Pet care experience

Retired & reliable: Loving dog care

I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly enjoy caring for them. I’m retired and home full time, which means your dog will always have company, supervision, and lots of attention. Our family has many dogs, and I regularly pet-sit for all of my kids, sometimes up to five dogs at once, all with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with shy or anxious dogs, high energy pups, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, dogs recovering from medical injuries, and pets who require a medication schedule or special instructions. Whether your dog needs cuddles on the couch, a calm environment to relax, or a steady routine with structure and medication reminders, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 15, 2026

Silvia took amazing care of my two pups and made me feel completely at ease during their stay. She was very communicative and sent the best updates and photos throughout the day. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her again! Highly recommend!

My wife’s mom watches our dogs all the time and they love her. She’s really good with all kinds of dogs and takes great care of them. We never worry when they’re with her she treats them like her own.

Schedule

I’m retired and home full-time, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and evening, which means your pup will always have company, attention, and a consistent routine. I love having dogs around, and they’re rarely left alone.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean home environment and have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I follow your instructions closely, handle medications confidently, and ensure every pup feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m patient, gentle, and familiar with senior dogs and special-care situations.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pup happy, relaxed, and engaged. We’ll enjoy plenty of outside time, exploring the yard, and playtime with toys. Indoors, I love mixing in cuddles, and calm downtime so your dog feels completely at home. Every day is tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort.
