Pet care experience

Full-time dog enthusiast, part-time

Growing up in Peru, I had a Yorkshire Terrier for 15 years- so dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐾 For the past two years I’ve called Washington DC home, and it’s been the best decision. My sister has the most adorable Schnauzer, and caring for her here has been such a joy :) from discovering the city’s best dog parks together to stepping up when she had a medical emergency and needed extra attention and care. That experience only deepened my love and confidence with dogs. I moved to DC for my master’s degree, and right now I’m in a transition period between jobs, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they truly deserve. One of my favorite things about this city? Exploring it on foot, and honestly, everything is better with a furry companion by my side. 🐶🌿

Safety, trust & environment

I offer in-home pet care, coming to your place so your dog stays comfortable in their own environment; no stress, no adjustment needed! 🏡 Before any visit, I love having a quick chat about your pet’s routine, habits, and any special needs so I can give them the most personalized care possible :)

Schedule

I’m currently in a career transition, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs- mornings, afternoons, weekdays or weekends, I’m here! 🐾 I love getting outside and going on long walks, and after two years in DC I’ve gotten to know some great dog-friendly parks and shady routes- especially handy during those hot summer months!
