Where tails never stop wagging!

Pet care experience

I’d set myself apart by focusing on personalized care and attention. Here’s what would make me stand out: Reliable & Attentive: I’d follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable. Experience with Different Needs: Whether it’s energetic puppies needing training reinforcement or senior dogs requiring extra care, I’d tailor my approach. Enrichment & Play: I wouldn’t just watch pets—I’d engage them with games, walks, and mental stimulation. Strong Communication: Regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel at ease. Calm & Patient Approach: Especially helpful for anxious or rescue pets. Basic Training Reinforcement: If the owner is working on commands or house manners, I’d help maintain consistency.

Thalia was amazing! She was supper commutative and flexible with times for drop off and pick up seeing as we were driving to our destination. She sent a picture of my handsome boy everyday and kept me in the know of when they’d go to the park and him being fed! She was so sweet and welcoming to me and my dog bandit! highly recommend and will definitely reach out to her again when i need someone to look after bandit!

Thalia was great with our pup! We left Archie in her care in our home for a week. She was very respectful and responsible with our needs and requests while we were away. I highly recommend Thalia!

Safety, trust & environment

My approach is depending on whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. In My Home Provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with space to play and rest. Follow feeding schedules and dietary needs. Daily walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Supervise interactions with other pets (if any). Maintain a clean and comfortable space for them. In a Client’s Home Follow the owner’s routine to keep the pet comfortable. Feed, water, and administer any necessary medication. Take dogs for walks and provide playtime. Clean up after them (litter boxes, accidents, etc.). Provide companionship to reduce stress from their owner’s absence. Send updates and pictures to the owner.

Information Thalia R. would like to know about your pet

Diet & Feeding Schedule: Any allergies, special diets, or mealtime routines. Medical Needs: Medications, health conditions, vet info, and emergency contacts. Temperament & Behavior: Are they shy, energetic, aggressive, or anxious? Exercise & Play Preferences: Favorite activities, toys, and walking habits. Training & Commands: What they respond to (sit, stay, recall commands, etc.). House Rules: Allowed on furniture? Crate trained? Specific routines? Socialization: How they interact with other pets, strangers, and new environments.

A typical day

For dogs, I’d tailor the activities to their energy level and personality. Here are some fun things I’d do: take Outdoor Adventures: Walks in new places, hikes, or even a trip to a dog-friendly park. Fetch & Tug-of-War: Classic games to burn off energy. Obstacle Course: Setting up a mini agility course with tunnels, jumps, or weave poles. Hide-and-Seek: Either with myself or hiding treats for them to sniff out. Water Play: If they like water, sprinklers, kiddie pools, or even a beach/lake visit. Training & Trick Learning: Keeps their mind sharp and strengthens our bond. Puppy Playdates: If they’re social, meeting up with other friendly dogs.
