Experienced, flexible dog lovers
Pet care experience
About us: We are a married couple that loves dogs. We both believe that dogs make our life better in so many ways that the least we can do is to give them the proper care and love they deserve. We both have a lot of flexibility on our schedule which allows us to dedicate all our attention to your pet. Mary has had pets all her life, and she has learned a lot specifically about golden retrievers' care. Alberto is a vet student and he basically grew up in his uncle's vet clinic, so dealing with animals is second nature for him. Studying canine behavior is his life's passion. How this works: We'd like to have a 30 minute conversation with the owner before, so we can get to know each other. It's important for you to feel comfortable with the person who'd be caring for your pet in your absence, and is important for us to know every detail about your dog and your relationship so we can emulate as good as we can your interactions. We believe this to be really important for your dog's comfort. We want to understand your dog's needs. We live in a large two-bedroom apartment. We try to meditate every day to keep a sense of calm in our household, which is important for the wellbeing of dogs since they are really sensitive to our emotions. Our neighborhood is quiet, so there are never any high-pitched or loud noises for your dog to worry about. We live close to Cheeseman Park so if walking in the park is something that your dog is interested in, we can make it happen! We believe that dogs are always happier when in a pack. As we have space, we can take care of up to 4 dogs at a time. Services offered: - Walks (suited to breed, energy level, and other specific needs of your dog) - Runs (If your dog has a lot of energy or needs to lose weight, this is an option for you) - Live streaming video, recorded, or pictures as often as you want. This way you can see what your best friend is doing. (This applies to all of the services) - Boarding - Massages (Different from normal cuddling. With this approach your dog will feel more relaxed. It's really good for improving blood flow, and overall health. It depends on your dog's breed, energy level, and special conditions) - Sitting - Behavioral assessment (Alberto is also a dog trainer, so I can help with any concerns you may have regarding misbehavior if you are interested) - Basic commands training
Reviews
Alberto was an amazing sitter for us. We had a VERY young puppy and had to get out of town for a few days. He was super attentive to all of the requests we made and even trained him a little bit! Will absolutely rebook whenever we need help. Thank you Alberto!
Our dogs went straight to up to Alberto to say hello, and they are poodles with very high standards. So that’s all we needed to know. It was great to have someone we could trust to look after our pups in the hotel while we had a work function. Alberto is now on our favorites list. You can trust Alberto, he is very passionate and caring towards dogs, and the dogs know this.
Sadie had a great stay with Alberto and his wife. They sent me updates and I know she was well cared for because they described her sweet and easy going personality in the messages. In these uncertain times, you can be assured that your dog will be in good hands with Alberto.
Alberto & Mary did so well. Our puppy had a great time and was taken care of.

The three of us, Mary, Alberto, and Naga (a 3 year old shepherd mix) live in a two-bedroom apartment. At the time we're only taking care of existing clients or new clients that are less than 20lbs because of building limitations. We're mostly offering house sitting at the moment due to this. We'll meet beforehand so we can learn the best way to take care of your four pawed fried. There's just not one-size-fits-all approach when taking care of pets, and that's why we take time to learn your way and try to replicate it.

Information Alberto M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. While yes, dogs are bred for different things, no breed is inherently aggressive or dangerous. Before being a breed, they are dogs, and it's our mission to respect that. We will work in order to fulfill the needs of your dog first, and then the needs of her or his breed (as per your recommendations).
A typical day
Our schedule is very flexible, so if you are interested, we would take the dogs on extended visits to parks, plazas, etc. where they can experience the fresh air, company of other dogs, the sun that they really love and some play time with the toy of their choice (everything as per your recommendations) .

Mary works from home so she has flexibility. Taking care of animals is Alberto's full time job. He also teaches Spanish as a side hustle, but he mainly does it remotely so he can always be around.
