I’m a DOGCAHOLIC, my full time job

I’ve always had a deep connection with animals, and working full time with dogs brings me an immense sense of joy, purpose, and fulfillment. Each dog I care for becomes part of my extended family, and I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect as I would my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I find happiness in knowing I’m making their day better. Being a dog sitter isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I take a good care of them and I spend a great amount of time playing with them in our fence big yard that has an extensive area of artificial grass, and doggies love to run, play and relax around my yard. I make sure the dogs feel comfortable and are not homesick. I love to exercise, have a very healthy life, like to run, play or just relax with them. I also have a relax area for the older and quiet dogs that don’t like to be bothered by others :) Our dog, a wonderful lab mix (Bobbie) passed away at the age of 17 after a 12 months battle with cancer :( we said goodbye to him on February 2023. We adopted him since he was 12 weeks. NOTE: I must Meet & Greet every new client and their dogs. This way, I can get to know the dog and owner before booking, and the dog and owner can get to know me too :) No care provided to all of the following, to ensure the safety of our doggie guests. - Aggresive Dogs - Dogs with Any Kind of Pest Diseases (Ticks, fleas, etc.) - Females In Heat - Dogs with Excessive Barking - Dogs with Behavioral Issues (Destructive, Unjustified Bitting/Nipping, other similars).

Natalie and family are amazing our second time leaving our little guy for vacation.We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing Aaron is taken care of. We knew he enjoyed his stay because when we picked him up he was ready to go back in the house with Natalie. Highly recommended.

Safety, trust & environment

For the safety and well-being of your dog, I kindly ask that they be comfortable with being crated if I need to leave the house for a short period—never more than 2 hours. My home is a new environment for them, and while they may feel completely at ease in their own space, being in a different setting can sometimes make dogs feel anxious, curious, or even mischievous. Crating helps prevent them from accidentally getting into something harmful or injuring themselves while unsupervised. I always make sure they are settled and comfortable before stepping out, and I treat each dog with the same care and love as I would my own.

A typical day

A typical day in my dog boarding business is full of love, routine, and happy tails. After breakfast, the dogs have time to play in a safe, supervised environment, whether it’s chasing toys, sunbathing, or socializing with other friendly pups. Throughout the day, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need, including cuddles, and rest breaks in cozy spots. I follow any special instructions you provide, like medications or feeding schedules, to make sure your dog stays healthy and happy.

To ensure a safe and peaceful environment for all the dogs in my care, it’s very important for me to get to know your pet ahead of time. I kindly ask that all dogs arrive groomed or clean, as hygiene is essential when sharing space with other pups. It’s also important that your dog is not aggressive, excessively anxious, or prone to nonstop barking, as these behaviors can affect the well-being of the entire group. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and balanced atmosphere where every dog feels secure and happy. Dogs must have all their vaccines up to date. Preferred Drop Off & Pick Up Times at our home: Between 8 am to 9pm. New dogs that never been in my house is better that come before 4pm so it will adjust to my house.
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.
