Pet care experience

Here for the pets when you can’t be

Hi! I’m Yvonne. I’ve had a passion for animal welfare for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me compassion, patience, and responsibility, and showed me how deeply animals rely on us for emotional support and safety. My pets were always family, and that connection continues to guide how I care for animals today. . In addition to my work here on Rover, I also run a small local pet care business. This background allows me to bring structure, reliability, and a high standard of care to every booking, while still offering the warm, personal attention pets deserve. . I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those with special needs or sensitive personalities. I take time to understand each pet’s unique preferences, routines, and emotional needs so they feel safe and at home while they’re with me. . I am always your pet’s primary caregiver for Rover bookings. I do have access to trusted support when needed, but anyone who helps with your pet’s care would only be involved with your approval first. This is only considered in specific situations, such as pets with special care needs, sensitive or reactive pets, or when an extra set of hands would be helpful. . Why pets and their owners feel at ease with my care: . • Lifelong hands-on experience with dogs and cats • Strong understanding of behavior and positive reinforcement training • Calm, emotionally aware, and patient care • Reliable and responsive communication • A secure, nurturing environment tailored to each pet • Bonded & Insured

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and secure environment. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and inside, pets are welcome throughout the home with plenty of cozy places to rest, relax, and feel completely at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and daily routines, and I always follow any specific instructions you provide with great care. Whether your pet needs a little extra reassurance, medication, structured enrichment, or a quiet retreat, I make sure they feel supported and understood. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I follow your house rules closely and ensure everything is left exactly as I found it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and you can trust that both your home and your furry family member will be well cared for. For your peace of mind, I am fully licensed, bonded, and insured, which allows me to provide a safe and professional level of care while still offering the personal, home-based experience pets are most comfortable with.

We were so lucky to book Yvonne at the last minute during the holidays. She took great care of our little Rochelle and sent us the most adorable picture of our little baby. We would definitely book Yvonne again if we're visiting the area.

To provide the best care, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. Helpful things to know include: Medical needs: Health conditions, medications, allergies, or diet restrictions. Alone time: How they do when left alone and how long they’re comfortable being unattended. Social behavior: How they do around dogs, cats, people, or other animals. Behavior notes: Any fears, triggers, anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, or habits I should know about. Current goals: Anything you’re working on that you’d like me to help reinforce. This helps me keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that feels familiar to them.
