I’m currently working part time and mostly from home, so I have plenty of time to play and spend with the furry ones. I usually throw balls for them in the backyard to get their exercise in.

I have a big fenced yard for the fur babies to run around in... usually play ball with them to have interaction with them. I usually only crate them when I go do a quick errand other than that they are loose once they are comfortable with each other.

Information Silvia I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your fur baby is friendly/ sociable with either other dogs/cats before we book. I like to avoid any conflicts between them so they are more at ease while their stay.

A typical day

First thing in the morning they will get their breakfast then I let them out for their first potty break and mid day I throw balls or frisbee to get their energy out, give them water and back in the house to nap... then dinner time they get fed again.. I give them like 3-4 potty breaks a day if not more.

Pet care experience

I have quite the experience with furry friends, I have always been a doggy owner If not a personal sitter. I love ALL animals equally. I have educated myself in understanding dog behaviors and almost guessing what they are trying to communicate to best serve them as they do to me. I do have a disciplined mentality with dogs but I show them love and affection as well when needed. I see dogs and cats as family members they also deserve the love and respect that they give us unconditionally. I will do everything in my power to assure you that your pet is in great hands with a loving and respectful sitter. I strive to make this the easiest and smooth transaction for you.

Silvia and Elizabeth provided a wonderful experience for my dog and were willing to meet up beforehand to see if my dog would be comfortable around them. They were communicative about how my animal was doing over the week I was away from home, which put me at ease. I will reach out to them again in the future for overnight stays and readily recommend them to others.

Silvia did a great job with our baby Lulu. She’s only 1 year and a few months so I was a little nervous at first leaving her for the first time. I was so pleased with all the pictures and videos that she sent. I highly recommend her!!

Silvia watched my fur babies for one night for the first time! She was very sweet and helpful they loved her and when I picked them up they seemed happy!’

Silvia took good care of our boy. She communicated with us and provided pictures and videos. She gave us updates on how he was doing. Overall a great experience.

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.
