I grew up having dogs and I have always loved all animals. I run a travel business that takes me away a few times a year, so I can’t have my own pet — but I’d love to care for yours. I work from home most days, so I’m around and flexible. Long hours on the computer can get lonely, and having a dog to care for makes a huge difference for me. I’ll make sure it makes a difference for your pet too. *What I Offer Your Pet* - *Active companionship*: I love walks and runs, and I’d enjoy the company on daily outings. - *Calm, safe environment*: My home is clean, quiet, and peaceful. Dogs settle in quickly here. - *Pet-ready space*: Fenced yard that dogs love, crates if needed, a doggie bench by the window, plus balls and toys for play. - *Gentle care*: I have a quiet, calm personality. Pets seem to love my Spanish accent and soft tone of voice. I’m intuitive and sensitive to what animals need. *Safety, Trust & Environment* Safety comes first. My home is clean, quiet, and fully set up for pets with a fenced yard, so dogs can play and burn energy safely off-leash. I keep hazardous items secured, use crates when needed for naps or decompression, and always supervise playtime. I have a nice deck with big windiws and plenty of toys for enrichment, so pets feel comfortable and stimulated. I work from home most days, so pets aren’t left alone for long stretches. I stick to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest to keep them settled. I’m calm and intuitive, and I pay close attention to body language so I can adjust if a pet seems stressed or needs space. *Trust & Communication:* I know you’re trusting me with family, so I keep communication open. I’ll message you with updates, photos, and let you know right away if anything unusual comes up. I’m reliable, flexible, and I care for each pet like I would my own. Bottom line: calm environment, clear routine, constant supervision, and lots of love. Pet care fits right into my day since I work from home running my travel business. My schedule is flexible, so I can structure my work around your pet’s routine. *A typical day looks like:* - *Morning*: First walk and feeding right after I start my day. If your dog likes runs, mornings work great for that too. - *Midday*: Break for a walk, playtime in the yard, or cuddle time while I take a break from work. - *Afternoon/Evening*: Another walk, play with toys/balls, and sticking to your feeding and bedtime routine. Since I’m home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available for extra potty breaks, longer walks, and quick check-ins between tasks. I travel for work a few times a year, but when I’m home I’m fully available. For boarding or drop-ins, I plan my work calls around walks and playtime so your pet gets consistent attention. If I have a busy day coming up, I’ll let you know ahead of time and adjust the schedule to make sure nothing gets missed. Basically: work happens around the dog, not the other way around. I’m looking forward to giving your dog or cat the same care and attention I’d give my own. If you think we’d be a good fit, send me a message and we can set up a meet and greet.
