Safety, trust & environment

My main priority is to make sure your furbaby is safe, healthy and happy. I will always check for any hazards that may arise during our walks or drop-ins. I will be sure to always check the perimeters of the yard for any broken or missing parts of the fence. On our walks, I will always ask what routes are safe for walking. Sometimes pet other owners do not take the responsibility serious when it comes to securing their pets in a fenced in yard when going on walks. It is my job to ask owners to provide any and all additional information regarding the care of their furbaby(s). If, at any point in time, I should have a question about their pet, I will make sure that I have a good contact number as well as the vets number for emergencies.

Information Norma S. would like to know about your pet

Important information, such as, medications, body ailments, allergies, exercise activities, and what scares or puts a dog on alert. The dogs daily schedule will also be a key factor in the how I conduct visits.

A typical day

Depending on what the dog likes to do, I will play fetch or chase them around the yard so that they get some sort of exercise if walks are not safe. Also, depending on the age and health of the dog will determine what activity(s) are suitable. I usually take the same safe walking route to avoid the unknown of new streets. If allowed, we have a park nearby to walk dogs but will only do so if the weather permits. Sometimes it can be very hot and humid for a dog to go for walks. We also have a dog park, but permission will be asked before taking them there.

Pet care experience

My experience goes beyond pet sitting, I can also give insulin shots as well as other medications. A dogs health depends on the human parents. In the past, I have also volunteered to foster dogs waiting for the rescue group to pick them up.

Norma is phenomenal! She’s not just a dog walker—she made us feel comfortable especially my rescue pup. My pup Lenny absolutely adores her, and I can see why. She’s so caring, attentive, and always goes above and beyond. Not only does she give Lenny great walks, but she also shares helpful tips that show how much she truly understands dogs. I feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend! 🐾

Norma was very communicative, sending daily updates with photos, and even went the extra mile to make sure my pups felt comfortable and loved while I was away. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future.

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.
