Ready to provide love and care

I'm a big cat person but have had a lot of experience caring for dogs in large social settings as well as an assortment of farm animals. Available for dogs, cats, fish, and other small mammal pets.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have three cats at home. One of them is leash trained so I do take her out on my patio sometimes or I pop open the cat tent for her to enjoy the outdoor safely. For dogs I am a big believer in making sure they are properly leashed and I am always mindful of my surroundings or any triggers that might set the dog off. I want them to have a safe and fun environment.

Yahawa was incredibly professional and followed every single instruction I left for her, making sure my dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. She kept me updated with thoughtful photo check-ins and even surprised me with a sweet collage of my precious boy. I cannot recommend her enough for the care, attention, and love she put into her time here.

Yahawa was a great house sitter for our dog Roma, she came a few weeks in advance of our trip to for a meet and greet which was very much appreciated and she was communicative about Roma’s needs throughout her time.

We couldn’t have asked for a better, kinder or sweeter person to watch over our dog. As a dog owner your pet is your family member and you want to trust the person in their care and in your home. Yahawa is all these things. I wouldn’t hesitate to yes yet again recommend her highly. Thank you!

Schedule

I am in vet school full time so drop ins and potty breaks will have to be worked around my class schedule. I can come early morning, do mid day breaks depending on my schedule, and mid to late afternoon. I'm available on weekends all day. Basically, most days I can do potty breaks every 4-5 hours but some days it may be closer to 6-7.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Yahawa can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
It would be good to know if they do not like being picked up/ touched in certain spots or if they're reactive to any specific things (ie. food or toy aggressive).
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.
