Pet care experience
I am fully insured and bonded specifically for pet sitting/ dog walking. I understand that your companion is not just a pet, but a valued member of the family. Your peace of mind and trust in me as a caregiver, is held to the highest importance. I have experience caring for special needs pets with medical conditions, including diabetics who require scheduled injections. In addition, I have cared for pets who are blind/deaf, and experience mobility restrictions, who require more assistance while going outside to bathroom. On my free time, I enjoy distance and trail running, so if you have a high energy dog who would benefit from exercise, I’m more than happy to take them out on a jog/walk, rain or shine😊 I’ll always update you with photos and videos, so you know how the visit went.
Reviews
Always does a wonderful job for us!
My pup, Willow, was well cared for by Yolanda while I was away. She kept her active and always showed up on time and followed the feeding and potty schedule. Highly recommend!!
Yolanda took care of my sweet boys while I was out of town and they loved her! She took lots of pictures, followed any instructions I had left, and also went above and beyond. Will definitely be using her again when needed!!
Yolanda takes wonderful care of our 2 kitties. She makes sure hang out with them and give them lots of love and attention when she visits. We could not be happier with her care of our fur babies and make sure we sign up her every time we travel. We are repeat fans of Yolanda.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm always mindful that all pets should be greeted with a slow introduction, that does not come off as intrusive, or threatening. Even the most social pets, can behave differently when an unfamiliar person enters their home while family is not present. I always take that into consideration upon each visit, as I get to know your dog/cat, and build a trusting relationship. Whether your pet goes out on a leash, uses a fenced in yard, or requires potty pads to go to the bathroom, I'll follow your instructions as discussed through the Rover app, or during our initial "meet and greet".
Information Yolanda A. would like to know about your pet
-Medication schedule -Behavioral issues that may affect walking your pet on public sidewalks, history of biting or aggression while being fed. -Ongoing medical conditions -Vet number and/or emergency contact
A typical day
I’m a distance runner, so if you have a highly active dog that has lots of energy, I can take them on a productive walk, jog, or run. My services depend on your specific requests and needs, so just let me know what you’re seeking in a caretaker.

Availability
I work three nights a week at a hospital, and leave the remaining day/nights open for this pet sitting/walks. I’m flexible on my availability, so let me know what type of care and schedule you desire for your pet, and we can arrange something that works! My Rover schedule does not always reflect my openings and availability, and I can usually make my schedule work around my clients’ needs 😊
