Pet care experience

Caring, Responsible Pet Sitter

I care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—it’s not just a job for me, it’s something I look forward to every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re with me. I live in an area with easy access to walking trails, and daily walks are a big part of my routine. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment, not just quick potty breaks. I also have experience caring for puppies and can help reinforce basic training during their stay, such as leash walking, routines, and positive behaviors. I’m patient and consistent, and I understand how important structure is—especially for younger dogs. Overall, I treat every dog like my own and focus on giving them attention, activity, and a calm, caring environment.

Rui was fantastic with Snoopy who can be overly joyous and loving. She sent photos of Snoopy and her dog Misty spending time together which were fantastic to receive during our holiday. It was so reassuring to know Snoopy was in good hands and had a playmate while we were out of town.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. Dogs in my care get regular walks, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m flexible and can adjust to each dog’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes multiple walks on nearby trails, playtime, and lots of attention. I keep a consistent routine with feeding and rest, and for puppies, I can include light training during the day. My goal is to keep pets active, engaged, and comfortable.

I like to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality, along with any special needs, training, or health concerns. It’s also helpful to know how they do with other dogs and new environments. For safety, I currently accept dogs under 40 lbs and cannot take dogs with a history of biting or serious behavioral issues.
