Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe and comfortable environment that feels like a second home to them. I provide ample playtime, regular exercise, and affection to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met, especially when they are away from mom/dad. I am also keen on maintaining established routines, including feeding schedules and medication if needed, to minimize stress. My home includes a sizable backyard with an enclosed fence and I am also within walking distance of two parks. I also love driving to the Silverlake reservoir and Elysian for midday jaunts!

Information Topacio A. would like to know about your pet

I can take any dogs that have special medication needs as I can follow instructions to a T. I am very thorough, meticulous, professional, and responsible when it comes to medication. It's also imperative that your furry friend is housebroken, up-to-date on vaccines and current on flea meds. I also cannot take dogs that bark too much. Please be transparent about your dog's barking situation. Thank you. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, special needs, or behavioral issues. Does your dog like the occasional puppuccino? ;) *Due to the nature of my having a cat, I can not take dogs that are not cat-friendly.*

A typical day

I am a native Los Angelina so I know my parks/attractions well. I love primarily going to Echo Park Lake which is a five-minute walk from my house. But I also frequent Elysian Park, Vermont Canyon and Franklin Canyon Park. I also believe in enrichment for your dog throughout the day, so I like freezing treats in dog friendly broths or filling a Kong up for them. I also use dog mats to freeze peanut butter + so they are mentally active throughout the day. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or the like so we can stay clear of any food issues.

Pet care experience

** Dog Walking Information: I offer a premium one-dog-at-a-time walking service, which means your dog receives my FULL attention, care, and supervision throughout the entire walk. I believe dogs are happiest and safest when they're not competing with a group for attention, allowing me to create a more personalized experience and build a genuine connection with each pup. I am also an avid runner and love running around Silverlake Reservoir or Echo Park Lake. If your dog really needs to get energy out, then I am the gal for that. I enjoy taking pups to the Silverlake Dog Park as well, for a nice cool down. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a more energetic walk, I'm happy to tailor each outing to their needs and personality. Would love to hear more information about your pup and help make his/her day more enjoyable with a long nature walk!! xo ------------------------------------------------------- ** Overnight Information: I take pride in offering a professional, personable, and premium boarding service, where I board only ONE dog at a time to ensure undivided attention. My home is consistently clean, with a sizable/gated backyard providing a safe, fun and hygienic environment for your furry companion. Working from home also allows me to be fully dedicated to your pet's needs, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience during their stay. I also come equipped with crates, dog beds, and many dog enrichment toys so even if you can't bring yours, your dog will get the bedding/toy situation he/she needs to feel comfortable and have fun. And as an added security, I place an airtag on your dog's collar for the entire stay for mine and your peace of mind.** What sets me apart from other sitters is my versatile skill set and genuine passion for pets. I have expertise in both training puppies and providing gentle care for seniors, and can cater to a wide range of needs. My commitment to continuous learning means I stay updated on the latest in pet care, ensuring a safe and enriching experience for your furry family members. Whether it's nurturing the boundless energy of a young pup or offering extra patience and comfort to a senior companion, I can provide the specialized care your pets deserve, setting me apart as a well-rounded and devoted pet caregiver. Next to my experience on Rover, I also have over 5 years of experience fostering kittens and dogs.

This was Lulu’s second time with Topacio and she loved it! Lulu had the best time! Topacio took the time to sit with me prior to leaving Lulu to chat about her schedule and other things I felt so comfortable leaving Lulu knowing Topacio had all the info needed :)

Topacio was an amazing sitter for my dog! She sent lots of pictures and updates and was super accommodating when my flight got pushed back and I had to push back my pick up time. Topacio has a lovely backyard where my dog could explore and she came home super happy! I would highly recommend Topacio :)
