsible, communicative, and truly care about dogs. Piara had a wonderful time staying with them for a week. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!

Obi was in the best hands during our two week vacation. All instructions were followed perfectly, including her heartworm meds given on time! We loved the daily photos and videos. Iris was also a gracious doggie host, letting Obi sleep in her bed sometimes :) thanks for making her part of the family while we were away!

This is my best time leaving our Charlie with a complete stranger. I personally met Mana and liked her immediately. She seemed like a kind and gentle person, soft spoken and respectful. I was a bit afraid that Charlie might have little issues with her dog Iris. To my surprise they both got along well. Thank you Mana for updating and sending pictures and videos of Charlie. I will definitely come back to you. Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie💕

Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.

Schedule

My day starts with letting my dog go to the backyard then give her breakfast around 7 am. After having a coffee I usually walk around with dogs before sun warms the ground up. I play with dogs with toys and fetch in the backyard a few times during the daytime and go for a walk again in the evening. Feed dinner around 6 pm and do the last short walk for the potty around 10:30 pm before going to bed. We take dogs to a dog park on weekends depending on the dog's personality, or dogs need more exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard so your dog can run around during the day safely. And living in a peaceful residential neighborhood allows us to walk around with pups without any concern for broken glasses on the ground or someone shouting across the road... I care for your dog as I care for my dog for sure. Your dog is a part of our family during their stay! A lot of plays and walks, and hugs. I will not leave your dog alone usually, but I will ask you first if it's inevitable. I also have a lot of toys in the house and different style of beds so your dog will find something fit for them! if they want :) I wash all the toys once a week, vacuum clean once a day to keep our house clean and comfortable for both humans and dogs. Refresh dogs water 3.4 times or more as needed. Also, I always feed dogs under my supervision so that they can have the proper amount of their own food. I separate dogs to make a separate/safe room if necessary too. I normally take one or two clients at the same time for better supervision and meeting the individual needs. But it can be three depending on the demand likely in the holiday season. But I consider the temperament of the dogs beforehand to keep individuals safe and happy.

Pets

A typical day

I usually play with toys a few times at home and walk around 2-3 times a day. Bringing Iris (my dog) to a dog park is one of our weekend routines so we will take your dog together upon your approval if your dog likes the dog park. We also enjoy hiking with her together :). I will do specific play styles your dog loves too!

I will provide specific care as your instructions like specific play time/feeding/or hiding trigger stuff etc... Just let me know what your pup needs. Your dog is a part of our family during their stay! And I keep updating about your dog with pictures once or twice a day. It really depends on how they are doing, like I do more often on the first day or till they get settled and gradually decrease frequency if there's any problem. But will just keep posting how was your dog's day :) These are questions I would like to ask before having your dog over at least. I might have more depending on your dog. -What time do you usually feed them? -What time do you let them do a potty break before and after sleep? -How often does your dog need a potty break? -Does your dog have allergies? ( for food, plants, etc...) -What is your dog's activity level? or activity needs? -If your dog likes a dog park, do you agree with us taking your dog to a dog park? I kindly ask all dog owners to bring those goods for your dog. -collar, harness and leash **must -a dog bed ( if not, we have extra beds ) -food ( the amount for your dog's stay + at least 2 days, any kind of food is welcomed. ) -treat ( if your dog has a specific preference! Otherwise I will give treats for Iris, like vegetables, fruits, dehydrated chicken, cheese, steamed meat etc...) -favorite blanket/toys ( if they have ) -feeding bowl and water bowl ( if your dog prefers to use your own. ) -medications ( if they need ) -anything makes them happy! I also offer dog bathing, but not nail clips or paw trims.
