Pets are marvelous!! I love them

Pet care experience

I left my two dogs in my home country, and I miss them so much. The happiness that a pet can bring into our lives is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, my previous place in Vancouver didn't allow pets, so I decided to become a pet sitter in 2019. This choice allowed me to enjoy my free time with wonderful companions—my new furry friends. Now, we live in a house with a fenced yard, surrounded by nature and near the beach. The best part is that there is no pet policy here, which is why we welcomed Kiki, a Yorkshire Terrier, into our family. We love and care for her deeply. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which is fantastic! I can spend quality time with the pets. They bring so much joy and energy into my life. I genuinely love animals—my personality is energetic, friendly, and caring. There is no happiness without them. Playing, walking, and simply petting them fills me with good energy. Pets deserve our love and care; they are innocent creatures. My teenager and I have taken care of dogs for friends and family for a while now. We enjoy walking dogs and boarding them at home. I'm just a five-minute walk from the beach, and there is a dog park, as well as parks and trails nearby. I would be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet your precious companion. They would be more than welcome in our lives!

Minerva was absolutely amazing with our dog, Pablo! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, kind, and compassionate she is. She treated Pablo like he was her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Knowing Pablo was in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Minerva went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she gave Pablo. Thank you so much, Minerva!

Minerva went above and beyond to keep my dogs comfortable, and happy. She sent me updates, with photos daily and reassured me that they were doing great! I was a little nervous as I have never boarded them with anyone other than family, and my senior dogs have some special care instructions but with Minerva I felt completely confident that they were in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring person to look after their pups!
