Pet care experience

Active Dog Mom | Walker & sitter 🐾

Hi, I’m Luz 🤍 I’m a proud dog mom to two fur babies: my sweet 4-year-old Cavapoo and my playful 1-year-old Toy Poodle. They are my world, and that love naturally extends to every dog I welcome into my home. I do things a little differently here. I keep my clientele small and intentional. I believe every dog deserves focused, genuine care, not just a place to sleep. The families I work with aren’t just clients, they become part of my family. That’s the kind of relationship I’m here to build. What your pup can look forward to 🐾 From the moment they arrive, they’re surrounded by love. My two boys are friendly, social companions who make every stay feel comfortable and fun. We have a private fenced dog park right at our building, so there’s plenty of space to run, play, and be a dog, every single day. I’m also an active walker, averaging 50+ miles a month, so your pup will always be well exercised and happy. When it’s time for a little pampering, I offer a full dog wash including shampoo/ whitening shampoo, CHI detangling spray, brushing, blow dry, and a finishing perfume so they go home looking and smelling their best. 🛁✨ (Dog wash is available as an add-on for an additional fee.) Pet laundry is included by request. Their blankets, beds, and favorite things go home as fresh as they do. Throughout every stay, you’ll receive real-time photos and updates! Peace of mind matters just as much as the care itself. Services offered: 🐶 Dog Boarding 🐶 Dog Walking 🛁 Dog Wash (add-on) 🧺 Pet Laundry (included by request) 📍 Meriden, CT | Meet & greets are available by request for shorter stays. M&G’s are required before booking for longer stays to ensure a healthy and playful environment. ⚠️ NO CATS — no exceptions. My eldest is not cat-friendly and the safety of every animal in my home always comes first. I’d love to meet your pup and earn your trust. Feel free to message me anytime.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 💌

Luz was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Poncho, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her communication was excellent. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Poncho was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I highly recommend Luz to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter.

Schedule

I’m home full-time with a completely flexible schedule, which means your dog is never left alone or waiting on attention. Whether it’s a long afternoon walk, an evening stroll, or a cozy night in, I’m always present and available. I genuinely love being home with my babies, so boarding fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Your pup isn’t coming to a business, they’re coming to a home where someone is there, all day, every day. 🤍

Safety, trust & environment

The safety of every dog in my care is something I take seriously and never compromise on. All dogs are kept on harnesses and leashes during walks and outings. Free roaming is only permitted within our private fenced dog park. Socialization with other dogs is handled with care and only takes place with prior approval from the pet parent. Treats are never given without authorization, and all allergies, sensitivities, and health conditions are documented before every stay. Please note that breed and weight restrictions may apply. Feel free to message me for more details before booking. 💌

Pets

A typical day

Daily life here looks a little different depending on the season haha and honestly, that’s one of my favorite things about it. In the warmer months, we’re outside often, enjoying long walks and making the most of every sunny day. In the winter, we slow down and settle into a cozier routine, albeit a good snow day will absolutely get us bundled up and outside 🌨️ Every day includes 3–4 walks, scheduled meal and treat breaks, fetch twice a day, and cuddles. I’m a homebody at heart and genuinely love nothing more than a dog curled up next to me. My home is a comfortable, open space: toys always accessible, furniture welcome to roam, and the energy loving. Our apartment complex also features a private fenced dog park where the pups can roam freely, burn energy, and enjoy being dogs in a safe, enclosed space. It’s one of my favorite parts of our daily routine and something every dog here truly gets to enjoy. 🐾

Prior to booking, please share any special accommodations, medical conditions, or health concerns your dog may have. This allows me to make sure I’m fully prepared to provide the level of care your pup needs and to confirm that my home and my boys are the right fit. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. 🤍
