Providing Tail-Waggingly Great Care

I have owned and cared for dogs all my life. I pet sit for families from time to time in my home and as an animal lover, it’s always a treat! Our children are also pet lovers and no matter where they come from, they’re always loved here. I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs or dietary restrictions as well. Your dogs will be treated like a member of our family.

I felt that Nicki was safe in Skirla's care. She was a bit stressed during her stay, but Skirla kept us updated and was very kind and patient.

Skirla and her family couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for my puppy, Zoey. I’m so glad to have found them and I know my puppy will miss them, and will want to stay with them in the future. They took amazing care of her and I highly recommend her to take care of your fury loved ones.

Will 100% be using her again! My Ollie was spoiled and loved dearly at her home. It felt like we just left him with family, so I had peace of mind that he was being taken care of like one of their own. She was so kind and very communicative. She sent me pictures and shared little updates of Ollie while we were gone. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom who’s home 24/7. I’m Available holidays and weekends as long as there’s nothing scheduled to do outside the house for a long period of time. Usually I take our dog with us on a little car ride to school carpool in the afternoons. I would be happy to take yours too if allowed. On the days my schedule is blocked off, I am open to consider emergencies bookings on a case by case basis. I’m only one call or text message away!

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are free to roam around our house. I ask that proper bedding, crate, leash and any other comfort items are provided by the owners. I don’t allow visitors in our home while petsitting in order to minimize the stress and anxiety on the guest pet. Our backyard is big and is fenced in. Dogs are allowed to play outside for as long as they want (weather permitting). I keep fresh water on our deck for hydration during playtime in the backyard. Potty breaks are every 0-2 hours, or whenever the dog feels like it’s time to go outside. During the night I prefer to keep the dogs in our bedroom for their comfort and for rapid response in case there’s an emergency. I have two animal hospitals within a mile radius: Youngsville Animal Hospital and Heartwood Animal Hospital. Both places are wonderful! Pet parents will receive daily updates about their furry babies and will be kept informed of their activities via text message. Pictures included. I can provide dog food unless the owners prefer to bring their own. Medications and allergies: please let us know in detail about your pets medication regimes or allergies we need to consider. I have a small terrier who’s very sweet and friendly. He gets along with other dogs without problems.

Pets

A typical day

I have a big backyard with a lot of doggy toys. I’m usually outside with the little one and our dog, getting our morning sun and play time. I go for walks down our neighborhood too. I accommodate play time according to each dog’s energy.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Skirla can host up to 3 dogs per day
Please let me know if your furry baby has any special needs, routines, personality traits I need to accommodate. Not all dogs are the same and I like to tailor the standard of care specific to the dog I’m caring for. I want them to have a stress-free stay and make them feel at home.
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.
