I have a reliable car and can easily drop off / pick up your pup so they can stay comfortably in my home with my bernese while you are away.

Information ysobel e. would like to know about your pet

I require your pet to be up to date on all vaccinations. I would be curious to know your dog’s walking patterns (good with other dogs? specific ways to get them to go potty? do they pull? do they need coaxing? etc.) before taking them for a walk. I would also need to make sure your dog is friendly with people & my bernese!

A typical day

I love long walks around any neighborhood! Getting outside and active is the best way to keep dogs entertained. I love giving my dog enrichment toys and spending quality time together cuddling up!

Pet care experience

For the safety of all dogs in our home, we require that boarding and daycare dogs are current on the Bordetella vaccination (kennel cough) and are on a veterinarian-recommended flea/tick preventative. Please let me know if your dog has had any recent illness, vomiting/diarrhea, coughing, or concerns about fleas, ticks, or other contagious conditions. Hello! I am newer to Rover, but will provide external references upon request! I grew up having multiple dogs at a time. I have experience will all ages ranging from puppy (8+ weeks) to senior dogs needing life-supporting assistance. I am obsessed with all dogs and while I would love to have several.. spoiling one is enough for me right now! Though in order to fill that void, I am happy to host dogs in my home part-time. I have a 5 year old bernese mountain dog (that hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t love!) that would be SO happy to share his home with your pup while you are out of town!

My first time using river, and Ysobel did not disappoint! Her dog Yves is incredibly sweet, and Ysobel was kind enough to send multiple pictures of my dog throughout her boarding. Could not recommend Ysobel enough.

We are so grateful for stepping in on such short notice after our original sitter canceled at the last minute. From the moment we connected, you made us feel completely at ease.You took wonderful care of willow, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated her like one of your own. You could tell from her smile :) It made such a difference knowing she was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate your flexibility, kindness, and reliability. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter! Thanks again and we will be in contact for another stay soon

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.
