Availability

I currently have a full time work from home job. While this does allow me flexibility, I do prefer to keep to the listed availability. However, am willing to negotiate outside of that depending on your pet needs and distance from my home. I currently am able to pop in multiple times in the day for visits, walks, and feedings to homes within 10 minutes of my location.

I have a small dog park in my complex and a much bigger park couple miles down the road from me. This has allowed me to take my own dog in multiple walks and play visits, but also my neighbors dogs when I am asked to help walk them. I will always do my best to adhere to your preferred accomodations to your furbaby.

Information Ysalys K. would like to know about your pet

I want to be able to provide the highest quality of care to your furbaby, so please be sure to communicate all of their care needs ahead of time so I can step in as that new favorite Auntie ☺️

A typical day

I am able to provide much playtime with your dog either with in home play, visit to the park, or extra long walks. If your baby prefers to be lazy and accepts only cuddles, I am more than excited to snuggle up with them under a cozy blanket for good naps. Anything they like to do or need I will doy best to give them!

Pet care experience

I was born with a deep love and connection to animals. I understand more than anyone that they aren't just pets. They are our family members, best friends, and true loves. The companionship and unconditional love they're willing to give us is one of the greatest gifts, we as humans, could ever know. I have raised cats and dogs since I was child. 18 total animals if I include the birds, snake, hamster, and turtles through the years. I can take care of all furbabies big and small. I am very comfortable with large dogs having raised a Rottweiler and Black Lab, to taking care of my friends/neighbors Great Dane and Huskies. I also currently have my own Pitbull/Staffordshire mix. I have experience with in home sitting for multiple pets and boarding in my own home. You can count on me to keep to desired feeding and walking schedules, and of course to provide much needed love and cuddles. I have experience with taking care of senior pets and their specialized needs, specifically with senior cats. I can help administer medicine to your pups, including use of a inhaler as well. Any additional questions, please reach out! I am happy to answer any question.
