Safety, trust & environment

Working in the animal world my whole life, I aim to create a safe and enriching environment for any animal I take care of. I will make sure their routines stay as consistent as possible to allow them to feel most normal, and will add in extra enriching activities to make the experience as positive and rewarding as possible.

Information Calle U. would like to know about your pet

Temperament is really important to know - what they like, what they don't like. If they have a specific routine I should keep in mind or something that would make them happiest or most comfortable, I'd want to know that too!

A typical day

It definitely depends on the dogs' favorite activities! I like to make fun lick mats and tie knots for them and keep them busy that way if I'm not around. I'm down to walk just about anywhere, so I'm comfortable letting the pup tell me their route!

Animal lover looking to help out :)

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, fish, even as a care taker for great apes! I love animals whole-heartedly and focus my career around them. I've raised and trained puppies in the past and am now looking to get my animal fix by helping more pets in my spare time!

Calle was super communicative, and the house was left clean. We will definitely ask her to stay with our boys again in the future.

Calle did a great job house sitting my two cats! Both have medical needs and she was very thorough in ensuring she felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for house sitting or drop ins - very reliable and respectful!
