About Rui S.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs leashed during walks unless in a secure, enclosed area. I follow feeding instructions carefully and make sure water is always fresh. I respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and double-check locks before leaving. I stay attentive, calm, and prepared in different situations to ensure a safe and stress-free experience.
Information Rui S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, please let me know about your dog's unique personality—are they a 'social butterfly' or a bit shy? I’d like to know their specific feeding schedule, any medical requirements or allergies, and their typical reaction to other dogs or loud noises like thunder. Knowing their favorite 'high-value' treats or comfort toys helps me bond with them faster. My goal is to maintain their home routine as closely as possible to minimize any stress during their stay.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning stretch and a potty break, followed by an engaging walk to explore the neighborhood. Since I work with a flexible schedule, your dog will never feel lonely; I provide frequent belly rubs, interactive play like tug-of-war or fetch, and plenty of mental stimulation. In the afternoon, we’ll enjoy some quiet 'decompressing' time with background music or a soothing chew toy. I’ll also send you photo/video updates throughout the day so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having!

Calm, reliable dog sitter
Pet care experience
Hi! I have 8 years of hands-on dog care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, fresh water, basic grooming, and keeping their environment clean and organized. I pay close attention to energy levels, appetite, and behavior to ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m patient with shy dogs and confident with energetic pups. I always follow your care instructions carefully and provide photo updates for peace of mind.

Rui was great! She sent pictures and updates regularly throughout the visit. I knew that my pets were happy and getting everything they needed! Highly recommend!
Super sweet and patient. Reliable and responsive. Definitely would hire again!
Rui was a really great dog sitter! She watched my dog for 3 days and sent pictures and updates everyday. I would 100% let her watch my dog again!
