Availability

I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand!

Information Violeta L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is on a special diet, or has dietary restrictions; if they are leash aggressive( I cannot care for reactive dogs or any dog over 40lbs due to my back injury); pleas tell me how well do they listen to commands off leash (very important for park trips). Also please let me know if any past trauma exist (loud noises, people, children, etc) or any mobility issues (bad knees, injuries, etc) so I can best care for them.

A typical day

I enjoy taking your dogs for walks in the park, or to Frenchy’s or Ashbaugh Park. I enjoy playing fetch with high energy dogs and any other activities with the chiller energy ones. Depending on their diet, take them for a doggy treat after a good walk or play session (ice cream, cookies,etc). I really enjoy giving full body rubs and scratches to all the good doggos that I take care of and they seem to always enjoy themselves.

Pet care experience

I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification

We love Violeta, she has been walking my dogs regularly - taking very good care of my rescue pup who came with some behavioral issues. She is great with communication and very dependable.

Violeta was great to work with. She walked one of my dogs so I had time to train another and was responsible, kind, and communicative. If I were not temporarily relocating, I definitely would have continued working with her!

I feel like I hit the jackpot with Violet! She was so professional and gave top notch care to my senior pets. I enjoyed getting updates and pics throughout her stay.
