Caring & Responsible dog lover ♥

Pet care experience

Born and raised in Chile, I now live in Valencia after moving from Seattle WA. I live with my husband Daniel and our fur baby, Nico––the sweetest and friendly Poodle/Terrier mix––they are the loves of my life. Although I’m homesick for my family and friends back home, I’m also really excited for my new life here and enjoy exploring this new landscape filled with so much beauty and adventure. I used to teach English in Chile, and now work evenings from home, so I am always available and am a full-time doggy mom. My husband is also a huge dog lover, so your pup will get nonstop tender loving care. My husband and I are both reliable, caring, and easygoing. I think growing up with pets teaches you to be a nurturing and responsible individual, and I am comfortable with any and all breeds, ages, and sizes. When I was younger, I used to volunteer at a shelter in Chile and am interested in the welfare of animals. Although there may be some cultural differences since I am a somewhat recent transplant to the United States, being a lover of dogs and animals, in general, is a universal language. Being a doggy mom to a beloved pup, we are in the same boat. When Daniel and I travel, we need to find a suitable caretaker for our Nico, and so I know the anxiety and the stress of not knowing if he will be loved and taken care of properly. I want to be able to provide peace of mind and a safe haven for your pup, while providing a fun playmate for our furry son. I have three passions in my life. I love dogs, being outdoors, and reading. Reading feels like traveling to me––I can escape to faraway lands or embark on thrilling adventures from the comfort of my home. Nico and I enjoy our routines, and I’m sure your pup will fit in seamlessly. Every morning we’ll go out for a long walk or jog––or a fun hike. I usually take Nico out three to four times a day––we both love the fresh air here. During the day, your pup and Nico will accompany me while I do my chores. Sometimes I like to curl up with a good book and take a power nap. By the time I have to be at my desk in the evening for work, Daniel will be home to keep the pups company––my favorite part of the day!

From the day we met her and the hubby on our meet and greet, we felt so comfortable. And the minute we dropped Bailey to their place, she already sent pictures that made us more and more secured and confident. You can tell her dedication and the attitude towards her dogs & our dog, is so wonderful!!! Highly recommended!!! The best sitter!!! God bless u and ur family:)

Connie was great for drop-ins to see Nala. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and the daily updates with pictures were perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with Nala again!

Information Connie H. would like to know about your pet

Being a doggy mom who’s used Rover’s services in the past, I have empathy toward other dog parents looking for a safe, secure, and pleasant household to leave their beloved pets. If you’d like to arrange a meet and greet, Nico and I would be more than happy to set up a meeting. I’d want the full rundown on your pup’s diet, walking preferences, medications, likes/dislikes, triggers, etc. I will adapt the level of service depending on your dog’s needs. I want to provide a haven for your pup. I know when Daniel and I are away from our Nico, we are hungry for regular updates, so I’ll do the same for you. I’m never without my phone, so I’m happy to send photos, texts, and videos every couple of hours if that’s your preferred mode. Whatever we can do to ease your time away from your pup, we’ll be happy to accommodate!

A typical day

We live in an apartment with a medium to large size patio but don't let Nico out there because we live on the 3rd floor and primarily use it for BBQs. That said, we live in the Valencia neighborhood of the greater Santa Clarita Valley. The best amenity of our community is the fact that we are walking distance to the South Fork Trail and also are home to our own on-site Dog Park! It’s a wonderful community dog park and we even know all of Nico’s best friends! Both the park and trail are great places to get in our play and long walks in during the day. Beyond going to the Dog Park and South Fork Trail, we’ll go on lots of walks to nearby parks. I love getting outdoors and being close to nature, but I also believe in maintaining balance. As much as we will be active, we will also have plenty of relaxation time at home, cuddling up on the couch to watch TV or snoozing while I finish a novel or work on a project. Given my super flexible schedule, your pup will never ever be alone!
