Pet care experience

I think your dog can talk too

I believe you when you say your dog can talk, and I’ll listen when you can’t! I understand that each dog has their own need and quirks. I will take the extra time to ensure your puppy gets treated the way they like to be treated. I’ve grown up with a special love for animals. I dream of owning a rescue center for forgotten animals of all kinds. I’m incredibly attentive and will care for your puppy just as I would want someone to care for my dog, with patience, love, and joy. I'm an athlete, meaning I can handle big/solid dogs and help ensure they get all their energy out. I’m also always taking pictures, so you're sure not to miss anything!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently only have one pet living in my home my perfect Yorkie Oliver.I treat Oliver as if he was a sibling we wake up together, eat breakfast, and go on a walk where he leads the way. I have a very strong belief in letting my dog lead walks to see what areas he wants to explore. Oliver is an older dog but he’s energetic personality comes out as long as he’s had a proper nap before hand.

Dog Walking • Sep 14, 2024

Alfonsina was fantastic with Brooklyn and Zero, my two Havanese pups. She was on time, courteous and professional. I highly recommend her for your dog walking or pet sitting needs.

House Sitting • Sep 03, 2024

Alfonsina was such a great cat-sitter! I hired her to sleep over at my apartment for 2 nights. She met with me ahead of time, was attentive and asked all the right questions, and seemed generally excited to stay with my cats. Right from the start Alfo let me know she was in my apartment and sent me photos. She always made sure to keep me informed and gushed over my pets. She was very communicative and I was never worried or concerned- she kept my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Alfo has a lovely personality and is kind, quiet, and has a easy-going type of personality. She was a pleasure to have over and I'm sure if my cats could talk they'd speak highly of her. When I arrived home from my trip, my apartment was spotless, exactly as I left it- and she went so far as to change the sheets out as well, which went above and beyond what I'd expect. I'll definitely be hiring her again.

Alfonsina was great with my special needs kitty. Super attentive and always accessible through text. Went above and beyond with house care and gave lots of love to my baby while I was gone.

Alfonsina was wonderful. She looked after our two dogs and sent us regular up dates and photographs. I would definitely use her services again and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Before I sit for a your furry friend, there are a few things I appreciate being told about if you have the time to ensure the best care possible. - any health issues - allergies - medications It’s also important to understand their daily routine - feeding times - exercise needs - bathroom habits Additionally, I like to know about their temperament and any behavioral quirks, especially how they interact with other animals and people. Finally, knowing their favorite commands, toys, and comfort items helps me keep them happy and stress-free while you're away.
