Pet care experience

PaWsitively Ready PetSit W Negrete

I have been passionate about animal care since volunteering at the Animal Care League in 2012. During that year, I discovered my genuine love for animals, which has only grown since then. I have numerous years of experience dog and cat sitting, providing customized care that includes playtime, long walks, behavioral rewards, and all necessary health support such as administering vitamins, baths, medications, brushing, and blended foods. I prioritize ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for, and I am committed to keeping you updated with regular reports, so you have peace of mind when you're apart. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs or preferences your pet may have. With over 200 pets cared for since 2012, I maintain a dedicated and personalized approach. I do not host multiple pets from different owners in my home unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon. My goal is to provide a consistent, trustworthy, and loving environment. I am available with flexible scheduling, except during times I may be walking other dogs. I stay with your pet 24/7, and I am doing everything I can to move closer to achieving my dream of opening The Collared Inn Suites, a premier dog hotel. I also have cameras both inside and outside to facilitate frequent updates and ensure your pet’s safety. Caring for animals is my life and full-time passion. Your pet's well-being is my top priority—feeding, bathroom breaks, and attention come before anything else! I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry family member and hope to establish a lasting relationship.

Destiny is seriously the best. Always keeps me updated on the babies- even on my kitties at home who are hanging out! I work 12 hours at a time so having these updates makes my heart happy. She’s the best.

Destiny is the best!! She takes care of our cats as if they're her own and leaves us so much more relaxed on travel when we're away from them. Couldn't be happier to have such an incredible sitter!

Destiny was fabulous. She took a bunch of pics of the little guy, which was such a relief having to be at work. She eased my anxiety by keeping me updated throughout the visit

I am available to care for your fur baby for full days, partial hours, or check-ins—whichever best suits your needs. This is my full-time profession and passion. I recommend bringing along any items that your pet would need or feel comfortable with during their stay, or please inform me if care will be provided in your home so I can ensure everything aligns with your routine.

I have access to a beautiful dog park with multiple walking paths and a pond, which I enjoy myself as well as for the dogs I care for. Your pet will have plenty of opportunities to play and socialize, including the possibility of play dates with other friendly dogs.

To ensure a positive experience, please let me know if your pet has any allergies, specific routines for walks, interactions with other animals or people, medications they require, or any restrictions such as furniture access or areas they shouldn’t be petted. Also, if there are particular toys or activities that your pet enjoys, I’ll make sure they have a fun and engaging stay.
