Safety, trust & environment

As a former teacher and work-from-home small business owner, I offer a blend of structured care and all-day attention. I am present and supervising your dog throughout the day, ensuring their safety and happiness. While I handle quick local errands (max 2–4 hours alone), their routine is always my top priority: they receive scheduled potty breaks every 2–4 hours and a daily refreshing walk. Our home features the ultimate convenience—a doggie door to a secure, grassy yard for unlimited, stress-free bathroom access. ​Your dog will enjoy a truly pampered, cage-free vacation! We provide a dedicated individual dog bed and they will sleep in our bedroom right near us for comfort. They receive fresh food and water daily in their own personal bowls. Best of all, they get to play with our extremely friendly Irish Setter, who loves meeting new buddies! You can rely on my commitment to clear communication and following your instructions perfectly.

Information Vina M. would like to know about your pet

My Irish setter is a good girl. She is very calm and is 8 years old. She is a sweet dog that loves the company of other dogs. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle and also interact with other dogs at the dog park.

A typical day

I love to take our dog on a walk. Her favorite thing to do is go for a run or go to the dog park and catch the ball. My daughter and son also love to pet the dog and give the dog gentle attention.

I highly recommend Vina as a loving and responsible pet sitter. I can confidently speak to her exceptional character and reliability in every other aspect of her life. Vina is a devoted wife and a truly wonderful mother and a person of high integrity, responsibility, and reliability. She is someone you can trust implicitly to follow instructions and prioritize the well-being of those in her care. As a co-teacher, I witnessed Vina's patience, warmth, and gentle nature firsthand. She approaches her responsibilities with incredible dedication and kindness, qualities that transfer seamlessly to caring for others. Most importantly, Vina is a dedicated dog owner herself, and the way she cares for her own dog is proof of her gentle touch and genuine affection for animals. She understands the importance of routine, comfort, and love in a pet's life. Vina is organized, responsible, and possesses the nurturing instinct required to care for pets as if they were her own. Any pet parent would be lucky to have her!

Vina is so sweet. She always takes great care of Scarlett. She is mindful of the heat when walking or running her and is very gentle with her.
