Highlights
Pet care experience
Assembly Row | Premier Pet Care
Your pet deserves more than just a sitter — they deserve a safe, loving home where they feel like family. 🐾💛 Hi, I’m Fernanda! With over 14 years of hands-on experience, a 5-star rating, and 65+ wonderful reviews, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. As a proud member of the Assembly Row community in Somerville, my goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away, knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and genuinely loved. I believe exceptional pet care is about more than feeding, walks, and playtime. It’s about understanding each pet’s unique personality, respecting their routines, providing individual attention, and creating an environment where they feel secure and at home. From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I do my best to make their experience feel familiar, positive, and stress-free. Communication is just as important to me as quality care. I provide regular updates and photos, so you can stay connected and feel reassured while you’re apart. Whether you’re looking for overnight boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or dog walking, my commitment remains the same: thoughtful, reliable, and loving care, with your pet’s safety and happiness always a priority. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member! 💛🐾

Ratings and reviews
Fernanda was AMAZING with our little pug, Sadie! Sadie had the best time with Fernanda and her daughter playing dress up, having a movie night, and hanging out with her new pup friends! Fernanda was also highly communicative, providing us frequent updates on Sadie, which we really appreciated. Sadie came back home a happy girl and we would gladly have Fernanda watch Sadie again!
Fernanda was so great! She took wonderful care of Frank and Gus and gave nice updates and photos throughout the weekend.
Fernanda did a great job taking care of our puppy Benny! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos and was flexible with our drop off time when we were running a little late. I would highly recommend Fernanda 😊
Fernanda was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving Tuck (5 mnth mini-Aussie) overnight with a Rover sitter, so I was a little nervous. Fernanda put me at ease - she took time to have a thoughtful meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, and she was incredibly warm, accommodating, and communicative throughout his stay. She sent frequent updates and videos, so I could see that Tuck was happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. I especially loved that she worked on new tricks with him and kept him engaged, stimulated, and well exercised. It was clear that he received plenty of attention and affection and was treated like part of the family. Tuck clearly loved his time with Fernanda, and I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. I could not have asked for a better first overnight experience, and I would happily trust her with him again.
Fernanda has been taking care of our dog Jack for the last year every time we travel out of time. She is the best. Reliable, constantly updating us with photos and videos and takes wonderful care of our dog. Would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for a top tier dog sitter.
We always know our dog Wally is in great hands with Fernanda. We always get great picture and video updates every day. She’s our go-to when we need someone to watch him.

Schedule
Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, regular potty breaks, and cuddles. I offer flexible, dependable care while respecting each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether you’re traveling or managing a busy schedule, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. 💛🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.!! I provide a clean, welcoming, and pet-friendly environment where each guest receives personalized attention and care. When hosting multiple dogs, I carefully manage introductions, supervise interactions, and provide separate spaces when needed. I also respect each pet’s routine, provide regular photo updates, and treat every home with the same care and respect as my own.
A typical day
Every pet is unique, so I tailor each day to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel right at home. 🐾 Our days include walks, potty breaks, indoor playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and plenty of rest. We also have a dog park just steps from our home in Assembly Row for outdoor fun when appropriate. Whether your pup loves adventures or cozy naps, my goal is to make every day enjoyable, comfortable, and filled with love. And of course, you’ll receive sweet photo updates along the way! 💛

- I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding habits, medications, allergies, and any special needs. 🐾 It’s also important to know how they interact with other dogs and children, along with any fears, triggers, separation anxiety, or behaviors I should be aware of. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while receiving the personalized care they deserve. 💛
