Petsitter for the Pawlidays

I’ve grown up around animals my whole life—my mom was a professional dog trainer for over 15 years, so I learned early on how to read behavior, build trust, and notice the little things that help pets feel calm and happy. Over the years, I’ve rescued and cared for many dogs and cats, including shy and nervous rescues that needed extra patience, structure, and consistency. Shy or anxious pets are never a problem—I truly love earning their trust and watching them relax and feel safe around me. Friends and family often trust me with their pets when they’re out of town because they know I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering medication, and helping pets adjust to new spaces.

Margarita was amazing with my dog, Copper (an Olde English Bulldogge). She handled him confidently and followed the condo building steps perfectly. She even shared helpful training tips to prevent pulling, which I really appreciated. Copper came back happy and well-exercised. I loved having her taking care of him — 10/10 recommend!

I highly recommend Margarita for this position. She is a loving, caring, and responsible person who loves animals. She's had dogs her whole life, so she knows the ins and outs of how to care for them. I would leave my pet under Margarita's care without a second thought. I know she'll be the perfect person to keep dogs happy and healthy while their owners are away!

Margarita has been the best dog sitter I’ve ever worked with. Margarita has walked Mateo multiple times and she took care of him once when I left on a trip. She is really loving and I can tell Mateo loves spending time with her. I kept getting beautiful pics of the two of them having fun together. I highly recommend her to other dog parents.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets—whether in a client’s home or mine—I always follow your routines closely so both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to their body language, mood, and needs to keep them happy, healthy, and relaxed. I treat every home and pet with the same respect, kindness, and love I give my own.

A typical day

A typical day includes a mix of playtime, fresh air, and relaxation—whatever your pet enjoys most! We might explore the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys, or just curl up together for quiet company. I make sure they’re happy, engaged, and cared for, always adjusting to their unique rhythm and energy.

Please share anything that helps me care for your pet the way you would—feeding schedule, medication, quirks, or habits. I’ve cared for pets with special needs and understand how much routine and patience matter. The more I know, the more I can make them feel secure and loved.
