Your pup's other best friend
Pet care experience
🏳️🌈 I'm a very responsible, experienced and caring pet sitter. In addition to being an engineer, art enthusiast, and former dancer, I consider myself a devoted friend and animal lover. My family and I have been dog-sitting for almost a decade now, and we always do our best to make sure your beloved pet has a great time with us. I love dogs and really enjoy playing with them, cuddling with them, and taking them for walks. I have a dog of my own, which means I have slowly accumulated a large collection of dog-related essentials, including dog tags with my contact information, leashes with handy add-ons for walks, harnesses, collars, carriers, bowls, pee pads, shampoo, deodorant, brushes, treats, chewing toys, balls, squeaky toys, and puzzle toys. I can bring any of these to use while I care for your pet if you just let me know beforehand. I am not a certified trainer but I continually work on expanding my knowledge on the subject. I am certified in Pet CPR & First Aid, I have completed Holly&Hugo Animal Psychology and Pet Sitting courses with Distinction, and I'm a lifetime member of Professional United Pet Sitters (PUPS). I appreciate the amount of trust people place in me when they let me take care of their pets or let me into their homes, and I promise to be responsible and respectful. My definition of fun is playing board games and watching movies, so I can assure you that I won't do anything you wouldn't want me to. I will follow all your instructions closely and will send you pictures as often as you want so you can have peace of mind while you are away. Why I love dog sitting: My poodle Poofy kept me company and played with me since I was in the crib. Afterward, my cocker Marilyn kept me sane almost all the way through high school. My best friend is a cuddly 6-year-old Havanese who looks like an adorable teddy bear. Other breeds of dogs that have been part of my family: Shar Pei, Boxer, Maltese, and Scottish Terrier. Before I started dog-sitting on Rover, I looked after Ginger for a few days while my friend was on vacation. The lovely Boston Terrier you see in my pictures is the reason I started dog-sitting. NOTE: there is an additional charge of $10/day for pets that need special care (e.g. eye medications, extra exercise, constant supervision, etc.) and for bookings that begin before 8am or end after 9pm.
Reviews
Violeta did a great job of looking after my two cats while I was away for a week. She sent pictures every day, and I came back home to two happy cats.
Can really tell she has experience and is dedicated to making every walk with Wesley and enjoyable and beneficial one :) I have noticed improved walking etiquette after walking with Violeta 💕
Maggie loves her. And I am always assured she’ll be well cared for and given lots of affection. I will always try to book her when I need someone.
Great, as always.
