My schedule shifts a bit week to week, but pet care always comes first. I'm home most of the time, hanging out with everyone. Occasionally, I have an appointment and need to step out. In those cases, my pets and guests stay in their secured crates until I'm back, usually just a few hours. No long stretches alone, no guesswork.

Safety, trust & environment

Their safety and comfort come first, always. I ask a lot of questions before a stay so I actually understand a dog's routine, behavior, and needs, not just the basics. My yard's fenced, so outside time is secure. My own dogs are crate trained, and I treat their crate as their safe space, not a punishment. Guest dogs get that same setup: a secure spot that's just theirs, so they always have somewhere to feel calm and settled. I pay close attention to body language. If there's any tension or overstimulation, I step in fast and separate dogs right away. I keep owners in the loop, too. If something comes up during a stay, I reach out and we handle it together.

Information Lupita O. would like to know about your pet

Tell me everything, the good and the not-so-good. Routine, feeding, meds, energy level, triggers, anxieties, quirks, how they do around other dogs. I want the full picture, not just the highlight reel. The more I know, the better I can keep them safe and comfortable while you're gone.

A typical day

Meals, potty breaks, and fresh water: all whenever they need it. No rigid schedule here. I'm in the garden a lot, so guests get plenty of yard time while I'm out there doing my own thing. Close enough to keep an eye on them but not hovering. If they want to play, we play. Mental stimulation, maybe some fetch, or the hose if it's a hot day and they're into that. If they'd rather nap, that's just as good. I let them set the pace.

Pet care experience

Turns out you can just become a dog person by accident. Mine happened with four big dogs — two shepherds, a pit mix, and a mastiff — before I even had my own dogs. My friends were paying me anyway so in 2018, signing up for Rover just made it official. Now I've got my own pack at home too: an 11-year-old corgi, an 8-year-old lab/pit mix, and our newest addition, a 1-year-old 80-lb bulldog/boxer mix who's still figuring out he's not a lap dog. So I'm well-versed in couch-potato energy, "why is the zoomies happening at 11pm" energy, and everything in between. I only host one family's dogs at a time — no big crowds, no chaos, just chill vibes and your dog getting to be the main character for their stay. Let's just say if your dog's a lot, so are mine — we'll get along great.

Lupita and family took great care of our dog “Cow” and she sent daily pictures. She was responsive and concerned about our dogs well being. We would board with her again.

Lupita and her husband were an absolute savior! Our sitter cancelled last minute and Lupita was able to accommodate within 24 hours. We have a pretty high maintenance Siberian Husky, and Lupita was extremely understanding of all his silly needs and his non-stop energy. We were away for 3 days, and Lupita sent about 10 photos per day of our crazy boy. Would absolutely book again and will recommend to anyone looking for a responsible safe place for their dog to visit.

Harper had a great time when she stayed with Lupita! She came home happy and tired. It was great to receive so many updates and pictures during her stay too. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fun place to board their dogs. She was also accommodating to pick up and drop off times which was super helpful!
