I am a medical student on clinical rotations so this varies. But I am an early morning riser, and can fit in a 1-2 mile walk/run (whatever you& your pet are comfortable with) before starting my day. If the location is near my area, lunch visits to your pets are possible. Afternoon care would involve me studying and going to the gym, everything modeled around whatever routine you& your pet are used to.

Safety, trust & environment

When we are home our two boys stay inside, they love head pats and jump up for hugs/cuddles. In the summer time we have a fenced backyard patio where they stay during the day. In the winter time, we set up an enclosed area in our basement so they stay warm while we’re at work/school. They are small bodied but take up our queen sized bed!

Information Yessenia H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires medications: dosage, frequency, and treat to use to give to them. If your dog is reactive to certain animals (squirrels/bunnies) etc- so I could watch out for them on walks.

A typical day

Will walk and/or run with your pet while exploring nearby trails/hikes (at comfort of owner)! Belly scratches & fetch during study breaks. If they have a favorite snack and you tell me what commands they know, I will have them do some here and there! If your pet is trained off leash, would love to take them to play fetch!

Pet care experience

I started caring for pets in college (~2015), I am now a Medical student at PSCOM. Pet care is a great way to raise funds for my education and do something I love! My dedication to my education and my responsibilities as a pet caretaker go hand-in-hand. I will apply my time management skills to ensure your pet gets the upmost care and I succeed as a medical student. I grew up with dogs: chihuahuas, german shepherds, saint bernards, and pitbulls. I have cared for small-to-extra large dogs. Loved each experience! I love to run/walk near-by trails and hikes. If you are comfortable with me taking your pets, I would gladly do so! I always send photo updates. I have two Jack Russel mixes of my own, they have taught me everything (I didn't know) about pet ownership and responsibility! I walk them 1-2miles daily, if your dog is pet friendly and you are comfortable with it, I will walk them with your dog! If you want me to house sit, I will be studying most of the time and would appreciate a well-lighted desk and/or kitchen table! Would love to get to know your fur-baby! Happy to answer any questions.

Yessenia took excellent care of our two pups & our home! Her communication was great throughout our trip, and she provided a lot of pictures. We would love to have her sit for us again!

Yessenia is a highly capable dog/house sitter. She takes her care very seriously, and pays utmost attention to the pet’s well being. As a pet owner herself, she looks after pets as if they are her own. I highly recommend her for someone looking for a caring, respectful, and flexible dog/house sitter.
