Everyday is a new adventure I try to show them something new everyday that way I stimulate their hunting instincts. I try to take them outside and get some fresh air every now and then. I have a cat stroller so I’m able to take them out for walks on the beach, neighborhood or if I can withstand the backpack I take them on hikes at least once a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to give lots of love to my kittens any chance I get. They have a lot of energy so to keep them stimulated any chance I get I give them cuddles, back rubs and sometimes even take them out on hikes with me (they either walk or I take them on the cat backpack). Their favorite things to do are play with fuzzy worm sticks so I always have some in stock. I recently discovered they love bubbles right now they have a pumpkin flavored version.

Information Esmeralda S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know their needs and accommodations I must take into account. My sisters dog had high anxiety so I would make sure to take him out for walks when the neighborhood was quiet and empty.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and will try my best to physically and mentally stimulate them during our walks. I love reinforcing any training through treats or gain their trust through treats. With dogs my go to is fetch or tug of war. With cats i go with laser or feather wand.

I have a lot of love to share!!

Pet care experience

I’ve always been around animals but ever since I started moving a lot we stopped having furry friends. However 7 years ago one of my sisters gained a family member Rocky (German Shepard) after living with her for a few years and frequent visits I naturally started taking care of him! It was seems like yesterday that I got two kittens and scrambled to learn the ins and outs of taking care of them. It’s been almost 4 years :’) and thankfully I was able to grasp my way and teach others along the way. They are the world to me and brighten up each and every day :). I have experience taking care of new born - senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable giving medication (pills, liquids and topical) orally and in food.

Esmeralda did a wonderful job taking care of our "babies" and our home. I will use her services whenever we need to go out of town.

Esmeralda’s lunchtime visits to my very anxious pug, Shadow, have meant everything to us! She was on time for every visit, her communication was excellent, and she followed our instructions and guidance precisely. Definitley recommend Esmeralda for your dog care needs!
