Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover, patient & kind

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. Back home, I have two dogs—a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Samoyed—and I’ve spent years walking them, playing with them, and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I’ve also cared for smaller breeds, including Shih Tzus, so I’m comfortable adapting to different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I understand that staying in a familiar environment helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping the home clean and treating it with the same respect I would my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and worry-free while you’re away.

Santiago was super communicative and available last minute which I really appreciated! He made sure to send updates and pictures and took my dog for a really nice walk. I could tell she was in good hands!
