Disponibilité
I currently work as a medical assistant Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but pet care is something I truly enjoy outside of work. I love spending my free time walking dogs, checking in on pets, and helping owners feel at ease when they can’t be home. I’m available most evenings during the week for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can often adjust my schedule to fit your preferred times. If needed, I can also be available Friday afternoons for early weekend bookings. My goal is to provide dependable care and keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well-loved — even when your work or travel schedule gets busy.

Sécurité, confiance et environnement
When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. I follow their normal routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure all care instructions are followed exactly. I treat every home with respect — checking that doors are locked, water bowls are full, and everything is tidy before I leave. Safety and trust are always my top priorities, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pets are well cared for.
Informations que Ixchel G. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
Before I care for your pets, I love getting to know all the little details that make them unique! The more I understand their routine and personality, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. It’s super helpful to know things like: Their daily routine: feeding schedule, walk times, and bedtime habits Personality and temperament: are they shy, energetic, a cuddle bug, or a little independent? Health information: medications, allergies, or any special needs Training and commands: words or cues they respond to, and any house rules to keep consistent Social habits: how they react around other pets or new people Emergency details: your vet’s info and any backup emergency contacts Every pet has their own rhythm and preferences, and I do my best to keep that consistent so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. A little information ahead of time helps me give them the same love and care they get from you! 💕
Une journée type
A typical day caring for pets begins with a burst of energy and attention to routine. For dogs, we’ll start with a refreshing walk tailored to their needs — whether it’s a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood or a brisk, active outing to burn off energy. After our walk, I make sure your pup has fresh water, a healthy meal if scheduled, and some playtime or gentle petting to keep them happy and relaxed. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-in visits around each pet’s personality and routine. For cats, that might include feeding time, litter maintenance, play with toys, or quiet companionship for the more reserved ones. For dogs, I mix walks, enrichment activities, and rest periods, ensuring they feel both stimulated and secure. In the evenings, I focus on winding things down—providing care, cuddles, and stability so your pet feels safe and comfortable before bedtime. I always communicate with pet parents through Rover messages, sharing updates and photos to keep you connected to your pets while you’re away. Each day is designed around your pet’s specific needs, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, affection, and routine while maintaining the comfort of their familiar environment.

Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
I’ve always grown up around animals. Dogs, cats, birds and even a turtle! I have doggy sat plenty of times in the past and I own three cats of my own. I would love to own a dog one day, which is one of the reasons I am excited to doggy sit!

Avis
Ixchel is a loving pet caregiver, that goes beyond her way to get to know my cats and understand their quirks. When I’m away she keeps me updated through pictures of my cats when they’re being fed or having good time. She’s always on time, very professional, and make sure that everything is tidy before i comeback.
I have known ixchel for approximately 5 years. Within those five years, I have seen her rehabilitate and raise three kittens. These kittens were malnourished when found and Ixchel went through extensive effort to make sure they were healthy and happy. When I brought my dog in, Ixchel was the first in line to offer to take care of her. During vacations, Ixchel is the first person I call when I want someone to take my pup. She has sent me updates through text and pictures, cuddles, plays, and goes on walks as if Riri was her dog. I’m eternally grateful to have someone in my life that cares this immensely about animal and caregiving.
