Pet care experience

Vegan Dog Lover • 10+ Yrs Care

I am a lifelong animal lover and have been vegan since 2018 because I believe in respecting and protecting all animals. I currently care for three rescued Shih Tzus who have been part of my life for over 10 years they are truly like my children. This is not just pet care for me, it is a way of life. I have over 10 years of real experience living daily with dogs, understanding their needs, emotions, and routines. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to the park, and even to the beach when possible, always making sure they feel safe, active, and loved. My approach is simple: treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide calm, responsible, and attentive care in a safe environment. If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and doesn’t see this as just a job, I would be happy to take care of your dog.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work remotely Monday through Friday, with only one in-office day per week for about three hours. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the dogs I care for during the week. I already have three rescued Shih Tzus, so caring for dogs is a normal and essential part of my everyday life. My routine is built around their needs morning walks, regular potty breaks, play time, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time during weekdays, I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never an “extra task” in my day they are part of my lifestyle. On Saturdays, I am fully available and can dedicate more time for boarding, walks, and extended care. Sundays are my day off since I work on-site and am not available. I’m used to balancing work and pet care in a way that ensures every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a secure, pet-friendly luxury apartment in Miami, just steps from the beach and some of the city’s most beautiful parks. The environment is calm, clean, and fully suitable for dogs, providing a safe and comfortable space at all times. In addition, I have access to a private home outside Miami with a garden and pool, which I occasionally use for extended outdoor time and enrichment activities, depending on scheduling and suitability. As a dog owner myself with three rescued Shih Tzus, my entire lifestyle is built around structure, safety, and high-quality care. Every space I use is fully adapted to ensure a secure, supervised, and stress-free environment for dogs. My priority is to provide a refined, attentive, and trustworthy care experience where dogs feel relaxed, safe, and genuinely at home.
