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.
Cat care experience
Yessenia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
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.

Safety, trust & environment
At my home, my sun room is converted into a fenced area for my dogs. Small & Medium sized dogs are welcome to join. (fence is too low for a large+ dog) I have an unfenced yard, dogs would only go on there as I prepare them to go on a neighborhood walk. Pets would sleep on their individual beds inside the home. If I am house sitting and your pet is used to sleeping on the bed, that is okay with me. If your pet is staying in my home, I will be placing their bed inside or leave outside per your decision. (pet must be pad-trained or able to retain until morning)
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!

Availability
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. I would never schedule pet care if I could not get to your pets within 4-8hours (my calendar will be updated accordingly)! Afternoon care would involve me studying and going to the gym, everything modeled around whatever routine you& your pet are used to.
