About: (PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO AND PRICING). Hello, everyone! I am a college student who has more than 10 years of personal experience with a variety of dogs. I've raised and taken care of Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Dalmatians and Labradors in the past and currently own a 9 year old Labrador/Pitbull mix and 2 Rottweiles. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of dogs on my free time as I work out with my own. There's a big park with a dog run right next to me so your baby will always be taken care of and I also keep an AC in the living room for the hotter days. In addition to that, I have worked with dogs with separation anxiety and am very aware of the struggles dealing with that so I always make sure when I take a Rover booking, that the dog is never alone in the house. Furthermore, I have no issues sending pictures and videos of your baby as we all would like to know how our babies are doing when we are not with them. Thank you so much for taking a look at my services and feel free to book me up! FYI, I am very comfortable and very good with big and strong doggos :-). I take pleasure in giving your baby one on one time withNL NO OTHER DOGS at the same time as yours so that they can fully enjoy their time I go to school online so I am able to be with pets 24/7. I also make sure that pets do not stay alone ever while in my care. I do ask however, for clients to stick to their drop-off and pick-up times to respect my time as I respect theirs and their pets', and to avoid any late fees or extra charges. LATENESS: To accommodate for my time and services, this is the lateness , cancelation and time change policy: 3 days in advance for full refund and no additional charges for changes. OVERNIGHT BOARDING 1 DAY ONLY DOG MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 10PM AND PICKED UP BY 8AM LATEST (I HAVE FLEXIBILITYIF NEEDED), LATE FEES WILL APPLY AFTER THAT OF $25 PER 15 MINUTE PERIOD, FOR UP TO 2 HOURS AND BEYOND THAT, DOGGY DAYCARE CHARGES WILL APPLY IF PICKED UP LATER THAN 2 HOURS ON TOP OF THE LATE FEE. DOGGY DAYCARE 1 DAY ONLY DOG MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 10AM AND PICKED UP BY 8PM (I HAVE FLEXIBILITY IF NEEDED), LATE FEES WILL APPLY AT $25 PER 15 MINUTES OF LATENESS AND UP TO 2 HOURS.

About: For a few years I’ve taken care of these cute little dogs, one has anxiety so I minister medicine in the food and looked after if they were anxious while they sleep. I currently looking for work after finishing college. I love animals so I feel like I would rather care for them while you’re away or busy with work during the week. I feel like while you’re away, for you and your pet/s sake you can be stress free if they stay in their calming environment home. So I’ll pet sit your dog or cat in the clients home.

South Bronx pet parents share their Rover experiences
Symba was an exceptional host. He has great communication skills and I could tell by the photos that Leo was super happy to see him every day! There was also little snafu with my roommate missing a flight and still being in the apartment when Symba arrived, and Symba was very professional about the situation. Thank you for that
Jasie provided exceptional service! She was extremely communicative/flexible and provided reassuring updates and photos each drop in. I booked on rover last minute and thanks to Jasie I will definitely be using her services again!
Working with Mikey was super easy and simple. They took great care of my cat Walter and were quick to respond to any communication.
Dominick was absolutely exceptional! So thorough, and provided such detailed, thoughtful, and frequently hilarious narratives about visits with our cats! We will definitely be booking again! Thank you!
Ai was super professional and friendly. We met before I left, which helped me feel very secure to leave my precious angel for the weekend. Thank you, Ai!!
Alicia was amazing! She took great care of my Shih Tzu over the holiday weekend and was incredibly patient and understanding, especially when I had some unexpected issues with my door lock. She kept me updated regularly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I truly appreciated her kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Extremely sweet and communicative! My cat loved her and she did a great job following my instructions
So thankful for the amazing care Estephania gave my cat over the weekend! She was kind, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a happy kitty, couldn’t have asked for better care!
Julien is the best! Our cats love her and we love seeing the photos from Julien every visit. She is communicative, reliable, and a great cat person.
I’m always able to fully relax while I’m away knowing that my girl (cat, Astrid) is in your care. Your attention to detail, gentle nature, and genuine love for animals give me so much peace of mind. Thank you for treating her like your own, and for humoring all my ridiculous requests! I truly appreciate you!
Marissa has watched my cats more times than I can count, and every single time she’s gone above and beyond. She’s incredibly dependable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals my cats absolutely adore her I always return to fresh water, full food bowls, a clean litter box, and most importantly, happy and relaxed cats. I’ll keep booking Marissa as long as she’ll let me anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets. also, she leaves very funny status notes!
Thank you for everything. It wasn’t an easy job. We were so worried about our elderly cat. Leonore did a great job with our old man. Thank you!
Always reliable, punctual, and communicative!! We always have peace of mind when Amaya is watching our pup! Will book again!!

Laura has been wonderful. She always takes such great care of our puppy. We really appreciate her flexibility as well. I highly recommend!
This was the second time we hired Meghan. We reached out on short notice, and she handled everything seamlessly. She followed our instructions carefully, was always on time, and kept our home neat and tidy. Most importantly, Jazz and Blues were clearly comfortable with her.
