Pet care experience

Spoiling pets since forever

Meet & Greets with new clients Detailed updates with photos and videos. Extra cuddles and kisses. Seasoned in professional pet care. Hi, I'm Saunda 🤍 your pet's next favorite sitter (and probably their future best friend). I know that trusting someone else with your pet isn't easy. You want to know they're safe, comfortable, and actually happy while you're gone, not just fed and let outside. That's what I'm here for. My own dog Carter is a show dog who's extremely well-trained, so I understand what it takes to work with pets who need structure and real attention, but I also know every pet has their own personality. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel secure, whether they're high-energy, shy, anxious, or a little sassy, so they get care that actually fits them. You'll get consistent updates, cute photos, and real communication throughout, so you're never left wondering how things are going. No radio silence, no guessing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, and for your pet to be happy, relaxed, and loved like they're my own.

Schedule

Pet care fits around my class schedule, not the other way around. As a student, I build my availability week to week based on my classes, so I know exactly which days and time blocks I have open before I commit to anything. That means when I take on a booking, you're getting someone who's actually free and attentive during that time, not squeezing your pet in between other commitments. For daily visits or walks, I plan them around gaps in my school day, mornings before class, afternoons between classes, or evenings once I'm done. For overnight or longer stays, I look at my schedule in advance to make sure I'm not double-booking myself during exam weeks or heavier academic periods, so your pet always gets consistent, reliable care without last-minute cancellations. I'm upfront if a week doesn't work well for a certain type of booking. I'd rather tell you that ahead of time than commit to something I can't fully show up for.

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm caring for pets in your home, I keep to your routine as closely as possible, feeding schedules, walk times, medications, whatever your pet is used to. Consistency matters a lot for how comfortable an animal feels when their owner is gone, so I don't try to change things up. I do a full walkthrough at the meet and greet so I know exits, any hazards, and where everything I'd need is kept. I lock up properly every time I leave and treat your space like I'd want mine treated. When pets come to my home, they're in a secure, pet-proofed space with no loose hazards, toxic plants, or unsecured chemicals. My own dog Carter is a show dog with extensive training, so he's calm, well-socialized, and good with other animals, but I still do a slow, supervised introduction with any new pet before leaving them together unsupervised. If a pet isn't a good fit to be around Carter, I keep them separated and give them their own space instead of forcing it. Across both settings, I'm big on real-time communication. You'll get updates and photos throughout the stay or visit, so you always know your pet is safe and being looked after, not just guessing.

Pets

A typical day

I keep pets active and engaged, not just parked in a room all day. Depending on the pet, that means walks, hikes, or trips to the park for the dogs who have the energy for it, playtime and puzzle toys to keep things mentally stimulating, and plenty of cuddle time for the ones who just want to relax. I also reinforce basic training during my time with them, so good habits don't slip while their owners are away. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own, active, engaged, and loved on the whole time.

Before a booking, I love learning as much as possible about your pet so I can give them the best care. Helpful things to know include your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, and favorite activities or toys. It’s also important to share any medical needs, medications, allergies, or past injuries, as well as behavioral quirks like leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or fear of loud noises. Let me know how your pet does with other animals, children, and new environments, and if there are any triggers I should avoid.
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.
