Highlights
Pet care experience
Will stay nights for your pets
I love taking care of animals. I started regularly volunteering at animal shelters when I was a junior in high school, as that was when I finally had a car of my own to take me to volunteer. However, thanks to the help and encouragement of my bonus mom, I have been volunteering with animals since I was in middle school and have owned several pets over the years. I love both dogs and cats. I do not have experience sitting other animals, but am willing to learn with proper instruction. I love any and all dogs and am not opposed to taking care of any, regardless of size, age, or breed. I promise I can and will take very good care of your beloved pets!
Cat care experience
Regina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to sit at the pet's house, as the familiar environment can help alleviate their stress with mom/dad being gone. While at your house, I would be happy to snuggle, pet, and play with your pet. I can take them for walks after work hours. I love nothing more than spending time with your pet, snuggling, and binging Netflix. I will also happily play with your baby. Unfortunately, I am not able to board pets at this time.
Ratings and reviews
Regina is the best! She watched my dogs for 2 weeks while I was in Spain visiting family, and was in touch with me at least once a day. Moxie is a rescue I've only had for several months, and she's skittish to say the least. Snuggles is mellow and earned her name the first day she came to me. Her favorite thing to do is sleep. Regina is so caring, that Moxie warmed up to her and after several days wanted to sleep in Regina;'s room and a few days later wanted to sleep in bed with her--which is where she sleeps with me. While I had carefully shown Regina my feeding process (several supplements and sog foods), I neglected to demonstrate putting their harnesses on. Neither dog cooperated with going on a walk. Regina was successful in getting each out once [big smile] Her real test came when the air conditioner quit (remember, it's August in Albuquerque, NM). I contacted my son who lives in the next block and he contacted the repairmen and they came 2 days later. In the meantime, she went above and beyond to keep herself and the dogs as cool as possible. If you wand an awesome dog sitter, Regina's the one for you. I'd give her 10 stars if that was an option!
Regina went above and beyond taking care of our dog for a week!
Great sitter! Will definitely book again!
Regina did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. I received daily updates with pictures of the cats. She was on top of everthing that needed to be done. One of my cats need medication 3 times a day. Regina didn't miss a beat. She adminstered the pill with no problem. She did have a difficulty on one occasion. I told here if she misses one medication the world would not end. It meant a lot to me that she let me know. Overall Regina did an amazing job. I would absolutely provide a good review should someone show interest in having Regina pet sit.
Regi did an amazing job taking care of our boys for 5 days while we were out of town. She gave our elderly diabetic cat his insulin shots and was attentive to his meal schedule to make sure he was eating enough for his medicine. She was also great with feeding our picky Shih Tzu pup. Regi had excellent and frequent communication and asked us questions if anything seemed off with the boys. We came home to happy healthy boys and a tidy house and will definitely be having her sit for us again in the future. Thanks so much, Regi!
When our dog got skunked in the backyard, Regina went to GREAT lengths to clean her up, and our house as well. She thought of everything, including potential medical indications which thankfully there were none of. All of this happening after midnight, too. I think our home smelled fresher when we got back than when we left. Amazing.

Schedule
I am currently working on a master's degree (fully online) and freelance working remotely. I do have some social obligations, but those are flexible if your baby needs special care.
