“Our two dogs were here for the first time and seemed to adjust. Renee is flexible with my schedule changes. I was not worried about leaving our dogs with her and her family”
About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech

We got picture updates every few hours, got to see how comfortable our girl was even when she was nervous to leave us, and she even took her with no hesitation after knowing our babe might go into heat! There will never be a question again as to who we leave our girl with! If you don't choose Dominie, you're settling for second best!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m back home for the summer from college, so my schedule is open! Aside from family responsibilities, I can be pretty flexible with dates or times! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)
About: Ever since I can remember, I've always had cats around, making me a huge cat lover. Right now, I have four adorable cats of my own and also look after some neighborhood strays. My experience with cats isn't just personal; I've been the go-to person for taking care of my neighbors' and friends' cats too. This means I know all about the cuddles, playtime, and care they need to be happy. I truly believe cats are the most wonderful pets, and I understand how important it is to make sure they are well looked after and loved. I'm really good at making sure each cat feels special, whether it's through their favorite game or just some quiet time together. I know how to handle the small details, like giving them their medicine if they need it, and I'm all about making sure they're having a good time. To me, cats are part of the family, and I promise to treat yours with all the love and attention they deserve. Let me help take care of your furry friends; I'll make sure they're as happy as can be until you're back!

About: I've been raising dogs since I was a teenager. I've literally raised them from birth, I've got experience breeding dogs and have helped them during the birth process. I just recently became a cat owner so I don't have very much experience with them but am learning new things all the time about them. I'm not the grooming type so if you want nails clipped or trimming done I suggest seeking someone else for that. I'm okay with giving them baths but that's about the extent of it. I've walked up to 3 dogs at once so I'm efficient in walking dogs. As shown in my headline I'm a big animal lover, they're my weakness, kryptonite, Achilles heel. I'm more emotional over their deaths than humans. My availability varies due to having a part time job and having animals of my own to care for but I'm capable of juggling all that I make sure my pets always have food & water, I also make sure they go outside to relieve themselves and just to get some exercise

I live in a house with an all around brick wall and a lot of grass area for fun playing and running around. I also have some concrete areas

About: I was raised in a dog friendly family. I have taken care of dogs since my teenage years. I dog sit for family often. Dogs & Cats are family! I am a stay at home dog, cat, fish, and toddler mom. My daily schedule consist of rising early spending the morning outside with my animals. We like to tend to our yard and vegetable garden first. A trip to the park with my toddler and dog before it gets too hot is a must. My yard is fenced with brick at the end of a culdasec. We have one friendly dog and four cats. We all love being outside together. We travel as a pack. I feed the first meal around 6am and then usually open up the back door so the dog and cats can roam freely in the backyard. They like hanging in our veggie garden. Once my toddler wakes up we will go for a walk, play, or even go to the park. We love to pet and cuddle our animals throughout the day. We feed again around 5pm. Your dog or cat will get plenty of love while in my care. I want them to feel part of our family!
About: My name is Valeria. I have taken care of pets since I was a child and my love for them has only grown as I have gotten older.

Growing up I had 3 dogs who I helped with the pet sitting, long or short walks, giving them their medications at the appropriate times, as well as taking good care of them. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. One of the most important parts of being a dog walker is having empathy for them. I am always excited to meet new dogs and help them get exercise and fresh air. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!

“Our two dogs were here for the first time and seemed to adjust. Renee is flexible with my schedule changes. I was not worried about leaving our dogs with her and her family”
About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech

We got picture updates every few hours, got to see how comfortable our girl was even when she was nervous to leave us, and she even took her with no hesitation after knowing our babe might go into heat! There will never be a question again as to who we leave our girl with! If you don't choose Dominie, you're settling for second best!”

“This was our first time trying out Rover and it was a great experience! We recently adopted a very old dog that has some medical needs. The idea of putting her in a boarding facility while we took our family vacation was causing a lot of stress and worry for me. I found Alondra on Rover and we set up a meet & greet. It was so great having the opportunity to meet Alondra first and see that she had a lovely home environment. My 3 young kids tagged along, and Alondra was very sweet with them too. Listened to all their instructions and advice which made them very happy she would be our dog sitter. Booked our stay after that. Drop off day went great. We received photos and videos several times a day during our trip which the kids loved seeing. Alondra followed all my lengthy instructions, and my dog was very well cared for. Pick up went great as well. So happy we had such a wonderful experience with Alondra. Would absolutely book with her again as well as recommend her to other friends and family. Thanks Alondra!”
“Whitney was outstanding watching mine and my husband’s fur baby June! She constantly sent updates and pictures and even took our June on a walk. June loved her, I don’t feel comfortable leaving our baby with anyone but Whitney has definitely became the exception! She was amazing and I will be using her again. My husband and I both recommend her to all our family and friends. She is very attentive to our puppy and made sure she was well taken care of. Definitely had a great experience!”
