Highlights
Pet care experience
Honestly, I should be paying you.
Really- caring for animals brings me so much joy that it feels like I should be paying people for trusting me with their little ones. My specialty is personality shape shifting: adjusting my energy, pace, and approach to match each pet’s mood, needs, and boundaries. 15+ years into caring for pets, my experience includes: *Dogs of all sizes (from teacup Chihuahuas to Great Danes and St. Bernards that weigh as much as me) *Dogs of all ages, from puppies in their “everything is edible” era to seniors (including Lola, a 14 yr old blind sweetie who needed daily meds and extra vigilance so she didn’t constantly walk into walls) *Familiar with every energy level (I’m personally high energy, but fully fluent in calm dog etiquette and respecting personal bubbles) *As someone who would go mad without my planner and organization systems, I’m highly attentive to routines, schedules, feeding instructions, and special care notes *Reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home (I leave it how I found it, just with a happier dog inside) *Big on safety, long walks, mental enrichment, and positive reinforcement (praise is free and plentiful, but used strategically) Plus I’ve been practicing my dog comedy, so your pup gets quality care AND a free stand-up set (hound heckling permitted)

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dalvida was awesome! Jackson loved her and had so much fun with her and Marlow! Kept me updated throughout the entire booking and sent lots of good pictures! Jackie was just all smiles when he was with her. <3. 20/10 would recommend.
Love her! Super helpful and stayed on our schedule. Extremely flexible when it comes to pick up and drop off times.
Dalvida gave my puppy the upmost attention and priority. Constantly keeping me updated and making sure of any routines/diets she may have is being followed. Went above and beyond in my opinion! Highly recommend to anyone who needs someone to treat their fur child just as good as they would!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m a full time grad student taking online classes, meaning my schedule is very open/flexible, allowing me to prioritize walks, visits, and consistent care throughout the day.

A typical day
I live a 5 minute walk from an open dog field and 5 minute drive from a fenced local dog park that I love to visit! I also have a spacious apartment and turf field in my gated complex, both of which are perfect for running and playing.
