Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are my happy place!
I had a Toy Poodle growing up and I used to dogsit for a Cocker Spaniel. I lived with my sister for 6 months when I moved here about 3 years ago and was helping to take care of her Mini Aussiedoodle and Maltipoo: playing with, feeding, and walking them, (bathing) and giving them lots of love. I pay attention to their needs: Since the Maltipoo is afraid of her food bowl I got her a slanted one so that her tags don't knock against it and she can reach the food better. I’m also the only person she will let clean her face! The Aussie is a COVID dog so he's not great around crowds, but he loves to be outside. If we're out and he's anxious, he jumps into my lap for comfort. Every dog is the same yet so different and I enjoy getting to know them!

Ratings and reviews
Dina is the best! She took great care of Nova and I can tell that nova felt very comfortable and relaxed during her stay. She sent frequent photo/video updates and even had an assortment of games for nova to play. Will be booking with Dina again in the future
Dina is amazing! She's super kind and clearly loves what she does. Me and my dog are attached at the hip, so he is always very stressed and nervous when I have to leave him. Dina made sure he was comfortable and felt safe, and he quickly felt at home with her. She sent regular updates with pictures. She also played enrichment games with him. I will definitely use Dinas services again!
Dina was great and I will definitely be booking her again! Very laid back but also attentive and my dog really looked comfortable with her in the photos she sent. Can’t ask for a better sitter!
Dina came to the rescue in a last minute boarding need! She was so great with our pup, sent photos, and even washed all of his stuff so it would be clean.
Dina was very communicative and loving. My dog seemed to be very comfortable in her space. Will definitely book with Dina again!
Dina was a great sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, she communicated so well, and she was flexible when my travel plan was altered. I would definitely use her again.

Schedule
I work from home, so I’m happy to have pup company. Throughout the day I use O4W Park and the maybe the beltline for walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The length of our walks will depend on weather and what the pup is up for. If the dogs are "talking" to me, I engage (if I'm not already!) and determine what they need. If they are afraid of the rain, I might put them in a thundervest, hold them, and breathe slowly to calm them down. I'm also a big fan of calming classical music for pets - it works really well. I live on the 4th floor so there would be some stairs or elevator involved. I have a balcony and safety screen around it. I would take care of your dogs as if they were my own!
A typical day
Depending on the dog needs, I can snuggle them, play games that will challenge them mentally, take them on walks, play or hang out at a dog park.
