WFH Sitter & Walker
Pet care experience
I have been surrounded by dogs and cats since the age of 5. Growing up, pet care was a shared responsibility in my household. Gradually, I took on more responsibilities as my bond deepened with my pets. I fostered kittens a few times, too. I began professionally working with dogs/cats doing walks and sittings as a side gig in 2018 on other pet service platforms. I have experience with nearly 400 clients and have maintained a 4.99-star rating on the secondary platform I use (see photo gallery for screenshot image). References and former non-Rover reviews can be provided upon request. I am rather attuned to animal behavior, which allows me to build trust with new pets at their pace. I can provide basic training to dogs.
Reviews
Mesgana is prompt, professional, and a super-clear + responsive communicator -- we would highly recommend her!
Mesgana was, by far, the best dog-sitter we've had. With thorough updates every night and plenty of pictures, we always knew how Frankie was doing. What really elevated the stay was Mesgana's personal attention. Frankie is an elderly dog, and prone to dementia; she gets confused and anxious in new environments. Mesgana proactively found ways to make Frankie feel more comfortable, and even had a few suggestions for us when we picked her up. Hands down, you cannot find a better person to care for your pup. Thanks again, Mesgana!
Very nice and was great with my husky!
Mesgana did a wonderful job. Very professional. You can tell she puts a lot of care and effort into making sure your pet feels comfortable. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
You can expect that any instructions that you provide me on how you prefer your dog to be cared for will be followed! I send my sitting clients updates 1-2 times per day about how the pet is doing with pictures or videos included. I like the pet parent to feel as if they're still home with their pet. Walk/drop-in clients will receive 1 summary at the end of the service.

Information Mesgana A. would like to know about your pet
Please notify me in your booking request if your pet has any required special needs care or behavioral challenges to certain stimuli (other pets, children, etc.). I am open to working with any breed, size, and energy level!
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation is important for pets! If you have treats around, I like wrapping them up on a blanket or paper, taping/tying it up, and making them fish the treats out. I have a few other enrichment activities we can go over during the booking request. These activities are great for both cats and dogs. Your dog/cat will also have playtime and walks!

Availability
I am currently on the hunt for career-related work, so I have more than enough time to allocate towards taking care of your pup during sittings. Being back on the job market means that I am also flexible to pick up walks during the week for the time being. I try to engage socially with friends over the weekends. I would love to bring your pup out with me, especially with my friends who also love animals if the environment we'll be in is pet friendly and safe. However, my social time is also flexible.
