Pet care experience

Flexible, Loving, Trustworthy!

My past experiences include taking care of family members' dogs since I was a kid and Rover for a few years. I've also taken care of my friends' pets! I am organized and keep track of when and what to feed them. I'll bathe them if needed/requested. I love taking them out on walks and am attentive, making sure they’re healthy and happy. I just really enjoy spending time with animals! They're the best.

House Sitting • May 31, 2026

Antonia was fantastic and thoughtful sitter! She also saved us last minute when a previous sitter canceled before we left town

Antonia was so great with my dog Gibson! She gave him lots of exercise and love! It was very reassuring to know he was well taken care of while I was gone. Will definitely book again!

Antonia has been great walking our dog during the workday! She sends photos, takes what look like great walking routes, and is responsive/timely

Antonia is very communicative and best of all I could tell my dog was immediately at ease with her.

Great communication! Antonia took fantastic care of my girl over several days while I was out of town. She asked thoughtful questions ahead of time and took interest in understanding my dog’s routine. I would absolutely trust Antonia again.

Schedule

I’m a student with a schedule that varies day to day from quite free to quite busy. Even on busy days, I love to walk to destress, so I'd take your cute pup with me! I'm flexible in that if you have a dog that prefers spending time at your home, for example, then I can adjust. I'm here to give them the best experience!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a full time student with a varying schedule and will spend much of my time studying from home where I can also tend to your pet’s needs. I value cleanliness and organization, so I would keep things clean and orderly in your home. If staying overnight, your pet will stay with me in my room either on the bed or on their own bed, whichever is preferred! I can adjust to your method of caring for your pets, just let me know!

A typical day

The great thing about caring for pets is they motivate you to get outside! I love spending time at the park as it is, so going with your pet will be even better! I can go to different parks as well since I have a car. I can provide toys and play ball or whichever kind of games your pet likes to do. Let me know!

If they’re potty trained, if they’re aggressive, if they bark a lot, if they tend to break or chew up things, what they like to do/play, what their normal every day care looks like. Just so I know how to best prepare, I want them to feel right at home!
