Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & active dog mom
I have been around dogs most of my life. I have a 9 year old Vizsla and have fostered for a Vizsla rescue and watched dogs for deployed military for the past few years. I have also watched several dogs for neighbors and friends over the years and really enjoy it. I love dogs and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and city. I work from home, so I am able to give dogs a lot of attention and activity. I especially welcome active dogs like mine that enjoy walks, park playtime, dog beach, hikes and more. When I have looked for sitters for my dog over the years, I have looked for people who have experience with the breed and are ready for the velcroness, silliness and shenanigans that come from a pointer. While I am happy to host any friendly, well-behaved dogs, I also want the Vizsla, GSP, Weimy community to know…I get you and I’m ready 😬

Belinda has cared for my fur baby for the last 3 years when I have to travel. I highly recommend her because she treats your fur baby just like one of her own. My baby loves staying with her and is always happy!

Schedule
Schedule similar to my dog’s. Usually outside every 4 hours or so for walks/playtime. Plenty of outside play time. I also have a doggy door to the back patio if your dog likes to bask in the sun like mine during the day
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m at home and don’t leave the dogs for long on their own. I interact with the dogs throughout the day and esp at our community park where they can play and run with other well-behaved dogs in the neighborhood. Dogs that stay with me have roaming privileges throughout the house. I have dogs beds throughout, but they are also welcome on the beds, sofa, etc.
Pets
A typical day
Typical day-walk in the morning, walk around noon, dog park time (running/walking/fetch) in the evening for an hour or more and a short walk before bed. Try to get to dog beach/hike 1-2 times a week.

- Before booking, I require a meet & greet to make sure your dog is comfortable with me and my dog Cooper. Cooper is easy-going and used to having other dogs in the house. Let me know how your dog does in different situations…reactive to anything, dislikes anything, etc. I want to make sure your pup is safe and happy during the stay. If your dog does not get along with other dogs/people and/or shows aggressive and potentially harming behaviors, I am not the sitter you are looking for. Also, let me know if you are currently training your dog in any way and I can help enforce the behavior/practice commands while he/she is here.
