“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, so taking care of them has always felt really natural to me. At one point, we had around seven dogs at home, so I got used to being around all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. I’d treat your dog like I would my own and would make sure they’re happy and loved while they’re with me! I’m a D1 student-athlete at Rice, so I stay pretty active and already have a structured routine. Outside of classes and training, I have plenty of time to fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. My schedule can vary a little week to week, but I’m very organized and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, crate time, or any specific instructions you have.

About: Hello, I have dedicated the past four years to training and caring for my own service dog, gaining hands-on experience in advanced obedience, emotional support, and psychiatric service dog (PSD) training. My expertise goes beyond basic pet care—I specialize in helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions who provide meaningful support to their owners. I am currently building Peace Dogs, a program designed to empower individuals on their healing journey by guiding them in training their dogs as emotional support or psychiatric service dogs. Through this initiative, I work with dogs of all backgrounds, helping them develop the skills and temperament necessary to thrive in high-stimulation environments while maintaining a calm, supportive presence. What Sets Me Apart? ✔ Specialized Training – I have experience training emotional support and psychiatric service dogs, tailoring techniques to each dog’s personality and needs. ✔ Behavioral Expertise – Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or in need of structure, I adjust my approach to provide a safe and enriching experience. ✔ Premium, Personalized Care – I offer a high-touch, professional service that prioritizes your pet’s well-being, ensuring they receive top-tier care tailored to their routine. ✔ Balanced Socialization – My own trained service dog often accompanies me to sessions, providing a calm and structured socialization opportunity for dogs who would benefit from it. ✔ A Holistic Approach – I believe in the emotional and psychological well-being of both pets and their owners, ensuring each experience fosters growth and trust. With my expertise and commitment, I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer a tailored, enriching experience that helps your dog thrive. As a dedicated professional in canine care and training, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, high-quality attention to your pet. I work remotely and actively within my community, leading Peace Dogs—a specialized emotional support and psychiatric service dog school and community. My daily schedule is built around canine care, enrichment, and training, ensuring that your pet receives structured, attentive, and compassionate supervision. How My Schedule Benefits Your Dog: ✔ Consistent Availability – I have frequent availability throughout the week, making me an ideal choice for pet owners seeking a reliable, long-term care partner. ✔ Balanced Routine – With a schedule centered around training and care, your dog will enjoy a structured day filled with physical activity, mental stimulation, and relaxation. ✔ Priority Scheduling for Regular Clients – I am looking to build lasting relationships with discerning pet owners who want consistent, exceptional care for their dogs. By integrating your pet into my well-established routine, I ensure they experience a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment—one designed to support their well-being at the highest level. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I provide an exclusive, structured, and stress-free environment designed for discerning pet owners who expect only the best care. Premium Safety & Care Standards: ✔ Personalized Supervision – I provide individualized attention, ensuring your dog is never left unsupervised in unfamiliar settings. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a calm, structured atmosphere that promotes well-being. ✔ Tailored Home & Travel Safety – I follow your pet’s routines precisely, whether that means securing their space, using their preferred walking gear, or accommodating any special needs. I ensure safe and controlled outings, avoiding overstimulating environments unless requested. ✔ Handling & Training Expertise – With experience in training emotional support dogs and psychiatric service dogs (PSD), I understand the importance of reinforcing calm, confident behaviors. I specialize in working with dogs who require extra emotional support, structured guidance, and advanced handling techniques. ✔ Clean, Private, and Low-Stress Environment – Whether in my home or yours, I create a serene, distraction-free setting. My space is free from overwhelming noise, and I use natural calming aids like aromatherapy, soft music, and structured schedules to provide a sense of security. ✔ VIP-Level Health & Hygiene Protocols – I maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, ensuring fresh bedding, sanitized bowls, and premium grooming care for your dog. If your pet has special dietary needs or medication requirements, I manage them with precision and care. ✔ Your Dog, Your Rules – Every pet is unique, and I follow your instructions meticulously, from dietary guidelines to exercise preferences. Whether your dog requires a hands-off approach, a structured training routine, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. Your beloved companion will be cared for with the same attention, love, and structured guidance as my own precious dog—always with your best interests in mind.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of family and friends for over 10 years. Just like humans dogs are all different I always like to check with the owner the expectations set in place while babysitting. I will also take lots of photos 🥰. I love to capture photos of furry friends I recently transitioned to evening shifts. If weather permits I take my dog to the doggie park every morning and would like more doggie friends to join. I have a fenced back yard and a camera. I also have my Minnie doxie that will keep company if needed. There’s a designated area for furry friends.

This is my second time booking Rebecca and she's truly the best! She's really great with my cats and it's a relief to not constantly worry about them while we were away on vacation. Even my one cat who is very shy seems to have warmed up to her this time around. I feel like Rebecca really goes out of her way to make sure my babies are cared for, even cleaning out their litter boxes. She sends lots of pictures and communicative if she has any questions. I'll continue to book with Rebecca for as long as she'll have us.

We’re so happy we found Nathalie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our kitten, but Nathalie made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She went above and beyond to take care of him, making sure he was fed, helping us clean his eyes, and giving him lots of care and attention. She also shared so many photos and videos with us, which meant a lot and made us feel connected to him while we were away. It was so sweet to see him doing well and know he was in such caring hands. We’re truly grateful to Nathalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets. We would love to book with her again! :)
