Information Jimena B. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, I’d love to know: • If your dog takes any medications • How they interact with other dogs • If they experience separation anxiety • Their routines, habits, and any special instructions • Anything else you feel is important for their wellbeing

A typical day is calm, structured, and centered around your pet’s usual routine. Throughout the day, I make sure your dog gets attention, playtime, rest, and mental stimulation, while also keeping your home tidy and cared for. Fun activities are always adapted to each dog’s personality and energy. These can include: • Daily walks in the neighborhood • Playtime with toys or games they already enjoy • Basic training reinforcement and mental stimulation • Calm companionship for dogs who prefer affection over high activity • Outdoor time, sniffing walks, and relaxed exploration My focus is not over-stimulating, but creating a balanced, familiar, and emotionally safe environment so your pet feels happy, secure, and at home while you’re away.

Pet care experience

As a dog owner myself, I truly understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and even more so when it involves your home. That’s why my services are always personalized and thoughtfully designed around you and your dog’s needs, whether it’s walking, boarding, or house sitting. For dog boarding, I intentionally care for only a small number of dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of attention, quality care, and a calm environment. My mission is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and for you to be able to truly relax while you’re away, whether it’s for a vacation or a busy day. I also send plenty of photos and videos, just as I would want myself, so you can always have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. I’ve been around dogs since I was 8 years old, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Friends and family have long trusted me with their dogs and their homes, knowing they’ll be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. I offer dog walking, dog boarding, and in-home house sitting, always tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and emotional needs. Whether it’s a walk, an overnight stay, or caring for your dog in their own home, my focus is on creating a calm, safe, and loving experience, so your dog feels comfortable and you feel completely at ease. I truly care about the dogs I look after, and my goal is that they feel happy, secure, and well-loved while you’re away. Feel free to reach out! I’m always happy to chat and see if we’re a good fit.

This is the second time jimena has house sat with my dog. As with the first time she gave excellent care and companionship to my pet that absolutely loved her. She also left my home well cared for. I would highly recommend her to others.

We had such a great experience with our sitter! This was our first time using the app for our dog Duke, so we were a little nervous leaving him with someone new… but she completely put us at ease. She sent lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated and made it clear Duke was having a great time. During our trip, an unexpected emergency came up and we needed to extend our booking by two extra days. She was incredibly flexible, understanding, and reassuring during a stressful moment, which meant a lot to us. Duke was clearly well cared for and happy, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Jimena was so good to our girl. Very communicative and even cleaned our space before she left. 10/10 would recommend!

Jimena is absolutely wonderful. She regularly takes our strong and hyperactive golden retriever on walks. She is reliable, an excellent communicator and great with Murphy. Thank you Jimena!
