About: I have grown up with dogs ranging from corgis to labs to Australian shepherds and have had experience since I was little. I have recently taken care of 2, 6 month old puppies and if that isn’t a challenge I don’t know what is! I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbors dogs throughout the last year! I hope to meet your furry friend and hope I can make their time away from you as easy as possible. Pet care is very easy for me because I am always readily available. I am up very early to let dogs out and am home almost the entire day to check in on pups or transport them when needed.

Since I offer all the services possible, depending on the selected offer, I can be available for almost everything. Whether your pet is staying overnight, or needs to be let out during the day my schedule is very flexible to meet the demands of your fur baby!

17. Laia B.
“Laia is my sister, and I can say without a doubt that she will provide the safest, most loving care to any pet entrusted to her. From the time she was little, her love for animals has always shone brightly. She has an incredible way of connecting with them, whether it's her own beloved cats or any animal she meets. I’ve seen her go above and beyond to ensure her pets are happy, healthy, and loved, treating them as if they were her own children. She’s not just a pet owner, she’s a true animal lover with a heart full of compassion. Laia has always been the most caring and considerate person I know. She has a gentle spirit and a natural warmth that animals are instantly drawn to. Whether it’s patiently coaxing a shy cat out of its shell or taking the time to play and engage with a high-energy dog, Laia has the perfect balance of patience, empathy, and love. As someone who has entrusted her with the care of my own pets, I can personally vouch for the peace of mind she brings. Laia is incredibly responsible and attentive, always making sure that every need is met, whether it’s a special diet, extra playtime, or just some quiet cuddles. She goes out of her way to ensure that not only the pets but also their owners, feel comfortable and confident in her care. What makes Laia truly exceptional is the love she gives. She genuinely cares about the well-being of every animal she encounters, treating each one with the utmost respect and kindness. She is truly dedicated to making sure every pet she cares for is safe, happy, and loved. In short, Laia is the sweetest and most caring person I know, and any pet in her care is in the best hands possible.”
