Pet care experience

Home full-time, Big Love for Dogs

I love making new friends, as long as they are dogs 💖 My first true love was my bordercolli Timmi that was with us since I was 5 years old. I have true passion and love for any kind of animal but specially dogs. Our house is spacious and we have a great backyard, I am a online University student who is always home. I am very engaged with each individual dog, I have experience with puppies, seniors, and special needs furry friends. Medication, injections or other specialized needs are welcome. My current two babies are Mika and Mei they love all dogs and keep the pack entertained, and if your dog does not care for other dogs they are happy to leave them be. My house is never empty, my husband and I both adore dogs and your fur baby will always have someone to play with whether human or furry friend. I hope I can meet your baby soon!

Svenja took wonderful care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.

Svenja was great! She provided updates regarding our dog Thor throughout our stay. She had multiple dogs staying with her and we were a little nervous at first, but she is excellent at finding which dogs get along with others and Thor had the time of his life. I highly recommend her.

I recently left my two dogs, Atlas and Butters, for their first stay with Svenja (2 nights) and I was unfortunately disappointed with the experience, predominantly with the communication. We had a couple of challenges with coordinating drop off, though I will say this was on both sides. Svenja had appointments during the large majority of my proposed drop off window and I was running late after trying to shift around my schedule. I did not receive any unprompted updates for the duration of the stay. I was told they were doing well but one of my boys was marking. I also did not receive any pictures or videos. I can take this as a lesson learned to be more explicit with expectations, however, I’ve used other dog sitters on Rover before (my usual sitter was out for the weekend) and never had to ask for updates or pictures.

The best. Reliable, communicative, and my dog lights up when she sees her.

Schedule

Furry friends hang out with me while I study online, and when I'm on campus my husband will care for your pets. I feed all dogs separate or under supervision to ensure safety. If walks are requested, they are usually done early morning or later evening to avoid the heat.

We have a tennis court two streets down with nature, I also have a vehicle which I usually use to drive to near by parks. We have a nice back yard where we always play in all forms with all animals. Scheduled feeding and constant love and supervision. Your loved dogs will never feel alone. I avoid dog parks for my client dogs for safety reasons, but upon request can take your dog to some cool ones near by.
