I have a friendly dog that gets along well with dogs and cats alike. She is old and mellow and mostly lays around but loves playful puppies. When we see them on our walks, she lays down so they can approach her without being intimidated by her size.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner all my life and trained two of my dogs with non-verbal commands since I have a deaf family member. My skill set as a a teacher of children translates easily to pets—I can balance play and structure well and am attentive to any behavioral changes or suggestions that a pet might need a little extra love. I have experience with blind and deaf animals as well as three-legged ones.

Estefania is the best! She is so in tune with my dog, her needs, and tires her out in the best way. This is the third walk she’s done, and it always goes super smoothly and she keeps me up to date on everything.

Estefanía is wonderful, she took great care of Millie who is under the weather. She was very sweet and caring and I would definitely book her again in the future. Thank you ❤️

This was our second time with Estefania. No surprises—she (and Pana!) took wonderful care of Charlie. I'd like to mention that Charlie is 18lbs and significantly smaller than Pana, but Pana couldn't have been a sweeter companion. Thank you!
