I grew up in Miami, FL, where I worked in pet sitting alongside my mom for almost a decade. At any given time, we were caring for anywhere from 1 to 12 dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also had many clients where I provided house visits and daily walks, which taught me how important consistency, communication, and trust are when caring for someone else’s pet. Over the years, I’ve become great at reading animals and creating a space where pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy to be there, like a little “summer camp,” with plenty of love, attention, and (if appropriate) new furry friends! I also have limited but solid experience with cat boarding, and I am 1000% open to (and would love!) caring for cats as well. I understand that cats have very different needs than dogs, and I always aim to make them feel calm, respected, and at home. My boyfriend & I live together, and our dog Lilo was truly our child. She was paraplegic, so we have extensive hands-on experience with special needs pets, mobility limitations, medications, and customized care routines. That experience has made us especially patient, attentive, and detail-oriented caregivers. Now based in Boston, I’m very mindful of seasonal needs, from bundled-up winter walks and paw protection to adjusting activity levels based on the weather. Lilo passed away a couple of months ago, and our apartment feels like it’s missing some love, so opening our home to dogs and cats who need a safe, caring place to stay feels incredibly meaningful to us. I treat every pet like family and always aim to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend and help make their stay as comfortable and happy as possible!
