Pet care experience

..that I'm a great dog sitter! The 10th dog was chasing a squirrel when the poll was taken. My name is Heysel and I absolutely adore dogs! My experience with the dogs that have surrounded me growing up makes it easy for me to know how to care for one. Growing up I've had two German Shepherd's, a basset hound, a golden retriever and Labrador mix, a rescued pit bull and we now have a mini schnauzer. As you can probably tell, I love all dogs of all sizes. Although I do have a dog, Bonita, I also have other pets around the house (guinea pig and birds). I've been dog sitting for friends and family for sometime so I know how to pamper doggies and give them the attention they need. I can assure you that your buddy will be cared for very well on their stay here. My prices do change depending on the time they'll be staying so please let me know so we can figure something out.

Heysel is very patient for answering all the question and set up time to meet before I booked Jace's stay, since I'm first time using Rover she gave enough information for how it works, Jace was not neutered yet but she decided to have him during my vacation. Somehow during Jace's stay while Heysel was not home his crate's door opened and Jace escaped from it and chow on something at home and broke her dog's travel cage and I had to got a new one for Heysel, that was quite uncomfortable. I left a very specific instruction for how to have him peacefully before I go, and I didn't expected it would happen. I felt sorry but it also was something new for me too, maybe he learned how to open the door by himself, but anyway I'm happy he didn't run out from the house or happened something more serious. I give a 4 star is because when I got Jace he is very very stinky, stinky until I had a headache while I drive him home. And I don't know if this is also the reason that he barked a lot in the end of his stay or simply because he want me back. But in the general I think he has a good stay with her and I'm happy I can have him back. Thank you.

Heysel was great and extremely responsible. She was good about taking pictures of both my cat and dog and sending them along. Overall, the place looked just like I left it. I would recommend Heysel and she is helping us again at the end of September.

Haysel has been AWESOME as a daytime sitter for our English Bulldog, Kingsley. He is very happy to see her in the morning and comes home nice and tired. We often receive pictures of him out for walks or at the Stern Grove Dog Park. Thanks Heysel!!! :D ~Charlie

This was the first time we used Heysel to watch out dogs. She was very professional, she met us first at the dog park to get to know the dogs better. We went over some of the needs of my dogs and she described where they would stay and who would be in the home. We dropped the dogs off on a Friday and picked up on a Sunday. Our guys seemed very tired the next day, and they seemed like they had a good time. My one piece of feedback I would say is I would have liked Heysel to give me a little more information on what my dogs did, did they eat and some other information. We will definitely use Heysel again and look forward to gaining a little more insight on their overall stay next time.

Information Heysel D. would like to know about your pet

Do they get along well with other dogs? Are they okay to be off leash at a dog park or the beach? Is there any medication that they need? How long after they eat do they need to be taken outside to do their business? What are some commands that they know? I also ask if you have a specific schedule for them that you'd like me to follow, I would gladly do so. My goal is to make your pup as comfortable and not as stressed as possible, and keeping up with their routine helps a lot! When dropping them off (or if necessary, I pick them up) please have: Their favorite toys bowl(s) food/treats harness/leash doggy bags and any medication they need. Unless you feel otherwise, its not necessary to bring their bed since I allow them to sleep on my beds. (yes, I have two beds)

A typical day

Your pup will be pampered and spoiled by my younger siblings and myself. Everyone in my home also loves dogs so they will be played with a bunch, by the time you pick them up they'll be all tired out! I live next to Lake Merced and Ocean Beach where I can take your little buddy on walks after they eat. I also live near the dog park by stern grove and go there often if your bud is good off leash. I take them on walks 2-3 times a day, morning and night for 20 minutes and in the evening for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on my schedule. They'll get the necessary exercise they need without a problem. Please don't hesitate to ask questions! I'm friendly and easy to work. I like to keep up the same routine and schedule your pup has when you're at home so I ask for a schedule (if there is one) and a couple parks around your house where you usually take you pup to walk and play. If you feel the need to add anything else, I urge you to. I can either stay with your pup throughout the day or I can stay overnight with them, I just need you to specify what you would want - this also varies with price. Please, don't hesitate to ask questions, I'm really easy to work with and will go with what you're most comfortable with. Have a great day!
