helloo! And welcome to my rover page 😃 A little about me I’m from Nashville and been in Austin for 2 years.I currently work in a small animal clinic as a veterinary assistant. I worked as a kennel tech but I only worked with dogs at the time I have 2 dogs which they are a blue heeler name luna and a border collie name Susie they’re back home in TN with their grandparent, as well the cat is my sister’s but that’s my little nephew Ernie. I always cared for animals since a kid I absolutely love caring them. *****PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING**** Dog parents: if you need me to walk or care for your dog, I do recommend that you let me meet your dog in person just so your dog can be aware and to see if he/she likes me. If it’s last minute, that’s fine but it just depends on your dog’s energy. If they are a leash puller when walking please let me know as well or reactivate to other dogs as well. Last minute booking: I am only available at 6pm (during the week) if you need me to walk your dog or any service that might be needed. As of right now I am not accepting super last minute I need a day in advance not the day of. Cat parents: You don’t necessarily have to do a meet up since cats are mostly chill. If your pet takes medication please let me know if they have to take it with food or if I will have any problems giving them their meds. I AM CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE TO DO DROP INS MID DAY. I AM ONLY AVAILABLE TO CHECK ON YOUR PET IN THE MORNING 7am-9am AND EVENINGS 6:00pm-8:30pm. ANY SERVICES THAT ARE REQUESTED IN THW AFTERNOON WILL BE DECLINED. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT OUTSIDE OF ROVER Im pretty quick on replying but 7pm I stopped using my phone. If you happen to send me a message during that time I will most likely reply back to you in the morning between 7am or 10am. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WITHIN 12-24 HOURS. SERVICE WILL BE DECLINED. Housesit: Please provide any information the day of the service start. Meaning instructions to get inside. I will mostly likely reach out the day before the service start to make sure the days you requested are correct or need to make last minute adjustments. Pictures will be taken during my stay with them but usually send them the last day. If you would like me to send them daily while I am with your pet please let me know. Please communicate with me and be mindful If you have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to answer your questions ☺️

My cats are still alive. Otherwise, this was a disappointing experience. Very short visits, minimal care for our shy cat, left our door unlocked. Would not recommend.

Yecenia came to our home and dog-sat. The pups really like her and were well taken care of. Will hire her again.
