[ ] I am a part-time artist, I do my work from home so I have plenty of time to do other activities, I like to be accompanied by furry friends and go out several times a day, I connect a lot with nature, to recharge myself with inspiration and doing it in the company of a furry friend generates energy for me: The day usually begins with a walk in the park, where dogs can release energy, socialize with other animals and enjoy a good time of exercise. I make sure that each dog will receive the right amount of activity, adapted to its age, size and needs. During this activity, I also make sure that they feel comfortable and happy. [ ] I can host them at home, I have a large space, so that they can be without feeling uncomfortable

Your dog will stay in a clean, spacious, and peaceful home located on a quiet street surrounded by nature. There is a large outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time in a safe and calm environment. I currently do not have any pets, which allows me to provide a stable and fully dedicated environment. Dogs are free to relax wherever they feel most comfortable — whether near me, exploring the home, or resting in a cozy space.

A typical day

In these cold times we need a lot of energy and beautiful places to visit. Near my house, 5 minutes away, I have a large park to run, with pools and trails, which I love to go to in the mornings, and a dog park where they can share with others if they like, play a little, throwing a ball or stick and being in contact with nature. At home, there is no shortage of affection and pampering, I love sharing with them

Exclusive & Personalized Pet Care

Pet care experience

🐾 Calm, Personalized & Loving Dog Care I provide calm, attentive, and personalized dog care in a safe and peaceful home environment tailored to your dog’s unique personality, needs, and daily routine. Every dog is different — their energy, comfort level, habits, and personality all matter. My goal is to understand each dog individually so they feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home while in my care. Before any booking, I offer a meet-and-greet to learn about your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, medication needs (if any), behavior, and comfort preferences. This helps ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both of us. I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time so each one receives full attention, patience, and affection.
