Your Pet’s Home Away From Home
Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm in Cuba, where we cared for 15+ dogs along with many other animals. That experience taught me from a young age how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. Today, I have a sweet senior rescue dog and recently welcomed a cat into my home. I also help care for my brothers’ dogs, including two French Bulldogs, a Husky, and a Pit Bull, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for your peace of mind.

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I plan my day around their needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company. I always make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while their owner is away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable and never force interactions if they’re shy or anxious. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.

A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level. Whether it’s neighborhood walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, belly rubs, or simply relaxing together on the couch, my goal is to make sure they stay happy, active, and loved. I also enjoy giving lots of praise and attention to help pets feel comfortable while their family is away.
