Pet care experience

Home Fulltime,will love like my own

***** CATS ONLY**** Hello Pet Parents. The State of the World has Us all Hyper aware, Concerned of What environment Your Pet Will Be In. And Rightly So. Please be Assured that Your child will be cared for in a COVID Free, Smoke Free home. My Hope is That you and Your baby are Healthy and Safe.* I have 28 years of experience with cats,dogs and hamsters. My preference to board is low energy dogs and cats. I've been a volunteer for the ACC in Manhattan, Pillows for Pets, a Foster for Frankies Feline Fund and a pet sitter for many of my friends' and family's pets when they are away. As of recently, my own geriatric cats have passed. My heart is broken, But I look at the bright side of this loss. Now I don't have a limit on what kind of pet I can care for. Whenever a furbaby is at home with me they will get Extra love and attention. As always, they will have full access to my sofa ,the bed and Cuddles are given gladly with love. Kitties will be played with, if that's what they'd like and Dogs will be walked with patience and care. If you need kitty care, I'm your girl, If you need pup care I got you too! My biggest Joy in life is to care and advocate for all animals, especially if they are in need.

Rolanda agreed to watch our cat at the last minute and he didn’t want to come home with us! He loves her. Thank you, Rolanda!

Rolanda is wonderful! She is warm, generous, thoughtful, and loooves cats (and my cat loved her!). My husband and I needed a cat sitter when our friend canceled at the last minute and we had to go away for 4 days. Rolanda kindly agreed to watch him AND gave my husband and me a gift! She obviously took great care of our cat and was an excellent communicator. She also has a very kitty-friendly house! Will be booking again, thank you!

Rolanda to great care of our kitty. She constantly kept us up-to-date, and it was clear from everything she shared with us that our cat was in great hands with her. We highly recommend Rolanda! .

Safety, trust & environment

Both Dogs and Cats Safety and Happiness is #1. While at Home, I've Made sure there is Nothing that Can Possibly be a Danger to Them. On Walks, The Utmost Care to Always Make Sure They Are Not in Harm's Way Be it With Cars, Bicycles,Other Dog's,Even avoiding People if They are Shy or Unsure. With Cats, Litter is cleaned at least Twice Daily. There will be Playtime or Not. Cuddling or Not. I'd Never Force Them to Interactions they Are Nervous About.

A typical day

While walking your baby, I will make sure they get a nice long proper walk and provide lots of encouragement and stimulation. I just love interacting with them while they play with their toys. If It's a nice day, Then Giddyup!

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Rolanda can host up to 1 pet per night
Before I bring a pup home it'd be nice to know that they are low in energy, maybe even senior that's still in good shape. How do they like to walk? Are they shy/scared to go outside? Are They Receptive to Dog interactions? Do they have certain quirks? Any Allergies? I'd like to know so he/she can have the best experience. I also have vast experience and knowledge with the Brachycephalic breeds (flat faces)but all dogs all breeds are welcome in my home.
