Availability
I’m currently a full-time student at Arizona State University in Tempe, and the great news is that most of my classes are online! This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time to care for your furry companions. I’m generally available from 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays and weekends, but I’m always happy to discuss specific dates or times to accommodate your needs. I’ll do my best to make sure I’m available when you and your pets need me!

Safety, trust & environment
Since I live on campus, I can only care for your dogs at your home. I understand this may raise some concerns, but I have experience with house sitting, particularly while caring for my uncle's French Bulldog, Mookie. Before staying at his house, we discussed all the necessary safety measures I needed to be aware of, like ensuring his backyard gate’s latch was properly secured, as it sometimes wouldn’t close correctly. I also made sure the house was kept tidy and even took on extra tasks like watering his plants and feeding his koi fish. Of course, I made sure Mookie didn't disturb the fish! Each night, I ensured all doors, including the doggy door, were securely closed, and I placed fresh pee pads out to avoid any messes overnight. I’m also familiar with crating dogs, as I did this with my own dog and my aunt’s English Bulldog. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a calm, familiar environment for them. I follow the routine you’ve set for your pet, keeping their meals, walks, and potty breaks on schedule, while giving them the love and attention they’re used to. I also maintain the cleanliness of your home, tidying up any pet messes and ensuring food bowls, toys, and litter boxes are clean. For dogs, I customize walks based on their specific needs, whether it's a gentle stroll for an older dog or active playtime for a more energetic pup. I always ensure they stay hydrated and comfortable. If your pet has special needs, such as medication, allergies, or breathing issues, I’m experienced with that as well. In short, I treat every pet with the same love and care as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
Information Dhanica Marviel N. would like to know about your pet
I would love to talk more about what needs your dogs need and see if I'm a good fit for you and your companion! I want to make sure both our experiences are stress-free. I would like to do drop-ins especially for housesitting requests to ensure that your pet is familiar with me beforehand!
A typical day
When watching pets, I love tailoring activities to match their personalities and energy levels! For dogs that love to play, we’ll enjoy plenty of fun with their favorite toys—fetch, tug-of-war, or even hide-and-seek for mental stimulation. If they enjoy the outdoors, we’ll go on walks or spend time exploring the yard, making sure they get exercise and fresh air. For more laid-back pets, I focus on bonding through gentle belly rubs, cuddles, and relaxing downtime. Whatever they love doing, I make sure it’s safe and enjoyable, so they have a great time while you're away!

Caring for one dog at a time!
Pet care experience
For 14 wonderful years, I had the privilege of raising my fox terrier-chihuahua mix, Angie, who passed away this year due to old age. From the time I was 6, I handled everything for her—walking, feeding, and bathing her regularly. As Angie grew older, I adapted to her changing needs, switching from kibble to her favorite wet food and making our walks slower to accommodate her pace while letting her explore and sniff to her heart's content. This flexibility allowed my family to trust me with their own pets too. I recently house-sat my uncle's French Bulldog, Mookie, for two months. Mookie had specific needs due to his breed's breathing issues and allergies, so we didn't take walks, but I ensured he was fed properly, kept company, and even moisturized his dry nose with a cream to prevent discomfort. His tummy rubs and playtime with chew toys became our bonding time. I've also cared for my aunt’s dogs—a lovable trio of an English Bulldog, dachshund, and poodle mix, along with their ferret friend! I only did drop ins for them, but they all received plenty of love, attention, and kisses while I fed them and ensured that they were safe and sound! I’ve spent my life surrounded by dogs, and every pet I care for is treated with the same affection and attention I gave Angie. In her memory, I continue to shower love on every furry friend, ensuring they feel cared for, happy, and healthy.
Reviews

I’m extremely grateful and appreciative of Dhanica for taking such wonderful care of my kitty Mochi, super last minute. I truly valued the photos and detailed updates she provided after each visit, which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Dhanica to anyone looking for reliable care for their fur baby. She was kind, respectful, and professional throughout the entire experience. As someone who is very selective about who I allow into my home, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Mochi for the first time. Mochi was happy and well cared for, and that means everything to me.


Dhanica did great with my dogs! I have a dog that’s super shy and he warmed up to her right away. Shes very patient and even brought treats to our meet and greet. I’ll definitely continue booking with her!

I'm very happy having Dhanica walk Willow. She is completely reliable and professional. Her updates are great and I always look forward to the photos she sends! I noticed right away that Willow warmed up to her quickly, even though he usually is shy with new people. Dhanica clearly cares, as she follows all my specific instructions and often goes the extra mile. She gives me total peace of mind, and I definitely recommend her!


Love Dhanica, she’s very professional and takes great care of my pups
