Bringing Smile to 🐶 and Purrs to🐱

Passionate pet sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Adept at providing exercise, feeding, general pet care and of course walking and playing. I have dogs and cats in my family since I was 10. Currently I have a 10 years old shih tzu, that I got when he was 5 months old. I’m looking after my friends dogs and cats, when they are out and also volunteer in several shelters in Seattle area.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking with pets, as they show so much of their personality during walks. While some love to run, others spending more time on exploring the area. I always paying attention to pet’s personality and interests during the walk. For drop-in visits, I always check and reconfirm with pets’ families any feeding specifications, any allergies or medication restrictions.

Rufina has been nothing short of amazing. She’s incredibly reliable, genuinely sweet, and treats Maysie with so much love and patience. You can just feel how much she cares. Knowing Maysie is with someone this trustworthy gives me total peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend.

We absolutely adore Rufina! She’s the kindest, most gentle soul and it’s so clear how much she loves dogs. The way she interacts with my puppy just melts my heart- calm, patient, and full of genuine care. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and gives me complete peace of mind knowing my puppy is not just cared for, but truly loved when I’m not there. We’re beyond lucky to have her in our lives!
