Highlights
Pet care experience
Only your pet and full-time care
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ve loved dogs since I was 10, and I’ve continued building my experience in pet care ever since. As a blind service-dog handler since 2018, I’ve developed a strong understanding of attentive, consistent, and specialized animal care. I’m patient, observant, and committed to learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I specialize in house sitting and offer full-time, 24-hour companionship in your home, with only rare, short exceptions of up to about two hours. This allows your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving plenty of attention and care. I’m also experienced with dog walking and drop-in visits and can care for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including young, playful dogs and seniors who may need extra patience and attention. Safety With My Service Dog My trained service dog accompanies me to services and meet-and-greets. Before caring for your pet, we’ll discuss their personality, routine, and comfort level around other animals. For off-leash interactions, I use careful safety practices to prevent collar or leash entanglement. During walks, your dog will remain securely leashed and collared or harnessed using your equipment. I also bring the necessary equipment for my service dog, including a crate or playpen, so the dogs can be safely separated whenever needed. My goal is to give your pets loving, dependable care while giving you peace of mind that they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide attentive, individualized care and take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs before beginning each service. My trained service dog accompanies me to services and meet-and-greets. She is well behaved around other animals, and I carefully consider each pet’s comfort level and behavior when introducing them. For dogs who are comfortable interacting with my service dog, I use appropriate safety precautions during play and off-leash time to help prevent accidental entanglement. During walks, your dog will always be securely leashed and wearing their collar or harness using your equipment. If your pet is uncomfortable around my service dog or simply prefers their own space, I have a crate and playpen available for my service dog so the pets can be safely and comfortably separated when needed. Before each service, we’ll discuss your pet’s routine, temperament, interactions with other animals, and any special instructions. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet can feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

Yaritza was nice enough to help take care of a friend’s dog for me while I had to travel. She walked, fed, and spent time with Roo for several days. It went really smooth and really appreciated her help. I would recommend her

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule because professional pet care is my work, which allows me to dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. When I’m caring for your pet, they will be my primary focus. I do not take on multiple clients at the same time, so your pet receives individualized attention, companionship, and care throughout their stay. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, and other daily needs. I’m happy to work with you to maintain the schedule your pet is most comfortable with while you’re away.
