Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years! I have always love all sorts of animals. I'm the type of sitter who enjoys group play and socialization. I usually watch multiple dogs at once! I truly want my career path to involve watching and taking care of dogs. I helped watch dogs for my family and friends throughout my life. I also have a few customers from past jobs that requested me if I can continue to watch their dogs. I have pet sitted dogs for the day and overnight. I also have done house sittings, check-ins, dog walks, and even taxi dogs for my clients. But at the moment, I'm currently only focusing on doggy daycare and overnight boarding. I used to worked at a dog daycare and had to watch over 50 dogs at once by myself! I have cared for all sorts of dogs. From puppies to seniors. As well as special needs dogs. I will always do my best to not turn down any dog that comes my way and will also do my best to take care of them while you're away.

Ruben was so patient with Dan and provided me with updates every day! It was our first time using rover for an extended stay, and I was very anxious about how it would go. But Ruben was incredibly kind to us and responsive whenever I had a questions. Definitely will use next time, would recommend to anyone who’s considering!

Ruben is great with our dog. Whenever we need a dog sitter, we are always comfortable with leaving Kodak with Ruben. He takes very good care of our furry animal. Kodak is always excited to see Ruben and have play dates with the other dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a family home. I'm able to accommodate several dogs at once. I allow them to be on my bed and furniture. I have a room that I remodeled just for dogs, where they can relax and play. I also have a fenced backyard where they can run around and play with my other dogs. I have 2 very friendly dogs, a Yorkiepoo and a Siberian Husky! They are both vaccinated. I can easily separate dogs if needed. Safety is always my top priority when it comes to your dogs and mine. I usually take care of several dogs at a time. So please let me know if you and your dog are comfortable around other dogs. I'll mainly be the one watching and taking care of your dogs but I'll always have someone watching them if ever a situation comes up where I can't be home. I'll always provide updates through phone calls, text, and emails, whichever is your preferred method.

Information Ruben M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog have any special requirements. I'm the type of sitter whose big on group play and socialization. Working with Rover over the past months I noticed some owners aren't comfortable with there dog being around other dogs so please let me know if you and your dog is comfortable around multiple dogs, if not, I'll probably won't be a good fit for you as a sitter. I'm experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs with disabilities and special needs dogs. I have taken care of dogs of varying temperaments from dogs who prefer to be alone to dogs that wanna play all the time. I'm also experienced in taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I can administer any medicine they need as well.

A typical day

I'll show your dog a great time! I'm the type of sitter whose big on group play and socialization. They'll never feel lonely when they're with me and my dogs. We'll always have fun in the house and in the backyard. I'll make sure they are fed and have plenty of water. I'll make them feel safe and comfortable while they are getting ready to sleep and when they are relaxing as well. I will always treat your dogs as my own and part of the family.

Availability

I left a dog daycare company to help my parents who are recovering from surgeries so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm currently free and open for the time being. My goal is to make Rover my main income source while I help my parents out at home. When there's times I need to go out. I'll have my niece who is also learning and wants a career is handling dogs watch them while I'm away. There will never be a time where your dogs are alone.
