About: I have a deep love and respect for every pet I care for. I adopted a sick puppy, and through patience and nurturing, he has blossomed into a beloved member of my family. This experience has taught me the profound bond that can develop between a pet and their caregiver, highlighting the importance of kindness and understanding in every interaction. I’ve also gained experience by showing care and compassion to animals in need around me, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Each animal has its own unique personality and needs, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for them all. My commitment to treating every pet with compassion ensures they feel loved and secure while in my care. I work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily routine seamlessly. This allows me plenty of time to spend with furry friends, playing, cuddling, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule enables me to provide a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all else. I follow their food schedule diligently to ensure they maintain a healthy routine. Engaging with pets through playtime and interactive activities is essential, as it keeps them stimulated and happy. Since I do not have pets of my own, I can provide a safe and distraction-free environment for them. Living in an apartment allows me to easily take them for walks outside in green areas, where they can explore and enjoy some fresh air. If needed, I can safely crate pets to provide them with a secure space to relax. My home is a welcoming environment filled with love and attention, ensuring every pet feels safe and at ease. Building trust is key, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality and needs, creating a positive experience for both them and their owners.
About: I do not have professional experience with pets but I have my own dog so I personally know the love and care that they need. I was in charge of training her and making sure she was potty trained as well as socialized I can work mostly any time from Monday -Thursday and during the day on Friday and Saturday ! I do have a job on the weekend but it is in the evening In my home I have a front and back yard with grass so the babies can run around as well there is a park a 3 minute drive away from the home to make sure they are able to play and run out their energy. Since I have my dog with me they would have a companion to be with. With my clients home I would make sure to run everything by them and their boundaries
“Boarding with Jailene was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated daily with pictures and how our pup was doing. She took care of our pup so well, gave her toys to play with, treats and lots of love. 5 stars for sure. We’ll be booking with her again of we need booking for our girl.”
“My pups had a 1night stay with Vicky & I can tell had a blast! Huge backyard for playing and lots of cuddles on the couch. Thank you so much for the constant pics and updates !! Thank you Vicky!!”
“Sofía did an amazing job with our puppy. It wasn’t easy having to leave our 3 month old puppy but once we met Sofia she reassured us by her warm welcome at drop off. She sent many photos and videos throughout our puppy’s stay. It gave us peace of mind seeing him playing with Sofia. We’ll definitely book her again!”
“Christopher was an amazing boarder! I never had to ask for updates because I received them so regularly. I also noticed my senior dog easily relaxed in the car and at home when I picked him up, meaning he didn’t have to calm down or adjust from any nervousness. Will definitely use Christopher for any future stays!”

Kristina B.
“Kristina kept my puppy while I was out of the country and it made me feel at ease to know that she was taken care of. She is amazing with my Dutchess!!”
Stacy R.
“To whom it may concern. Stacy Rios use to be my pet sitter part time when we were roommates. Working two jobs it’s difficult taking care of my dog but thanks to Stacy my dog remained engaged with other animals as she would take her out to dog parks and make sure she was socialized. As someone who has her own pet Stacy takes great care of other peoples animals and is always willing to go the extra mile for the fur babies. She doesn’t see them as some else pet but treats them as her own.”
