Availability

Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. Valentina works from home with a flexible schedule, which allows for constant attention, while Christian is actively involved before and after work and throughout the week. Walks, playtime, feeding, training reinforcement, and check-ins are part of our everyday flow, not something we squeeze in. We plan our days around the pets in our care to make sure they get plenty of exercise, structure, and affection.

Information Christian & Valentina R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything that I need to know before I get to know your dog, but I will be able to manage any situation.

A typical day

We love keeping pets active and happy. Fun activities include daily walks, outdoor playtime, games like fetch and tug, and plenty of enrichment through toys and mental stimulation. We also reinforce basic obedience in a positive way and make time for calm cuddles and relaxation. Every activity is tailored to each pet’s energy level, age, and personality so they stay engaged, exercised, and content.

Two dog lovers, making tails wag!

Pet care experience

We’re Christian and Valentina, a dedicated duo who adore dogs! Christian has been around dogs since he was 2, and together we cared for our beloved 120-pound companion, Kongo, who sadly is no longer with us. Valentina grew up on a farm in Colombia, surrounded by animals, and has extensive experience with training and basic obedience for all dogs, big or small. With Valentina’s flexible work-from-home schedule, your pet will get full attention, care, and exercise. We’ll care for them like family and follow any special instructions you provide!

Christian was great and very attentive with my instructions for my sweet boy. He accepted my request last minute which was very helpful in a time of need.
