Safety, trust & environment

I usually do a first-time visit before the sitting so owners give me a rundown of how to make their pets feel special, loved, and safe.

Information Svetlana G. would like to know about your pet

Size, weight, anxiety issues. I like knowing where they like to walk. What kind of toys they like to use. Any allergies they might have. Specific ways of heating food and serving it. Do they like iced water in a specific bowl?

A typical day

Please let me know all your pets little quirks, favorite games, favorite treats, where they like to take naps. Can we go out for a pup cup? Do they have a favorite toy they like to play with?

Pet care experience

I have a dog of my own so house sitting can be done if our dogs get along! Me: I’m the person at the party petting or playing with a dog or cat if there is one (or multiple!). I have experience in several areas: I have over 10 years experience house sitting and walking/sitting Boxers, Cattle Dogs, Pitbulls, German Shepherds, Labradors and senior dogs. I also have experience with cat drop-in visits with adorable and cuddly but picky eaters. I volunteered for a non-profit animal shelter in Puerto Rico called ‘Save a Sato’ where you foster homeless animals and bring them back to a healthy state. I am currently a Senior Scientist. I have always loved doing Rover as a side job since hanging out with your pets is a lot of fun. I think it’s a great way to be involved with the community. Requested information about your dog or cat: I would love to know the story of how you and your pet came into each other’s life. I would like to know if they are scared of anything, special preferences as to eating, walking, and sleeping. Is your pet allergic to anything? Is your pet taking medications? I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. During the stay I’ll play with any toys your pet likes. I like taking pictures of pets and try to catch rare but adorable moments and sending them to you (such as a pet yawning, haha).

Svetlana took excellent care of our two dogs and cat. You can tell she really loves animals and spent a lot of time with them. She was very well prepared and made sure she understood everything before we went out of town. She was reliable and communicated very well and sent tons of pictures while we were away. She also went above and beyond, playing fetch and bringing a new ball for them to play with. We will definitely book with Svetlana again in the future.

Svetlana was wonderful! I had so much peace of mind knowing she was taking care of my kitty while I was away ☺️

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.
