Pet care experience

Home full time, open availability

I grew up with animals all of my life. I am a PhD student, which basically means I am working from home. Working from home also gives me the opportunity to provide as much care and attention that your pet needs. I live in a very quiet neighborhood that is close to trails and parks, which is perfect for dog walks. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs, and a soft spot for senior dogs ❤️ I also love cats and I am comfortable with handling different cat personalities (shy, energetic, territorial). I also have experience with pets who have medical requirements including insulin shots. I also offer flexible pricing for returning customers, meaning I can work with you on the price of your stay / service after the first booking if your budget becomes a concern. I try to make my services accessible for all.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have any pets in my house (both of my dogs passed away last year). My backyard is fenced in and my room is on the first floor, so senior dogs should not have issues navigating stairs or high steps.

Once again, Pond took great care of Pongo and our house, and she was quick to respond and offer help when my plane was delayed, and I thought I might need to extend care.

Pond took great care of our cat and house. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. Already booked her for our next trip.

Pond was really great! I would definitely recommend them to take care of a furry friend/companion.

We returned to a happy home. Pongo and the house looked great. We appreciate Pond's care of both. The person who previously stayed with (dog-reactive) Pongo moved away, and finding someone new was stressful, but Pongo took to Pond immediately, and Pond's communication and demeaner made us much less anxious about our trip. I hope to book with them again.

Schedule

I am a morning person and like to walk the trail next to my house in the mornings. Your pet could join me! 😊 I am home working on my dissertation, which makes completely available for the amount of time and attention that your pet needs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Pond can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I will need at least a 2 day notice in advance for boarding and house visiting to inform my roommates that we will have a guest 😊 but dog walking can be same day. IMPORTANT!! FOR BOARDINGS: make sure the start time and end time are correct and not guesses. I plan my day around those times and incorrect pick up or drop off times cause serious inconveniences. Requests to delay pick up times or add additional days on such short notice will be an additional $60 fee PER DAY.
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.
