I WFH so I’m home most of the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine I already have a senior dog with daily feeding, meds so I’m used to gentle and structured care throughout the day. I take breaks to give pets attention, walks, playtime and lots of calm company. Your pet would be part of my daily rhythm not an afterthought

Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a calm and supervised home where safety comes first. Pets get slow introductions and secure spaces and constant oversight since I work from home. My corgi is crate-trained and my cat has high-ground access so everyone has their own safe zones. I follow your schedule exactly : feeding, walks, meds, and activities so your pet stays on their normal routine. They’ll have a safe comfortable place to play or nap all day and can sleep with me at night if they'd like to. Diet & Feeding I follow your pet’s exact feeding schedule and portion sizes to keep everything consistent. I always make sure pets stay hydrated, especially in warmer weather. I feed my dog and guest dogs separately to avoid any food guarding or stress during mealtimes. Hygiene & Cleanliness I keep pets clean and comfortable throughout the day : wiping paws if needed, cleaning eye discharge and keeping their space tidy. I’m very detailoriented about maintaining a clean safe environment. Walk Safety All dogs are leashed outdoors at all times. I stay alert around other dogs separate pets immediately if there are signs of stress or tension and prevent ground eating or unsafe sniffing areas. I’m always attentive and I clean up after them every time. Sleeping Arrangements My own dog prefers her own bed and doesn’t sleep with me but your dog is welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable whether that’s in their own bed, the crate or in the bed with me for extra comfort. I make sure every pet has a safe cozy sleeping setup.

Information Soudabeh R. would like to know about your pet

To give your dog the same calm and structured care they get at home it really helps me to know things like: Their personality and vibe : are they shy, friendly, anxious, energetic or a little bit of everything? How they act around other dogs, cats and new people : so I can introduce them slowly and respectfully. Their daily rhythm : when they eat, when they walk, the way they like to sleep and how they unwind. Any health details : allergies, medications, past injuries, sensitivities, or anything I should monitor. Training and house rules : commands they know, behaviors you’re working on and your rules about couches, beds, etc. Triggers or fears : loud noises, separation anxiety, specific environments, or anything that makes them nervous. Their favorite things : toys, games, activities, what actually makes them happy or comforted. Eating habits : portions, treats, sensitivities, and foods they absolutely can’t have. Potty habits : how often they go, how they signal, and whether they potty indoors or only outside. This helps me keep everything familiar and consistent, so your dog feels completely safe and understood while they’re with me. I also require an in person meet & greet before booking, so your pet can see the space, meet Mochi and Mumu and make sure everything feels like a good fit.

A typical day

I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, and give your dog the activities they love. Just tell me their favorites! I send daily photo and video updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’m a full time artist and WFH sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages including Puppies, seniors, special needs pets, and sensitive personalities. I live a calm and quiet lifestyle with my senior corgi, Mochi, and my sweet, dog friendly cat, Mumu. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will get steady attention, a peaceful environment, and care that never feels rushed. My dog Mochi is 10 and has had many health issues, including back leg mobility problems. Caring for her has given me strong experience with senior dogs, medication schedules, mobility support, slow routines, anxious pets and even stroller walks. I grew up with many pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve experienced a negligent sitter in the past whose carelessness sent my dog to the hospital. Because of that I take this work extremely seriously. I’m attentive, detail oriented, cautious and I never take shortcuts especially with older or delicate pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I’m an artist I’ll sometimes doodle a small portrait of your pet if time allows, just a little gift for you. A little about why I joined Rover: I recently moved into a larger space which has allowed me to comfortably host more pets. I also decided to start pet sitting as a way to help offset the rising costs of my senior dog’s insurance. It’s important to me that I can continue providing the best care for her and Rover lets me do that while offering attentive, reliable care to other pets as well.

Soudabeh has always been my go to sitter for my pets. She was able to follow my instructions and the rules I set for taking care of my pets. I love how there are daily updates with photos and videos of how happy my pets are doing when I’m away. My pets have a lot of anxiety around people but they were perfectly relaxed around Soudabeh. Time and time again, I will always have Soudabeh watch over my pets!

I've known Soudabeh for a few years now and have entrusted her to watch over my pets whenever I'm on business travel, she takes excellent care of them and I never have to worry, I can fully focus on my travel endeavors with her taking care of them.

Soudabeh is such a wonderful, attentive pet sitter. She's very punctual, sends lots of photos and videos when she's caring for my two cats, and promptly updates me with anything new while I'm gone (my cat Mario tends to do funny things, so I appreciate her keeping me in the loop). I can tell she's considerate, especially when it comes to animals, and would make the perfect pet sitter for anyone who needs one!
