Pet care experience

Thrilled to care for your dog!

Hello! I have a pretty flexible work and social schedule. I work from home and take breaks every few hours for dog walks and tummy rubs! I have no pets of my own so yours would be the sole focus of all furry snuggles! haha. I'm familiar and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breads... I grew up with a long-haired German Shepard in the SF area and have dog sat for friends and family - Labs, Mastiff, shih tzu, shepherds, Ridgeback - and had 2 chihuahua terriers with an ex for a number of years. If you let me know your pet's "normal" schedule, I can accommodate. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood (I joke that sometimes the walk is more for me than for them). When at home, I’m happy to snuggle on the couch with some tele, some good booty rubs (...cracks me up how much dogs love that), and playing tug'o'war with doggy toys. I usually see how a dog’s temperament is - if they’re more quiet and chill, or need more high-energy activities... I'm happy and quick to accommodate.... whatever keeps the snuggles coming, right!?

Magdalena was amazing. She is an animal whisperer and connected very sweetly with my dog Blue (who is generally apprehensive of getting too close to people because he is injured, but he loved Magdalena) and my dog Rusty. She took super great care of my home, leaving it cleaner and better organized when she left. She was so considerate, organized, kind and a great communicator, giving me snippets of how my pups were doing and what antics they were up to every day. Thank you so much, Magdalena!

Maggie was so great with Frito! She sent frequent updates and made sure he got all the attention he craves. The house was in great condition too when we got home. Thanks Maggie!!

Magdalena was great with Carmy! From the first meeting she was warm and enthusiastic, while still being professional and prioritizing our pup. She sent great updates, photos/videos and administered medicine on our behalf. Will absolutely be asking her to watch Carmy again!

Magdalena was wonderful with my Dog Piper. She stayed at my home and when I got home the house was very clean and my dog was happy and well taken care of. Magdalena had awesome communication before, during and after my trip. I will definitely be hiring her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced (small) yard and always keep an eye on where the dog is. If at the owner’s house, i do the same but do ask owners for any places/things to be aware of.

A typical day

walks, snuggles, scratches, playing catch, rough-housing... you tell me what your pet needs and likes, and I'm happy to keep them happy! I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood near one of the greenbelts off Walnut Creek so the dogs always love taking walks along that and smelling all the new smells.

Definitely love to do a "meet'n'greet" prior to the booking so I can meet you and your dog(s) so you and the dog(s) can meet me and we can chat about likes/dislikes and regular schedules. Let me know how often walks should be, how long 'normal' walks are, if there are any 'warning signs' of unhappiness, what level of energy level they have, and anything that will make their life easier
