Safety, trust & environment

At my apartment building, there's an open-air enclosed courtyard for the residents and their furry friends to play together. I would happily take the dog to get some socialization. There are also several smaller neighborhood green areas within a couple blocks of my apartment. I'll make sure they have food, water, cuddles, regular potty breaks, and are kept at a safe distance from other animals. I also only care for one pet at a time to avoid any issues between pets from different families. Your dog will have my undivided attention. 😊

Information Ligia A. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know the dog’s general routine. This should include time, frequency, and amount the dog is normally fed as well as walked and taken outside for potty breaks. I’d also like to know its comfort level with meeting other animals and any special medications it needs.

A typical day

We’ll go on walks, play with toys, and check out all the exciting smells around the neighborhood! I’m an active person and will gladly take the dog running with me and to explore the playgrounds nearby. I send daily updates with photos and videos so you’ll never feel far from your pup.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of my own dogs since they were eight weeks old through old age. They bring immense joy and encourage you to soak up the present moment. I can manage high energy, anxious, playful, or young dogs.

Ligia was fantastic - I highly recommend her! She was available at the last minute for a lengthy sit over Labor day weekend and the following week. My dog is 75 lbs and has some separation anxiety but she was not deterred! I'm so grateful to her for the great care and excellent communication!

Ligia was wonderful. Caroline came home so happy and calm I could tell she had a great time while we were away. She sent me updates daily so I knew Caroline was doing well. Would definitely use her again!

Amazing! Ligia took such good care of our dog AJ while we were on vacation. AJ has separation anxiety and can be a nervous pup, but Ligia made her feel at home. I could tell when picking her up that AJ had a great stay and felt comfortable with Ligia. Fantastic communication throughout the stay with lots of picture and video updates as well. Ligia even met us for a meet and greet before the boarding started so AJ could feel more comfortable. Would recommend 110% and we hope to have Ligia care for AJ in the future.
