We Love Our Dog and Will Love Yours TOO!

Pet care experience

My boyfriend Ray and I own a loving home with one small chihuahua Winston and one cat Moana. We would love to have your dog over or dogsit at your home. Our house is an old bungalow style with a large gated front and side yard. There is a dog door to let the animals roam free and we go for walks everyday after work. We love animals and are looking for some extra income. Winston gets along well with other dogs and Moana keeps to herself. We would love to bring your dog under our care while you are out on business or pleasure! Our schedule for work is flexible and can be moved around to fit the needs of your dog. About this sitter: I am a graduate from Cal State Dominguez Hills with a bachelor of science in business management and currently work for Mr. Rooter Plumbing as the Director of Human Resources. I was born and raised in Long Beach and own a home near Memorial Hospital. My boyfriend and I are animal lovers with a cat, dog, toads, turtle, and fish. We are very much outdoors people and bring Winston with us most of the time. I am actively involved with Winston and can be trusted to care for your dog as I would my own. I have been around animals since I was a child and have cared for my now 7 year old dog by myself since he was a puppy. I do not have any training but am knowledgeable about animals to know how to care for them. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog and animal lover since I was a child. I have grown up with dogs, cats, and fish throughout my life. Meet my pets A list of our loving pets! Winston - Chihuahua Moana - Cat Toadem & Brutus - Toads Joe - Turtle Fred - Frog & A tank full of fishies! About my yard We do not have a full backyard, but we do have two decent sized yards (the front and side) that are fenced in. We also have a dog door that will let your dog roam from the house to the side yard as they please. Our front yard is fenced in as well and we keep the front door open when we are home. So, your dog will have the pleasure of going in and out to roam around. My experience administering medication Although it is never pretty having to get your dogs to take medication, someone has to do it. I don't have any problems administering medication for your dog just as I have had to do for my own many times.

The first time I entrusted my dogs with her in August, she was great. She told me that she can do almost anything I needed and that she worked at her father's company nearby, so, she can run back at any time. Only things I asked was that she feed my dogs 2x a day and walk them afterward. I believe she did just that and even sent 2-3 pics/day. This time, she took forever to get back to me each time I contacted her (one time I had to message her multiple times only to get a response the following day). When I went to drop off my dogs on 12-5, she did not answer the door. I had to bang on the door several times and call out before she came out of bed. Her excuse was that they had a party the night before and overslept. I already knew things felt very different than before when she seemed to barely listen when I was telling her the feeding instructions. During the 3 days, I got one measly photo (and one other completely blurred one) as compared to 2-3/day on the previous stay. Then, on the day of pick up, neither her or her boyfriend were able to meet me. I had to go back in the evening to pick them up. When I picked them up, I asked if they were walked and her answer was "no, but I fed them and played with them". I asked why I am not getting the same service and her response was "she just doesn't have the time any more"....actually, her exact words were "I don't have same schedule any more". My questions is why the hell is she still on Rover if she cannot deliver what she promises? To top it off, when I got home, I found that she neglected to return one of my dogs' bowls and I had to go back once again next morning to pick it up. Her heart is clearly not into this any more and its our babies she is watching. The only thing she did this time was left them alone in their house. She still wants the money but doesn't care about her service. I am very unhappy. Never, ever again.

Tanya and her husband were both very nice and accommodating in being able to be home at the time I needed to drop off my dogs (noon on a Friday). When I came by for a meet and greet and explained my dogs eating schedule (2x per day) and told them that I'd separate each meal into its own baggie and label each bag with their names to make everything super-simple. I did exactly that. There were 10 baggies total, 5 for Bear and 5 for Roxanne, put into a brown grocery bag, as they were going to be there for 2 1/2 days. However, when I picked them up on Sunday evening, they gave me back the grocery bag (which should have been empty by now) and it was heavy. I looked inside and was surprised to see most of their meals still in the bag. I questioned them and they said that they'd been giving the dogs 1/2 the amount because they weren't sure and it seemed like a lot of food. If they weren't sure, all they had to do was text me to clarify. Why would I give them double the amount of food they'd need? Instead they decided they knew better about how much food my dogs needed and fed them (what turned out to be) LESS than 1/2 of the food. Both of my dogs were very hungry when I picked them up. The reason I give them so many vegetables is because Bear gets constipatec easily and started licking his butt/anal glands if he doesn't get enough fiber. Well, he was doing exactly that this morning and both of my dogs struggled to poop after breakfast. I hate leaving negative reviews and like I said, they were nice people, but this was just nonsensical and unnecessary, easily preventable with a text message.

Information Tanya H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the habits of a dog before taking care of them. Dogs do have personalities and it's a good thing to know them before they are brought into someone else's care. As for breeds, I love them all. From mutts to purebreds all dogs are lovable.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We take our dog for walks up in Signal Hill, at the dog park off 7th st, or the dog beach near belmont shore. We like to go where they can play with other dogs or get a good workout in signal hill. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep wherever they please depending on where you would like them to sleep. They can sleep on the floor, the couch, or their own bed. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan on spending as much time as possible with your dog everyday. During the weekends Ray or I will be able to spend the whole day with them. During the week my work schedule is flexible so I can be with them in the morning, before work and the evenings. I can come check on them during my lunch break in the afternoon also. We will go walking every morning or evening with my dog either in the neighborhood, at the park, or the beach. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan on spending as much time as possible with your dog on a daily basis while you are away. My work schedule is flexible so, I will be able to be with your dog in the morning, a couple hours in the afternoon, and in the evening. Extra house-sitting services If I will be staying or dropping by your home to take care of your dog I do not mind taking care of your plants, other animals, and bringing in the mail.
