Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible, Caring, and Passionate!
I’ve spent most my life taking care of our cats, and eventually our dogs. I currently have a samoyed and a husky. Known dogs to be highly energetic and working dogs. I house sit for my mom for trips. A few years ago her friends started to hire me, a few neighbors as well. I have a flexible schedule, and have taken care of small dogs to extremely large dogs. I am good with reactive dogs and knowing how to handle those situations. I love animals more than anything, and pour my heart into each one I meet.

Safety, trust & environment
For house sitting, I am in the home and spending time with the pets at all times, aside from my in person class times. I stick to a schedule of feedings, walks, play time, etc. I like to stay organized and I know animals enjoy structure! I am always sending photos and updates, as well as making sure I thoroughly know as much about the pet as possible before the stay. I treat my walking/feeding pets the same. Always on time and double checking I am following their routine.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our three little ones. Penelope (we know her as Santos) came to us through a family & friends connection, and while I believe she has more experience with big dogs, she was wonderful and gentle with our small pups. She played fetch with our puppy for hours, kept our house spotless, and sent us photo and video updates throughout that put us completely at ease. She was so easy to communicate with and was flexible if flight delays threatened to shift our timing. Our senior dog Bella has some meds and quirks, and Santos handled all of it without missing a beat. Best of all, when we came home the dogs were happy and relaxed, not the least bit anxious — which tells you everything about the care they got. We've already booked her a second time and are planning a third. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Schedule
I currently attend Seattle Central College, 1/3 of my courses are in person. This means, Monday-Thursday I am there for an hour or two. No longer than that. I am available afterwards. Fridays-Sundays I am free, but will have tutoring for an hour one of those days in the afternoon. I am very flexible and able to be at the house anytime. Early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and nights.
