About: Since I was a kid, I have always loved pets. When I was 11 years old, I was the one who fed our four dogs. I loved spending time with them—I even taught them how to sit, lie down, give a high five, and more. Every time I came home from school, we would play together. Back in 2020, I rescued my deaf cat, Lili, after seeing her attacked by a stray dog in our town. She even had a broken bone, and I couldn’t just leave her like that, so I decided to adopt her. As time passed, I didn’t realize that my cat family was growing. Now, I have rescued 2 cats and i have been feeding 13 stray cats that goes in our backyard It’s just sad that I had to leave them with my dad in our home country because I had to move to the United States. We have 3 dogs, 2 indoor cats, 1 stray dog and 13 stray cats that i have been feeding. I am not currently working because I’m still looking for a job, so I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule that i could spend with your pets Right now, we don’t have any pets at home, but I always leave cat food outside our door in case a stray cat passes by, so they can have something to eat. I can walk, play with, teach tricks, and even bathe your pets if you'd like!

I have trained multiple dogs to learn basic commands and signals with treats and positive reinforcements.

Zoey is absolutely amazing! She comes to my home twice a week to walk my dog, Benicio, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She is always on time, dependable, attentive, and incredibly friendly. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Benicio and treats him with so much love and patience. Most importantly, Benicio absolutely loves her! He gets so excited to see her, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands when I’m not home. Zoey is trustworthy, professional, and goes above and beyond to make sure Benicio gets a great walk and plenty of attention. I highly recommend Zoey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and wonderful dog walker. We’re so lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️
Zen is a pet whisperer! My two active cattle dogs were super relaxed post-walk, so I know that Zen was a calming presence and helped them get their move on! I have already booked Zen for another walk and plan to book Zen several times a month when work pulls me away from home.
Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!
Sydney was an absolute trooper getting the harness on my dog. Penny was very skittish about someone else putting it on her, but they were super patient and had a successful walk! They also paid great attention to the house alarm system/lock and had no issues with following directions. Would highly recommend for their calm, patient, and caring attitude!
