Information Yolanda W. would like to know about your pet

I almost always schedule meet and greets before booking with new clients that way we can discuss the likes/dislikes, habits etc of their pet(s). This is a very important part of my being able to efficiently care for each and everyone.

A typical day

Spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, I aim to make it an enjoyable time for both myself and the dog/cat I am caring for.

Pet care experience

I've been a sitter on Rover since 2018 and really dig the job. I've walked dogs of different ages/sizes as well as cared for and have a cat of my own. I also have experience distributing medication to both cats and dogs. My schedule is often pretty flexible, but it helps to reach out in advance, if you can, because I do receive requests often. I'm attentive, intuitive, friendly, and love connecting with both humans and animals alike.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
