Pet care experience

Attentive pet care focused on safet

I’m a reliable and detail-oriented pet sitter and dog walker who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow routines carefully, prioritize safety, and provide lots of love and attention. 🐾 Adventures Beyond the Backyard I believe dogs deserve more than just a walk around the block—they deserve adventures! 🐶✨ When appropriate for your pup, I love taking my furry guests on fun little outings where they can explore new places, enjoy nature, sniff around, get some exercise, and simply have a great time. Whether it’s a relaxing nature walk, a trip to a dog-friendly park, a game of fetch, or discovering a new favorite spot, I love giving dogs experiences that keep their minds and tails happy. 🌿🐾 Every dog is different, so I tailor adventures to their personality, energy level, comfort, and needs. Some pups love an exciting day of exploring, while others prefer a peaceful stroll with plenty of time to sniff and take everything in. And of course, I love keeping their parents in the loop with photos and updates along the way, so you get to see the fun too! 📸❤️ With me, your pup isn’t just being cared for—they’re getting the chance to play, explore, experience, and make happy memories. 🐾✨ 🐾 Take Your Dog Out for the Day! Looking for something a little more exciting than a regular walk or daycare? Let me take your pup on a Doggy Day Adventure! 🌿🐶✨ Your dog can spend the day getting out of the house, exploring new places, enjoying nature, playing, sniffing, getting exercise, and experiencing fun enrichment activities—all while receiving plenty of love and attention. Depending on your pup’s personality and energy level, adventures can include dog-friendly parks, nature walks, playtime, exploring new surroundings, games, and plenty of opportunities to just be a dog! 🐾 I’ll always tailor the experience to your dog’s comfort level and needs, and you’ll receive photos and updates throughout their adventure so you can see what your pup is up to. 📸❤️ ✨ Interested in a Doggy Day Adventure for your pup? Send me a message and I’ll be happy to explain the experience, options, and pricing!

Mafalda has the magic! Kenzie was a little shy at first, but now she and Mafalda are completely inseparable. Mafalda took the time to meet Kenzie at the dog park before her boarding stay, and I truly think that made all the difference. Meeting in a neutral environment gave Kenzie a chance to get comfortable with her before being in a new setting. Mafalda genuinely cares for every animal she looks after, and her loving, patient approach was exactly what Kenzie needed. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I highly recommend Mafalda for all of your pet-sitting needs!

We are SO excited to have found a new permanent sitter for our babies! 🥹❤️ Usually when you go on vacation, you miss your dogs like crazy, but this time I genuinely felt at ease. Mafalda sent so many pictures and updates that I felt like I was right there with them! She took them out, gave them plenty of attention, and made sure they had lots of interaction with both people and other pets. After having a couple of not-so-great experiences on this app, finding someone this amazing means so much. When you find someone good, STICK WITH THEM! 😂 If you’re nervous about leaving your babies in someone else’s hands, choose Mafalda. I would choose her again and again, and I truly don’t think you’ll regret it! 🐶💕

She was great. Very attentive and mindful. The place was just as it was left and she even took out the trash! My fur babies loved her.

Mafalda was an incredible sitter for our dogs while we were away. She kept us informed of how our dogs were doing through pictures and messages throughout the day. It looked like our dogs were also on vacation with how much fun they were having during their stay with her! We will absolutely be working with her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care notes. I keep the space clean, provide companionship, playtime, and exercise, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality. This can include walks, playtime, enrichment games, cuddle time, and calm companionship. My goal is for pets to feel happy, engaged, and relaxed.
