Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Pets, Happy Owners – Guarante
I believe what sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience both as a dog trainer and in boarding. Over the years, I've worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring more specialized care. My background in dog training allows me to work with your dog on behavioral issues or reinforce good habits while they're under my care. Additionally, my experience in boarding means I'm accustomed to managing multiple pets at once and ensuring each gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping them on a consistent schedule, or providing enrichment activities, I always ensure that pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a compassionate approach, I can offer more than just basic pet-sitting—I can be an extension of your dog’s family and contribute to their well-being, whether they're staying with me for a day or an extended period.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I respect the pet’s routine and environment, ensuring that everything stays consistent with what they’re used to. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules, while also incorporating any necessary training or enrichment activities. For pets that need additional care—like senior dogs or those with anxiety—I create a calm, structured environment to help them feel comfortable. I also make sure the home is safe and secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or unsecured doors. Trust is key, and I keep an open line of communication with pet owners, offering updates and photos so they feel reassured their pets are in good hands. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment where pets feel cared for, relaxed, and happy.

Schedule
Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and my experience allows me to seamlessly incorporate it into my schedule. As a dog trainer, I’m accustomed to spending time with dogs throughout the day, whether it’s for training sessions, walks, or general care. I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation for pets, which fits well with my structured daily plan. In addition to my training work, I also have experience with boarding, which means I’m used to managing the care of multiple dogs at once. I make sure to set aside specific times each day for feeding, walks, and attention, while also balancing the other tasks of my day. Whether I’m working with puppies, senior dogs, or dogs in need of more specialized care, I structure my routine to ensure each pet gets the individual care and attention they deserve. This flexible yet organized routine allows me to manage pet care efficiently, while maintaining a balanced schedule.
