About: I've had pets all my life, primarily dogs. I've been the loving human for a 15-year-old Chiweenie -- my chill, fur daughter, Coco -- since she was a pup. I've also cared for pets and house sat for several friends and family over the years. With so many years of pet parenting behind me, I'll approach caring for your dog as if they were my own. I live quite an active lifestyle, so I'm happy to take your dog for long walks or jogs, depending on your dog's ability and your preferences. I can also just visit and pay them as much attention as they need. I enjoy travel with purpose, so I can house sit and/or care for your pet while I'm visiting your area. Just let me know your unique situation and requirements. I'll do my best to cater your pet care experience to fit all your needs! I can arrange time to care for your pets during the day, evening or on weekends, depending on what I have going on. My schedule varies day to day, so connect with me and we can find something that works! I like to get the full run down of your dog's needs, temperament, eating habits, favorite activities and toys, potty schedule, physical limitations and anything else you think will help me provide the best care for your pet. I also think it would be a good idea for your dog to meet me in person for an initial intro if that fits into your time frame.

You can tell right away that Belinda is an animal lover and wants to know your pet’s unique preferences and personality.
