About: I recently relocated from the PNW to Melbourne FL for a job transfer. I’m an animal lover who has owned various small and big dogs, eg Yorkies, Labs, etc., for most of my life. I’ve also owned a few indoor only cats over the years. My home is clean and tidy with lots of comfortable dog beds and lots of backyard space for zoomies! There’s also a large toy box full of fun toys for your pet to take home one souvenir at their first Dogcation or Dayplay adventure. Daily pictures/videos for the owners and each pet receives their own report card on their stay. I work from home (M-F) 95% of the time unless I’m traveling for work/holiday, which is about twice a year. So I can offer 1:1 time with your fur baby. I’m available for most major holidays. I’m also very organized and flexible for any last minute changes to drop-off/pickup times. My former PNW pet client references are available upon request. Thumper and I look forward to meeting you and your pet family! I work from home (M-F) 95% of the time unless I’m traveling for work/holiday, which is about twice a year. I’m also available for most of the major holiday seasons. I have a home, with a large fenced yard. I have one 12.5 yrs., 24lb, Jack Russell Terrier/Dachshund mix named Thumper. He’s very docile and gets lots along with most dogs, especially dogs his size. Since I work from home, he can use a friend or two to spice things up for him before I take everyone out for daily morning walks around the neighborhood. All dogs are welcome to cuddle on the sofas and beds.

About: I have had pets my whole life and was a veterinary technician for 4 years. I will love your fur baby like my own! I am experienced with all breeds and temperaments, even your most high energy pet will be satisfied at the end of our visit! I am also able to give medications, as well as attend to more chronic conditions such as diabetes. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Let me know what your pet likes to do/ is allowed to do in your home! I want your fur babies to be happy and comfortable. I currently work from home and am studying to be a graphic designer. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can fit pet caregiving into my schedule nicely. I cannot board animals at the place that I live, but I am able to care for your pets at your home! Please give detailed instructions on how your typical routine goes. If you crate your pet during certain hours, when they have scheduled feedings or they free feed, if they have a certain amount of potty breaks, etc.
18. Adriana L.
“We are a family with 3 special needs dogs. They all require medication and eye drops . Adriana happily handled the complicated process even getting up during the night several times with one of the dogs when they were needing to go out . It’s a great feeling to know that our dogs received love while we were away . Our dogs love her . Often we received photos and videos of our dogs, always happy and tail wagging .”
19. Brian B.
“Brian is always a lifesaver and takes amazing care of my two doggies whenever I travel out of town. My doggies absolutely adore him and are always well-fed and very happy. Brian is definitely the best and is the most dependable and reliable person I’ve ever worked with on Rover. I look forward to working with him again very soon and my doggies will be thrilled to see him during my next trip. Thanks Brian!”
