Pet care experience

Dogs are family

I’m attentive to their body language, personality, energy level, and individual routine rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I take safety and communication seriously. I raised three puppies over 10 years and had a senior dog too. Not intimidated by size.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort always come first. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and preferences. I follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I do not take lightly being entrusted to care for your family. I’m also happy to maintain their normal feeding, medication, potty, and sleeping routines so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away and give you peace of mind.

Topazio was great with our pups and was awesome with communications and updating us with photos from time to time as well. Would definitely recommend her to watch and take care of your pets as well. :)

Boarding • Nov 28, 2017

We contacted Topazio on the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving due to a last minute cancellation by our usual dog sitter. She was very responsive from the start and asked a lot of pertinent questions about our dog, Bacon and his mannerisms, discipline and habits. After exchanging a few messages, Topazio agreed to watch Bacon. The next day I dropped him off with her in the evening and she was very warm and assuring and after making sure that Bacon and Topazio's dog Harry were comfortable with each other (to say they were is an understatement!), I left him with her. Throughout the next two days, we stayed in close contact and my wife and I were sent many pictures and videos of the dogs playing and having a great time. It really meant a lot to be able to enjoy a carefree Thanksgiving knowing that Bacon was in the best of hands. I would 100% use Topazio as my go-to dog sitter in the future - as long as Harry can handle the roughhousing that Bacon handed out!

Topazio is amazing with dogs! She is very attentive and puts them first. She is in no rush when she is dog walking and always goes to the park. She also has a fenced backyard with enough room to run around. I trust her with my dog and would recommend her to anyone!

She is very caring person with animals and their well being. We have seen this with her way of managing her own Baby Poodle when she walks him everyday, and how much she loves to spoil him.

Schedule

I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs -including my own- and genuinely enjoy making time for them. My schedule gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether they need lots of exercise, helicopter supervision, or just company.

Triggers and reactivity. Should we avoid passing over dogs in close proximity? Do they have a preferred walking route? Or anything I should avoid. Thanks.
