Would love to board your dog/cat
Pet care experience
I love dogs and cats! I grew up with and have experience caring for both cats and dogs (of all sizes: from welsh corgi to Bernese mountain dog). I'd love to meet you and your pet first before starting the sitting/walking.
Reviews
This is our second time sitting with Yvette and she and her husband did great again. They provided plenty of walks and updates on our dog and we are very grateful for the work that they did
There's no other way to say it: Yvette was wonderful! She gave my cat, Baby, lots of attention, affection and warmth. Baby had her own room with a cat tower and scratching posts. They even watched a movie together 🥰. I'm so grateful and very lucky to have found Yvette. Yvette sent photos everyday and an update. Having Baby stay with Yvette was a very positive experience! I wouldn't want Baby to stay anywhere else! Thank you, Yvette!
Yvette was so accommodating and very sweet to our pups. She took great care of their needs and kept us informed of how they were doing every day. If we could give 10 stars we would! Thank you so so so much Yvette for being so fantastic with our dogs.
Yvette took care of my girl for 2 nights. She sent me lots of pictures and took my puppy on hikes. I'd definitely recommend her, it's obvious that she took really good care of my dog and that my pup had tons of fun at her place.

We have a fully insulated one-bedroom pool house on the property ("dog AirBnB"), completely available for dogs to stay - specifically suitable for larger dogs or ones with higher energy levels. We also have a fenced yard downstairs where the dog can be let outside to hang out in addition to walks (normally we do 2 longer walks a day but depends on the owner's instructions). My husband and I love the outdoors and we like to bring the dogs along to our our regular hikes in the neighborhood. We have 2 indoor/outdoor cats that the we will ensure the dog will not come into direct contact with; however, please let me know if you dog is known to chase cats or would be set off by smelling cats in the general area - this normally doesn't happen when we have dogs over but it depends on the dog's personality (if you are unsure, that's fine). I only board one pet at a time unless they are from the same household and get along very well. I work from home and my schedule is really flexible so I can accommodate multiple walks a day and make sure your dog has a great time while they are staying with us.

A typical day
I work from home, my schedule is really flexible and I will be sending daily pictures and updates about your pet. With dogs, I usually do two longer walks a day in addition to them having access to our fenced yard. I had one (just one!) not so great experience on Rover in the past with someone watching my cats and not doing a good job communicating with me, and this made me understand even more how important it is to send regular updates and take the job of caring for someone loved companion seriously.
