About: My name is Estefany, throughout my life I have been accompanied by animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, monkeys, birds (hens and chicks specifically), ducks, parakeets, macaws, and others. However, during my most important stages I have been accompanied by faithful canine friends. Each pet that comes into our home is treated like one of the family. I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs, careful feeding, experienced with dogs from nursing new borns to senior dogs with a variety of different needs, grooming as well as potty and obedience training. I also love baking home made dog cookies for my personal dog in my spare time. I currently work part-time from home so I have extra time to care for, pamper, walk, exercise and provide the appropriate and necessary care for your furry friend. I am available to offer accommodation every day, starting at _6am_:_8pm_ I speak Spanish and English. My English is basic and i practice everyday to improve. At home we have a BIG fenced in yard that is reinforced all the way around for security and lots of fun things to do and explore in the yard. Inside we have a four bedroom house and each area is unique to accommodate every kind of dog. We dont like to use crates unless requested and we also keep all dogs separate unless requested otherwise (we have a sweet one year old poodle who has never met a dog who isn't her best friend as is willing interact with any family wanting their dogs to make new friends). We have beds for our dog friends to take a nap, although if your dog prefers his bed, no problem. Cleanliness and hygiene is very important here to keep everyone safe (I have enough bowls at home, as well as toys for dog guests), although if your dog has a preference, there is no problem. We are always willing to send updates on how its going and all the fun they are having!
About: I’ve cared for my family and friends pets for many years. I love to play hard with the dogs yet snuggle at night. I’ve cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs with 100% attention and love. I am currently working part time and can make my schedule work around your needs. I am wanting to care for pets as a full time job. I will ask for specific interests of your pet. Do they enjoy catching frisbees/balls? Do they need medications given? I love to hide treats/kibble to increase their brain activity. Play dog puzzles with them to stimulate more brain activity. From play time to night time snuggles… I aim to please! If your pup is happy, I’m even happier!

“Emily stayed with our two puppies for five days and four nights. She cared for them almost as much as me and their daddy did. I say almost because no one can give them the same love a pet parent does, lol. She stayed in constant contact with us so we were aware of what was happening throughout the day. We will definitely be requesting Emily's services again! Thank you!!”
