Premium Top Rated Pet Care!
Pet care experience
I started pet sitting on Rover over 6 years ago (March 2017) with my daughter who is now 16 years old. As an at home mompreneur and homeschooler, pet sitting became the perfect business for our lifestyle. *UPDATE* - my daughter started public High School Fall 2022 so I no longer homeschool - but we still work this business together :) Because we are a mom and daughter pet sitting duo, we bring a very special and unique kind of care to our pet sitting business that our clients absolutely love and adore! (check out my reviews) Between my 20 + years of dog/animal experience coupled with my daughter's love and passion for animals, your pets will be in great hands with us. We specialize in dogs of all breeds and sizes as well as cats :) But we care for all animals, including exotics such as rabbits, reptiles, etc. We also have barn animal experience such as chickens & roosters, etc. Our main services provided are: -drop-ins -house-sitting For House-sitting: Arrival: 8pm-10pm (day booking starts) Departure: 9am (last day of booking) Arrival/departure will depend on my calendar’s availability. *Note: if you would like me to arrive before and/or after the times stated above, additional rates may apply. **Also note: if your animal is special needs, therefore in need of extra care, please message me and I will let you know if I’m available to provide the extra care during your dates. ***IMPORTANT NOTE: all animals, especially dogs must be kid-friendly (NO Exceptions!)

Thanks for taking wonderful care of our sweet Shelby!
This was Captain’s first time with Yolanda. She took care of him in our home for two days. Cap can be a handful because he’s reactive to dogs and cars. She did a great job of anticipating issues and redirecting his attention. Overall, Yolanda was very professional, gave us updates and photos twice a day and responded quickly whenever we tried to contact her. We’ll be happy to have her take care of him again.
This was a 30-minute pre-house/dog sitting get-to-know-you visit/walk with Captain. He was delighted and so were we! Yolanda is very pleasant, organized and professional. We’re comfortable that we’ll be leaving him in very capable hands.
It was my first time leaving my dogs with anybody that wasn’t family so I was super nervous. I’m so happy I found Yolanda, she gave me a great vibe from the start without even meeting her in person yet. The meet and greet went great, the dogs loved her and her daughter. She kept giving me updates and sending pictures which I really appreciated. They were both so caring with the dogs, they felt comfortable with them and my mind was at ease while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone that needs these services and will definitely book with her again whenever I need.
