Pet care experience

Dog or cat sitter

I am willing and able to take care of any pet. I have 2 dogs at home and previous experience with pets. Ranging from small and big dogs to birds and small animals. My special skill is that I have patience to train a dog or puppy. My personality sets me aside other sitters and my passion for animals also my responsibility. It is not a joke to take care of you family member it is high honor to see after your pet family member. I love animals of all sorts and they also tend to love me at first sight. I used to be a foster mom for Tracy area animal rescue in Minnesota. So I have experienced in all pets! I know how to introduce them slowly to my pets that way it’s not to overwhelming when they first come to my home! I know how to give shots or medication to special need pets! I did invested in dog steps for the elderly dogs to help to get on the couch or bed! I also do hip massage for the elderly dogs ! I will tend to them and give them lots of love!! Trust me when I say this, your pet will be in good hands!

Lovely family for my dog to stay with! He was well cared for, and played with often! They were willing to take him in on a holiday while I was working a 48hr shift. I would hire them again!

Itzel did a great job watching our dog while we were on vacation! She took wonderful care of him and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated while we were away. It was so nice knowing he was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Itzel and would be happy to have her watch him again!

5 stars! Itzel was absolutely amazing with my dog Minino! She showed incredible patience and love as he adjusted to her care, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and happy. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine affection for animals shine through in her work. I couldn't recommend her more highly! Gracias

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fence yard but a couple blocks away from my home , is a dog park!! I have two dogs! A German shepherd, Faith, and my St. Bernard , Boss! My dog faith and boss can be very energetic when meeting people, so when you come to my home for the first time, I ask not come inside, that way it’s not to much for your pups, with my dog energy! But when you come get them you are more than welcome to step inside. I recommend to bring a blanket or something that will help your pup be calm and not feel abandon. It always seems to help them calm their nerves with a little scent that reminds them of home! I do let them sleep with us on the bed and to get on the couch!! I also tend to take a lot of pictures while I watch your pups! I always put myself in your shoes , and I would love to have many pictures of my babies! So I tend to do just that!! I take this very serious and I’ll treat your babies as my own! I’ll spoiled them, love them, cuddle them, and make their stay as comfortable and fun as they like!!

Pets

A typical day

Go to park and enjoy the nature. Play fetch, cuddle, and many more. They also get treats! I also tend to train, since I am a trainer!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Itzel can host up to 2 pets per night
I ask for a basic background on pets such as: what their favorite activities are, what they tend to avoid, any potential triggers, friendliness towards other dogs and cats (since I have 2 dogs and 2 cats) any medical concerns I should be aware of, and general activity level. Are they protective of their food? This will help me for when it’s feeding time!
