Availability

I have a full time career which I work remotely. While this does allow me flexibility, I do prefer to take clients within 30 minutes of my home, and will need to be away for 4-5 hours each day to balance the care of pet clients and my pets at home. However, location and constant care can be negotiated based on your pets needs. Please note constant care rates are higher than my listed fees. Please reach out for details.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always do my best to adhere to your preferred accommodations for your furbaby. It is important to provide a safe and clean environment that will allow me to live comfortably within the home and ensure top quality care for your pet. This also means ensuring all required items are provided for the care of your furbaby. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

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 ☺️ These details will be discussed at length during meet and greets.

A typical day

I am able to provide much playtime with your dog either within home, 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 do my best to give them!

Pet care experience

*** Effective July 1, 2026, House Sitting requests will be available for repeat clients only. New clients will be considered upon referral*** 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.

Ysalys is a gem! My Birdie girl was in the best of hands in her care and I was able to be fully worry-free thanks to Ysalys. She’s the most attentive, trustworthy, responsible caretaker and sent the sweetest photos of Birdie, to boot. I can’t recommend Ysalys more highly, she’s the absolute best!
