I have lived with pets my whole life, and dogs have always been a very important part of my life. A few years ago I lost my longtime dog, and later I also lost the dog I had been sharing with my ex partner due to life circumstances.

Since then, I have deeply missed having a dog around, which is one of the main reasons I would love to care for dogs here. I have thought about adopting, but at this stage of my life, pet sitting is the best way for me to give dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve.

I live with my twin sister and my 7-year-old niece in a 3 1/2 apartment with good plenty of room, and both are very comfortable with me doing this. My sister also does pet sitting, so we are familiar with the routine and responsibility.

I like to follow each dog’s usual routine, because every dog is different. They eat and go out at different times, and I will adapt depending on their needs and routine. At the same time, exercise is very important to me, so during the day I always enjoy exploring new places to go with dogs, as well as dog parks where they can socialize, have fun, and enjoy their time.

I am also aware that some dogs may require medication. My dog, who was with me for 13 years, and my cats back in my hometown have needed medication at times, so this is not a problem for me as long as the dog is gentle and comfortable with it. For any emergency, I would like to have an emergency contact before the owner leaves their dog with me. I will also always keep a nearby emergency veterinary number on hand.

I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats within my family. During each 6-hour care block, I try to include one outing, usually around 30 minutes after meals, or earlier if needed. I aim for each outing to last between 30 and 45 minutes and include both physical exercise and mental stimulation.

Your dog will never be left alone, because I do not like dogs to feel lonely. I also do not keep dangerous objects in my home that could put a pet at risk. I have a balcony as well, which can be a great spot if your pet enjoys sitting calmly and watching birds or people passing by.

I am familiar with toxic foods for dogs and with behaviors that should not be normalized, so if you have any preferences you would like me to follow as part of your dog’s training, I am all ears. I trained my Australian Shepherd myself when I was living in the U.S., from the time she was given to me at just 3 weeks old. I am very patient, and I truly enjoy seeing dogs learn and develop good behavior.

Last but not least, I am a very calm person and I prefer spaces without excessive noise. I also understand that dogs can be sensitive to specific stimuli, some more than others, and I know how to recognize when they are feeling anxious. My pit bull was anxious, so I became familiar with how to respond in those moments. That said, I am always open to following your preferred protocol in case your dog experiences anxiety.

I offer dog care in 6-hour time blocks only.

• On Mondays and Tuesdays, I am available from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., depending on availability.
• I also offer boarding/overnight care every day of the week, depending on availability, in the following time blocks: 7:00 p.m. to 01:00 a.m. and 01:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. depending on availability.

I also take care of max two dogs at a time-if they come from the same household to avoid any problem between the puppies.

If you are interested in me taking care of your dog or wish to have more information I will be available anytime to answer! 🫶🏽
