Pet care experience

Loving and welcoming pet-sitter

I share my home with one sweet pup, Sabina — a playful and friendly rat terrier who loves meeting new dogs. Having her has taught me how important it is to understand each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog is social and playful or prefers a calmer, more relaxed environment, I adjust my approach so they feel safe and at ease. I provide a structured yet flexible routine with regular walks throughout the day — morning, early afternoon, evening, and right before bed — along with plenty of attention, playtime, and downtime. I’m especially mindful about not leaving pets alone for long periods and keeping their schedule consistent. We’re also conveniently located near a dog park, so dogs who enjoy social time can get that extra stimulation, while others can stick to peaceful walks around the neighborhood. What really sets me apart is the level of care and communication — I treat every dog like my own and can provide daily updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple: a safe, comfortable, and happy experience that makes your dog excited to come back.

Leo (my dog) had such a wonderful time, and Antonio shared photos every day, which made me feel completely at ease. I’m so happy to have found the best sitter in the neighborhood. Definitely will book again!

Antonio took wonderful care of my dog, Lucy — even on short notice! He kept me updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, and his communication was always quick and friendly. Lucy had a great time, and I’d definitely book with him again or recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable to care for their pet.

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule with two/three days in the office, which allows me to be home and fully available the rest of the week. Even on office days, I make sure pets are never left alone for more than 8 hours without a walk, bathroom break, or check-in. On days I’m home, I build my schedule around the pets in my care—incorporating regular walks, feeding times, play, and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of maintaining consistency, so pets feel comfortable and cared for, whether it’s a weekday or weekend.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will have a safe, cozy space to relax and play alongside Sabina or enjoy quiet time if they prefer. We’ll take daily walks, and I’ll keep a close eye on their comfort and safety. A quick meet-and-greet before boarding helps everyone feel at ease.

Pets

A typical day

Mornings start with a refreshing walk around the park before breakfast. At midday, we’ll head to the dog park to stretch our legs and enjoy some playtime. In the evening, we’ll take another stroll before dinner, and then finish the day with a relaxing potty break before bed. A happy, consistent routine — repeated daily for a content and well-cared-for pup.
