Information Rocio F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know details about your pet’s daily routine including feeding times, walks, play, and bedtime, along with any medications, diets, or health concerns. I would love to know about their personality - how they behave around other animals and people, their favorite activities, and any fears or triggers. If I am visiting their space I would like to know beforehand where supplies are kept, kennel needs, and whether the yard is secure. I also confirm emergency contacts. Would like to know your preferences for updates, communication, and house rules to ensure their pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I have a checklist we could go over or you could fill out prior to my visit so I can reference this info prior to spending time with your pet

A typical day

I make sure they get plenty of attention and fun. For dogs, that might mean long walks, backyard play, fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring new sights and smells around the neighborhood. I always adjust activities to fit each pet’s personality, age, and energy level—whether that means an energetic adventure or a calm snuggle on the couch. My goal is to make them feel happy, safe, and loved until their favorite humans come home.

Pet care experience

Bilingual. When I was born, my family already had a German Shepherd who was with us until 2005. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and even chickens, learning how to adapt to pets of all ages and personalities. Had my first dog of my own in 5th grade and stayed with me until 2021, and along the way I also raised cats, rescued a turtle, and cared for both a parrot and a parakeet. I recently moved to Bismarck and, while I haven’t had my own pets this past year, I’ve been dog-sitting my relatives’ pups and dogs. Spending time with them reminded me how much joy animals bring and inspired me to help other pet parents feel confident knowing their furry friends are safe, loved, and well cared for. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved family member. Will gladly provide picture updates of your furry friend.

Rocio did an amazing job caring for our 2 year old labradoodle. She followed his daily routine so he felt comfortable and secure, visiting twice a day for walks, playing, and feeding. She prepared his special meals exactly as we requested due to his strict dietary guidelines from the vet. Pictures were sent to us and updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had plenty of exercise, attention, and snuggles, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup! We could tell she treated him like family, and we will definitely use her again!

Rocio cared for our 4 month old puppy and it couldn't have gone better! She has a fenced in backyard with a lot of space to run and explore. Rocio took our puppy for daily walks and provided a lot of play time. All of our kenneling and food rules were followed and our puppy was so happy at her home! We will be using her services again.
