No dog (or cat) too big or small!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of pet sitting and shelter volunteer experience. I’ve also owned cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, birds, turtles, and fish and cared for various livestock species, so I’m open to virtually any species. I’ve owned and cared for a number of special needs rescue dogs. I find them the most rewarding and am happy to accommodate their needs.
Reviews
Adriana is so great. Very attentive and always thinking about my dogs. They love and I'm at ease knowing she is in there care.
Adriana was so wonderful with Nero. We followed her visits through updates and pictures and she was always prompt. But most important, Nero was so relaxed and unstressed when we returned from our trip. He can be an anxious dog but we could tell he was very well with Adriana. Thank you so much for taking care of him!
Our kitty was so happy when we arrived home! Very grateful for Adriana's care, communication, and wonderful photos.
Adriana is very responsive and timely. That goes a long way when traveling away from your fur baby.
About Adriana D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am only available for walks and drop in visits since I have my own dog. I treat every animal as an individual with their own personality and particular needs/preferences. I’m a fan of positive reinforcement training and believe that patience and empathy is the key to working with any animal.
Information Adriana D. would like to know about your pet
Any information is good information. If a dog is dog, cat, or food-aggressive, those are all good things to know! If your dog has any quirks or notable dislikes (or likes), please let me know so that I can make our interactions as positive as possible. I have no breed preferences and don't discriminate against breeds considered "aggressive".
A typical day
It depends on the animal and what you want. I’m happy to provide exercise, play, attention, or just company based on their behavior. With drop ins I try to make sure there’s some mental stimulation (games, tricks, puzzles, etc.) but for the older dogs or less cuddly cats, I’m happy to provide whatever level of interaction they’re interested in.
