Highlights
Pet care experience
Aspiring dog mom
I am a University of Notre Dame alumn working remotely from Burlington Vermont. I grew up with family dogs of all different personalities and energy levels, from high-energy Jack Russells to affectionate English Springer Spaniels and Boxers. Being around dogs my whole life has made me comfortable adapting to different routines, temperaments, and exercise needs. As I start thinking about adding a dog of my own, I’d love the opportunity to spend time caring for dogs in my community and give them the same attention, affection, and care I’d want for my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any specific instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself, and I do my best to keep things consistent so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
I am pleased to recommend Estefania Castillo for a position as a pet caregiver. I have known herfor many years, and she is one of my closest friends. Throughout our friendship, I have come to know her as an exceptionally caring, responsible, trustworthy, and dependable person. Estefania is naturally attentive and compassionate, and she takes her responsibilities very seriously. She is someone I can always rely on, whether it is for something planned in advance or an unexpected situation. She is patient, organized, and thoughtful, and I believe these qualities make her especially well suited for caring for pets and providing their owners with peace of mind. One of the qualities I value most about Estefania is the genuine care she shows toward others. She is warm and nurturing while also being responsible and respectful of instructions and routines. I would feel completely comfortable trusting her to care for a pet, knowing she would treat them with kindness, attention, and affection while making sure their individual needs are met. Beyond being a wonderful friend, Estefania is a person of strong character and integrity. I am confident that she would bring the same level of commitment, reliability, and care to her work as a pet caregiver. I highly recommend Estefania for this position and believe she would be a wonderful addition to any family or organization looking for someone they can genuinely trust with the care of their pets.
Frida absolutely loves spending time with Estefy. One of the things I appreciate most is that Estefy doesn’t just walk or play with her, she actually enjoys practicing commands and working on her training too. It keeps Frida engaged and mentally stimulated, and I can tell she benefits from the extra structure. I always know she’s getting plenty of attention and is in great hands.
Estefy has taken care of my dog several times, and I always feel completely at ease leaving him with her. She’s incredibly attentive, takes him on great walks, gives him lots of affection, and is very tuned in to his energy and needs. He’s always excited to see her, which says everything. I’d trust her with him anytime.
Estefy took great care of my lab and followed all of the instructions I gave her. I was constantly updated as to how he was doing. I could tell she was a dog person. I recommend her 100%.
Estefy was the best dog sitter I could have asked for. Her and her roommate impressed me. They were both very loving and affectionate toward my dog. I could really tell my dog was comfortable with her. I would really recommend her if you are looking for someone loving and passionate to take care of your dog.

Schedule
I currently work fully remote from my apartment in Burlington Vermont. I spend most of my free time outdoors, going for walk by the waterfront, biking, golfing, and hiking. I look to fit in client walks throughout the work day and after work.

- I’d want to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, energy level, and any quirks that help them feel comfortable. It’s also helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, leash behavior, how they interact with other dogs or people, and anything that may make them nervous or reactive. The more I know about what they’re used to, the better I can keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
