Pet care experience
At the age of 3, my family brought home a tiny tan Chihuahua named Obi (first photo!)—he was my absolute best furry friend for the next 16 and a half years. Growing up with little Obi by my side, I gained invaluable experience caring for dogs, especially small breeds and seniors. Even though my own pup is sadly no longer with us, my love for dogs of all shapes & sizes remains strong. I fully understand the immense love that owners have for their dogs, as well as the anxiety that can arise from leaving them behind — I take my job as a caretaker seriously, and will do whatever it takes to ensure any worries are alleviated while you are away from your pet. I have been dog walking and boarding/sitting for years now—it is a lovely, rewarding job, but even more so a wonderful passion of mine to provide love & care for pets while their owners are away.
Reviews
Cosette jumped in last minute to help us out in a pinch and was wonderful! Kept us updated on our car and dog with pictures and info and also cleaned up/made sure the house was looking good when we returned - amazing and helpful! Five stars!
Cosette is the best!!! We were concerned about leaving our rescue dog, Felix, with someone as this was going to be our first time leaving him and he is very shy and doesn’t usually like/trust people. Cosette put our mind at ease with daily pics/updates/videos. She was so patient and sweet with Felix that by day 2 they had become best friends and he was constantly by her side. They clearly formed a bond which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. She also took great care of our home and our somewhat grouchy cat. We will definitely be using her again for our next trip. Highly recommended!!
Cosette is amazing! She is responsive, trustworthy, and great with our puppy.
Cosette is very sweet and she was taking very good care of Batman. Batman loves her, and we would definitely ask her to care for him again:) Batman says I woof you!♥️

I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible. It’s the little things that matter! I’ll make sure any established routines or schedules (feeding, walking, playtime, treats etc.) continue as normal while you’re away. Fill me in on the important stuff, and I will make sure it gets done.
Information Cosette V. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know your dog’s temperament, energy level, feeding/walking habits, and any unique quirks! I have a soft spot for smaller breeds & seniors due to my own former furry Chihuahua, but all are welcome!
A typical day
I’ll adapt my care to your unique dog — some need long, fast-paced walks and lots of playtime, while others are more about a lazy day of belly rubs and treats. Just let me know what your pup loves, and I’m more than happy to accommodate.

Availability
Outside of pet care, I have a hybrid role in the financial industry - I am home full time from Friday evening through Tuesday night every week. With advance notice (at least 3 weeks) I can extend my days at home to include Wednesday and Thursday as well.
