Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Whether you’re planning a vacation, need help during a busy work week, or have a last-minute trip come up, I’m happy to help whenever possible. Your pet will never feel alone and will always receive the love and care they deserve. 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Fernanda! ☺️💛 As a proud member of the Assembly Row community, I love helping local pet parents feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Pet care has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🥰 Whether you need daycare, overnight boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, my goal is simple: to provide a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member.

Fernanda was awesome!! She accommodated our last minute booking and took great care of our dog Tamsin. Even though Tamsin can be pretty anxious, from the videos and pictures Fernanda regularly sent us it was clear that Tamsin was comfortable under Fernanda’s care. Would definitely recommend.

Fernanda took perfect care of my Gracie (dog). Gracie had the best time, stuck to her normal routine, and was incredibly loved and cared for. Fernanda had her overnight for 4 nights/5 days and right away I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Before the stay, she was eager and open to wanting all information about Gracie, in efforts to make Gracie’s transition and stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. During the stay, she was excellent with communication, and providing picture and video updates during walks, play time, feeding, cuddles, etc. She even took the time to teach and master the command “paw” with Gracie!!! I would hands down recommend Fernanda to anyone needing someone to watch their fur baby, super easy choice!!!! 100/10
