Pet care experience

Trusted Assembly Dog & Cat Sitter

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 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.

Fernanda took amazing care of our little Cresta for about 5 days while we were at a wedding in Mexico, and we couldn't have asked for better! She sent us so many photos and videos throughout the stay, which honestly made being away so much easier. We got to see our cute girl having a great time every day. On top of that, Fernanda was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She helped us out in more ways than one, including being so accommodating about us being a little late picking Cresta up since our flight was late! Total lifesaver. The sweetest touch: Fernanda's daughter drew a picture of Cresta, and it's now proudly hanging on our fridge. 🐾 Thank you, Fernanda, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We can't wait to book with you again!

Schedule

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. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly building in Assembly Row with plenty of walking paths, green spaces, and easy access to dog-friendly areas for daily exercise and enrichment. I only accept pets that are a good fit for my home environment, allowing me to provide personalized attention and maintain a calm, safe, and comfortable experience for everyone. You can relax knowing your pet will be treated like family while in my care. 💛

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home. A typical day includes walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, rest, lots of affection, and of course plenty of photo updates for pet parents. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, naps on the couch, or simply being close to people, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved throughout their stay.
