Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted & Trusty Dog Friend
I deeply value earning and honoring your dog’s trust. I always want to let them feel warmed up and comfortable with me at their own pace, especially around more reactive dogs. And I take pride in giving the bestest pets! I grew up with my beloved dog, Romeo, for 14 years and was his primary carer for weeks at a time during the last couple years of his senior life. I hope to carry the same love, care, and recognition of their individual character through others too. Last year, I started housesitting and caring for other dogs (outside of family) for friends and clients through word-of-mouth. It’s been very exciting and fulfilling getting to meet and care for a bunch of different dogs. I also currently live with my partner’s dog (she’s a little chihuahua named Nala), so I’m rarely not around one. One of my goals during a stay is to maximize their outside time (however much that means to them). I love long walks and short runs just as much as being a homebody and cherish that we get to enjoy that time together!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I respect the trust you have in me staying in your home. I know that it’s a lot to share something so personal and I don’t take it for granted. I can accommodate to any house rules or take care of simple house tasks while you are away. I always want to leave your home clean and ready for your return.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for watching Pace again! Belinda is so patient with our complicated old dog. She gave us great peace of mind while traveling and we will definitely use her again. Our dog is still looking around the house for her…and may miss her more than she did us!
Belinda was such an incredible dog sitter for our pup! Not only did Belinda come through last minute for a 2 week house stay when our pup got ill right before our big trip, but she also took great care of our house. Belinda knew we were anxious leaving our pup for such a long period of time and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. She was a great communicator and would answer immediately whenever she could. She also took our high-energy dog for long walks and followed all of our dog and house care instructions to a T. We couldn't recommend Belinda highly enough, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future!
Belinda was amazing! She is so sweet and sent tons of photos and updates throughout the stay. Ignacio loved her (rare for him to bond so quickly with new people) which shows her level of care and thoughtfulness! We would absolutely have her watch iggy again.
Exceptional! I'd give Belinda 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if I could; she was everything I was looking for in an overnight sitter while I was on a work trip. She was so so good with my skittish adult rescue pup, sending tons of cute photos/videos and taking her on multiple long walks! She was an excellent communicator who provided lots of useful detail so I knew exactly what was going on at all times. Plus she was completely respectful of the entire home. Booking was smooth as she made the process quick and easy with a meet-and-greet. I'd definitely seek out her help again in the future!
Belinda took excellent care of our dog and home for over a week. We would wholeheartedly recommend her! We were new to Rover and nervous about leaving our very elderly dog. Belinda helped us to feel so at ease. She was attentive, kind, and patient with our dog who was experiencing many age-related changes, including loss of vision. She took the time to get to know her, gently encouraged her on many more walks than we have been able to, and handled all of her quirks, including anxiety and occasional accidents with grace. Belinda was also a reliable communicator, sent great updates and pictures, and left the house in excellent shape! We feel so, so grateful to have found her.
Highly recommend Belinda to care for your furry friends! Our dog has a lot of stranger danger anxiety and needs extra time to warm up to new people. Belinda was very willing and patient with the extra visits we scheduled ahead of our trip to get them introduced, and was able to win our dog's trust very quickly. Jelly is now all wags and requests for kisses and pets when she sees Belinda. During our actual trip she took excellent care of both our dog and our home; we would gladly book with her again and can heartily recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Schedule
I work from home so I will happily step away for walks, play, and pets throughout the day. I typically will be around at home during the morning-afternoon then will take care of personal errands outside of home during the evening.
