Pet care experience
CaringReliable Intuitive PetLover💕
𝐌𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥M Is to give you peace of mind while you are away. You get to enjoy your trip, and come home to a tidy house and happy, relaxed pets. Pets don’t get “short trip” vs “long trip.” They just know you’re leaving, and that can stress them out. So I focus on more than food + potty breaks. I give them love, routine, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you’re gone. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 I bond with pets through slow walks, playtime, massages, cuddles, and even good morning songs if they like it. I’m patient with shy cats, the result is they usually end up following me room to room and joining movie night. For nervous or reactive dogs, I use calm, assertive energy to help them feel secure. I also have experience with leash pulling, separation anxiety, and senior pet care. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 Animals have been part of my life since childhood on my grandparents’ farm in Spain, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, you name it. That gave me natural instincts. Professionally, I’ve been a full-time sitter for 3 years with 70+ 5-star reviews and Rover’s “Star Pet Sitter” badge. I am a certified positive reinforcement trainer and canine psychology + behavior. 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 I love tidy spaces, so I’ll keep your home clean and cared for. I’ll water plants, bring in mail, and meet contractors if needed. 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 I know you’ll miss them. I’ll send daily photos and videos so you can see they’re doing great.I’m a 53-year-old solo sitter from Spain. Calm energy, reliable, and active, you’ll find me hiking by creeks on my days off.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and your house rules come first. At our meet & greet, I’ll ask about your pet’s routines and any boundaries you want me to follow indoors and out. A few things I always check: - Hikes, public spaces, off-leash parks. Yes or no? - Couch, bed, countertop access, especially for cats - Any rooms or areas that are off-limits While you’re away, I’ll send daily updates with texts, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy. 𝐈𝐧-𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐬: I’m totally fine with security cameras. Per the Rover policy, just disclose them before booking. For privacy, I can’t accept bookings where cameras are placed in the bedroom or bathroom assigned to me. Thanks for understanding, it helps me give your pet my full focus.
Ratings and reviews
Yolanda is a gem. It’s always hard for us to find someone we feel we can trust will look after our animals with the same level of attention and love that we provide. Yolanda clearly loves animals. Beyond that, she clearly has a special gift with them. Our 2 lgd dogs and needy cat fell in love with her! It was clear she gave them a lot of time and attention. She was also very communicative with us, and made sure to follow our instructions. Everything was in perfect order upon our return from our extended stay abroad. We are so glad we found Yolanda and look forward to having her pet sit for us again - we know the animals would love that as well!



Yolanda did an amazing job taking care of our dog and guinea pig. She was extremely responsive, conscientious and caring. She left our home spotless. She sent frequent updates throughout the day and I would highly recommend Yolanda.
Thank you! And apologies for the address mixup
Wow. Yolanda was truly the best sitter we've ever had. She went above and beyond in her care for both our cat (Sunny) and our home. She sent frequent updates, pictures and videos, which let us check in and see how much Sunny was being pampered. She was diligent about his care routine and ensured he was given his medication and frequent feedings, plus lots of loving caresses. We came home to a made bed with fresh sheets, which was an incredible gesture following a 3 hour flight delay. Our home was spotless upon return, leaving it in better condition than what we left for her. Yolanda goes above and beyond and is the premiere caretaker for your animal and home. 5 stars is truly too low of a rating.

Yolanda was really good with the dogs all went very very well. thank you


Yolanda was amazing with our collie! She had to manage a bunch of medications, and cleaning/medicating and putting socks on healing paws, and she handled it all like a pro! Our dog loves her, and she did a great job of making the house spotless for our return. Highly recommend Yolanda!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time job. Which means your pet becomes my priority. Bonding time, chatting, cuddling, and massages become part of our daily routine. I spend most of the time at home, so your pet gets lots of company and attention. When you send me a homesitting request, please let me know which service you need: Comfort, Companion, or Dedicated Care (described below). I’m tidy by nature. I’ll keep your home clean while I’m there and leave it the way I found it, or better. Kitchen, living room, guest room, bathroom, all cleaned before I go. Happy to put fresh sheets on or strip the bed, whatever you prefer. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Bedroom: I need a bed and some furniture to put my clothes, such as a table or some free hangers in the closet. I enjoy the pets sleeping with me, as long as there's enough room in the bed. Basement or ground-floor bedrooms are ok unless they are exposed to night noises or humidity. Let me know if there are other options in case I have difficulties sleeping down there. I would also appreciate finding some free space in the bathroom and in the fridge for my own stuff. 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 & 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 Happy to customize care for you! Rates vary based on services and schedule. Ask me for a quote, I’ll tailor pricing to fit your pet’s needs. 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐬 of 2 weeks or more are cheaper! 🐾 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 – 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 ..... $𝟣𝟤0 (If your pet fits here, ask me to apply the discount!!) Perfect for independent pets that are comfortable being alone up to 8 hours. This service includes overnight care in your home, feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, daily photo updates, basic home care, and plenty of affection, so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I still will spend a lot of time at home, but I appreciate and reward the flexibility and the easy pups. 🐶 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 – 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 ..... 150$ (Rover base fee) Designed for puppies and pets who feel more secure with someone nearby throughout the day. In addition to everything included in Comfort Care, I organize my schedule to be away no more than 5 hours at a time, providing extra companionship, reassurance, and consistency. ❤️𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 – 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 .... 250$ Ideal for pets with separation anxiety, medical needs, or those requiring almost constant supervision. This premium service includes personalized, one-on-one care with minimal time away from home (up to 2 or 3 hours maximum for personal duties), ensuring your pet receives the attention, comfort, and stability they need while you're away. This fee also covers up to 2 dogs and 3 small animals such as cats, bunnies, guinea pigs... 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐈 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 I’m happy to go beyond pet care. Here are extras I’ve helped past clients with: • 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 & 𝐇𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬... 💎 (Top tier) Lakeside strolls or mountain trail hikes. Great for high-energy pups who need more than a block loop. • 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 .... ⭐ (most popular) Reinforce basic obedience cues, leash manners, or help with reactivity. I use positive, low-stress methods and will follow your plan. • 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 Got a big yard, garden beds, or plants all over the house? No worries, you won't need to find a second person. I can hand-water, mow, pull weeds, and keep things tidy while you’re away. • 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐭 Leaving for a trip with a full laundry pile, crowded pantry, or cluttered rooms? Point those tasks to me and I'll leave your home neat and organized for your return and avoid a to-do list. (deep cleaning, laundry and organizing rooms/cabinets) I love customizing care, so if you have another need not listed here, just ask. If I can help safely, I will.
