Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Belly Rub Giver
I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, including owning six dogs and two cats and fostering more than 50 pets. Fostering has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities and care needs, including puppies, seniors and pets who are sick or need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions and helping senior or special-needs pets with their daily routines. I also have experience reinforcing basic puppy and dog training, including commands, house-training routines and good manners. Most importantly, I’m patient and understand that every pet is different. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, older and needs a slower pace, or simply takes some time to warm up to new people, I’m happy to meet them where they are and care for them according to their normal routine. (PLEASE NOTE: I am not available most Friday evenings after 6pm or Saturdays during the day till 7pm.)

Yesenia, es una excelente cuidadora. Cuando salgo de vacaciones, me voy tranquila! Sabiendo que mis gastos están en perfectas manos. Mis gastos la adoren. Es bueno saber que hay alguien en confiar tus gatitos cuando no estás en casa. Gracias

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it in around a traditional workday. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, day care, boarding and overnight stays, and can easily accommodate different feeding, exercise and medication schedules. I’m also happy to keep pets on the routine they’re already comfortable with.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep every pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special needs, while giving each pet plenty of attention and affection at their own comfort level. I have a friendly, neutered 2-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Rocket, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable around another dog. I take introductions seriously and want both your pet and mine to feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of their space and routines and make sure owners receive regular photos and updates while they’re away.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet has their own idea of a perfect day, so I’m happy to follow their lead! For active pets, that might mean walks, playtime, fetch, enrichment games and plenty of outdoor time. For my professional couch potatoes, I’m equally qualified in belly rubs, snuggles and quality lounging. I also love giving pets one-on-one attention, practicing basic commands, providing enrichment and keeping them engaged throughout the day. Cats are welcome to join the fun—or supervise me judgmentally from a comfortable distance. Whatever your pet loves most, my goal is to keep their normal routine while making their time with me feel a little like their own mini vacation.

- Tell me anything that will help your pet feel happy and comfortable! I’d love to know their routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule and any quirks that make them them. Please share any medications, allergies, special needs, anxiety, triggers or behavioral concerns, as well as how they do around other animals and people. For boarding or day care, I’ll also need to know how they interact with other dogs since I have a friendly, neutered Mini Aussie named Rocket. Unfortunately, at this time I cannot board cats in my home. And don’t worry about oversharing—the more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like home!
