Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & Responsible Animal Lover
I’ve cared for dogs and cats for several years and truly treat animals like family. I’ve owned multiple dogs at once for about 4 years and cared for two cats for 3 years, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need to feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with potty training, maintaining routines, and recognizing pet body language, especially with reactive or nervous dogs around people, animals, or bikes. I always prioritize safety on walks and in new environments. I’m comfortable handling vet visits calmly and responsibly, and I understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s pet. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Ratings and reviews
Esmeralda was amazing! She was patient and caring with Donut, and he clearly felt comfortable with her. He came back home happy and relaxed. She kept me updated throughout his stay, and sent pictures that gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend her!
Esme is so good with our fur babies! She has watched Jackson and Kona in the past when we have had to go out of town. It is so nice to see how excited she is when she shows up to watch our pups. You can really see how much she loves animals, she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. We don’t worry when Esme watches our dogs, we know they are well taken care of!
My dog told me that if she could leave more than 5 stars she would. Thanks for being the goat Esme. Marley loves going on walks with you.
Esme is a great pet parent and caregiver! My little cat loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. She is so trustworthy that she even babysits my children!

Schedule
work a hybrid schedule (2 days working from home, 3 days in office), which gives me flexibility for pet care. On my work-from-home days, I’m available for mid-day walks in addition to morning and evening care. On office days, I can provide early morning walks, evening walks, and overnight care. I also have availability on weekends depending on my schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a small private patio. There are several safe walking options nearby, including a park directly across the street for daily walks and outdoor time. A local dog park is also just a few blocks away and can be accessed by car if permitted by the owner. I do not have any pets or children in the home, which allows me to provide a calm and focused environment for your dog. I prioritize safety, consistent supervision, and following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed.
