Pet care experience
When I’m not jet setting around the globe, I try to live by the “when you’re home, you’re home” mantra. This means investing my time in friends, family, and the animals I’m caring for. We’ll go on lots and lots of walks and play in plenty of dog parks in our time together. And because it’s Portland, we’re sure to have some rainy days, which we’ll use to play inside and snuggle up for TV time. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog soon, please feel free to contact me anytime. Usually I will work nights with weekends and most days off. I work at DoveLewis Animal Hospital so I have lots of experience with all types of pets large and small young and old calm and feisty. :)
Reviews
Fernando was great with my dog, Jack. He was easy to communicate with and has an obvious love for dogs. Will definitely book again!
Kona loved staying with Fernando! He kept us at ease by sending a few photos of Kona. We will definitely ask him to take care of Kona again!
Many of you out there just like me consider their dogs a part of your family. Well my baby is a 3 year old corgi named Baylee. When my father passed away I was in a deep depression and my therapist recommended adopting a pet to help my mind stay busy. I could not be more thankful for that advice because I received a best friend and companion in the shape of a four legged creature. True to form Baylee has become more then just a dog to me, therefore I am very skeptical of where/ who I let me pup stay with. Unfortunately I accepted a job where I do a lot of traveling and I could tell me being away has left Baylee sad. I was defeated and even to the point of looking for a new job. Thats when Fernando came into my life. Right away Baylee seemed comfortable at his place. I was very pleased with how clean and well kept his place was and not only that but Baylee genuinely seemed happier. I started off with short visits but now when I leave for work I trust Baylee with Fernando the whole time. He sends me pictures of her, plays with Baylee and truly cares for her well being. I couldn't be happier and completely stress free with the situation we have! Forever grateful Thank you thank you thank you Fernando! Baylee loves you too!

Information Fernando N. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay, I like to learn a little more about your pup. Let me know their normal routine and favorite activities! Is your pup a walker or runner? What about a dog park fan or couch hugger? I can accommodate any and all personalities! Additionally, knowing if your pup has medical issues or behavioral tendencies is important for me to note!
A typical day
On a stay with me, your pup will have fun! I live right in the heart of the Slabtown neighborhood in NW Portland so its a perfect spot for walking and running with your pup. I also love walking around the Pearl, which is great for puppy sniffs and exploration. You can plan on your pup having plenty of exercise and play time both in and out of the home! When your pup is tuckered out or if your dog needs to be relaxed throughout the day, we’ll cuddle up on the couch for some TV time! Whatever your pup needs, I’ll be happy to provide!
