Pet care experience
Reliable & Loving Pet Care
I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m especially patient and attentive, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for high energy dogs who need lots of playtime as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra attention. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, feeding routines, administering medications if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well being are always my top priorities.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in their own home. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and exercise needs exactly as outlined. I always double check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure pets are secure at all times. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and organized, and I provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress free experience for both pets and their families.
Ratings and reviews
I adopted my large breed dog from the shelter, after he had lost his home of 7 years due to no fault of his. I had been told he howled all the first night in the shelter. When it was time for us to go out of town, I did a test board at a small boarder, thinking it would be less traumatic than a regular kennel, but he had a full-scale panic attack. The boarder suggested a home sitter. The first person we interviewed for a home sitter didn't work out, not a good match. What interested me in Caja was her experience in behavioral techniques, which I had found worked really well with our dog in helping him be calm and relaxed. After meeting Caja, our dog loved her. He behaved as if she were our daughter, who is away at college. Calm, in charge, playful, everything he loves. Caja took excellent care of our dog and cat, and we were so happy our dog was relaxed in his own home. I also found Caja receptive to hearing what behavioral techniques we used, and in reviewing the Halti collar we use with our dog. I will call Caja first whenever we next need a house sitter. We totally trust her with our house and pets. It was very easy to keep in touch with texting for status checks.
I cannot recommend my niece enough! She has been watching my animals and house sitting for me for years, and she is truly the only person I completely trust with both my pets and my home. That says everything. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving with animals. My pets absolutely adore her, and I always have total peace of mind knowing they’re not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. She pays attention to their routines, makes sure they’re comfortable, and treats them like her own. On top of that, she takes amazing care of my home. I always come back to everything exactly as I left it — sometimes even cleaner! She communicates clearly, sends updates, and makes the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and truly compassionate with animals, she is it. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. 🐶🐱💛

Schedule
I am currently in college so I maintain a consistent weekly routine, which allows me to schedule reliable drop-ins and walks. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I make sure to plan my commitments carefully so every pet receives dedicated, unrushed care.
