Safety, trust & environment

For pet boarding: My cats have full reign over the house except for kitchen counters and bathrooms. I have a fenced backyard where Toto likes to spend a few hours each day. I have 2 separate unoccupied rooms that I occasionally use for new pets getting acclimated to the house(important for cats specifically so they dont get hostile right off the bat). I have several litterboxes and feeding bowls and well separated sections of the house to ensure each pet gets enough space without being disturbed by the others

Information Sanya A. would like to know about your pet

I prefer boarding for cats since I'm a cat person. No preference for the breed but I am partial to ones that don't damage furniture. Please let me know if your cat is prone to scratching random items so I can prepare accordingly.

A typical day

I have a beautiful dog park nearby that your pup can make new friends at. My backyard has ample space for one-on-one activity as well if that's what you prefer. I have different kinds of toys to play fetch or pull with(for dogs) and an array of stimulating/exercising toys for cats. I can arrange for any particular requests that you have for your pets' activities as well.

Sanya is the best! Her communication both before and during the stay are great. Our dog Stax enjoys her visits so much and with her anxiety that is not always easy.

This was our first time using Sanya and she is a natural! She was very comfortable and was a good sport about one of our dogs taking a while to get used to her. She kept us up to date with texts and pics. Will definitely use her again!

Sanya has helped care for our dog Stax now multiple times because she is so thoughtful, a great communicator and really just treats Stax with such care. We feel ao fortunate to be able to work with Sanya and would recommend her to anyone.

Sanya is an amazing cat/house sitter! She braved terrible snow and ice conditions to stay with our Pretty, feed our birds, and salt our doorstep, and she sent us lots of pictures so we could see how happy and comfortable Pretty was (including one of a blissful Pretty after her evening brushing)! She cares for our cat like we do, and we are so grateful.

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.
