Safety, trust & environment

I have a small back patio/yard area as well as parks nearby. Depending on the animal and your preference, they are welcome to roam the apt. when I am away or if more comfortable in a crate. My office is nearby and on the days I have to go in, I would be able to check on them mid-day. Depending on your pet's demeanor, I would be able to take them with me to the office. Your pet is welcome to sleep where they are most comfortable and are allowed on the sofa and bed.

Information Satoia M. would like to know about your pet

What's your dog's usual daily routine. How well does you dog walk on leash? Is your pet dog friendly? Can I let your dog off leash to play with other dogs at the park? How is their recall? What commands does your pet know? Does your furry friend have any health issues or require any medication or special diet restrictions? Does he or she have separation anxiety? Is your pet reactive? Any likes or dislikes specific to your pet. Favorite hiding places in the home. Favorite walking routes. Your pet's reactions to other animals and passersby while on leash. Is there any food or toy aggression? Is it okay if I give your dog treats (I use Ziwi Peak lamb flavor dog food as treats)?

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood and going to a nearby park. We will likely spend time at my good pup friend, Lupe's house. She enjoys meeting and having new friends to play with. I enjoy hiking on some weekends and if permitted your dog would join me. We could make trips to the beach as well. Lots of playing with their favorite toys and a ton of cuddles if that is what your pet likes.

Loving each fur baby as my own

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals and love to be around them.  Both cats and dogs have been apart of my life from a young age. I cared for our mini pinscher, Smokey in my family home until I enlisted in the Air Force. I also adopted my little diva mini poodle and best friend named Brownie until she passed away. I have experience boarding and fostering animals as well. I would routinely care for my friends' animals while they were out of town for days to months at a time. I fostered a happy little chihuahua  for a little over a year until his mom was able to move to a place where she could keep him. I recently adopted my little fur baby, Rumor. She is super sweet and I know she'd love to play with your baby. When house-sitting or making drop-in visits, I take in the mail, water plants, etc. Whatever you need to make it convenient  for you and ensure that you have as little stress as possible while away. I absolutely adore taking care of furry friends; playing and cuddling with them, you name it! I am very aware of a dogs needs and also have experience caring for pets with special needs, seniors, and pets who require medications. Your pet will get lots of love and attention, maybe even a little spoiled. I love taking pictures and videos of the animals I care for, so if you want pictures from the walks, on adventures, or just even hanging out when they're being their cute little selves, I will gladly send them to you! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby.😊 I currently work full-time on a hybrid schedule, and very flexible. I go into the office a few days a week. I am available on the weekends as well to have fun adventures with your pet. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Satoia is truly a dog whisperer. I’m writing this a day after her assignment ended and my Schnauzers are still sniffing around for her. She won their hearts and also mine. If you are looking for someone who can care for your pup even better than you, then Satoia is your person. I thought I was an awesome Furbaby Mom, but now I know I’ve got a little more work I need to do. 🙂. Thank you Satoia for being such a loving and caring caretaker. We will be checking your calendar again real soon! Onyx and Jazz also send their thanks!

Satoia is the best! I felt very safe leaving my fur babies with her. She kept it very professional and always kept us in the loop. She went above and beyond. Thanks Satoia!

Satoia stayed with our fur family for a week while we were out of town. They love her. She’s so attentive and excellent at communicating with us. We will continue to book with her!
