Safety, trust & environment
Being a mom of a reactive chihuahua mix, as well as being a dog walker for dogs with different sizes, needs and temperaments, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy dog walker for your pup. Safety always comes first, which is why I will ALWAYS avoid other dogs on our walks and ESPECIALLY dog parks! If there are any special training instructions you would like me to keep up with on our walks, let me know about that as well! I am also a cat mom of five and I understand that cat care is not one-size-fits-all. I will be sure to tailor each visit to your cat's needs!
Information Yara S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any special needs or behaviors ahead of time. Meet and greets before I take on a new dog are required for this purpose!
A typical day
Mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise for your pup. I love taking dogs out on "sniffing safaris" where they can lead the walk and sniff whatever they want, for as long as they want-- as long as it's safe. This will make for a much more satisfied pup at the end of our session!

Pets
Pet care is my passion!
Pet care experience
As a passionate animal care professional, kitty foster, and pet mom, I know how hard it is to find a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. From rowdy puppies to grouchy senior kitties, I have seen it all! Due to my extensive experience in animal care, I am proficient in administering medications, including: injections, oral medications, pills, ear drops, and eye drops. I am capable of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Please note that I do NOT feel comfortable using aversive tools such as prong collars or shock collars. Any items that inflict pain on an animal go against my values as an animal welfare professional.

Reviews
Yara took great care of Roxanne and sent the perfect amount of updates. Would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable dog sitter!
Terrific job, and took great care of our boys.
Yara was very communicative and helpful. Greatly appreciated her help with my cats! Thanks! 😊
Yara took fantastic care of my two cats while I was out of town for a few days! I always received detailed updates each day, and the cutest pictures. She spent time playing with them, and I came home to two very happy kitties. I highly recommend Yara, I will definitely reach out the next time I need a sitter! Thank you so much again, Yanni and Juno adored you!!
