Information Alberto Q. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time we need to schedule a meet and greet so I can get to meet you and your pet. Also, I can answer any questions or concerns you may have about the upcoming stay or visit. And finally, that I have your trust in allowing us to care for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day would be short walks in the neighborhood, backyard play, feedings, and treats. (Always following any diet restrictions or activities your pet may have.) "Siestas" naps during those warm summer afternoons; and taking and sending lots of pictures.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Alberto; I have several years of dog sitting experience; fostering for Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue and volunteering at the Lakeland SPCA. I was previously a volunteer for Cornerstone Hospice (Pet Peace of Mind) providing assistance with their client's pets at home. I offer dog sitting services in my home, drop-in visits at your home and dog walking. While I am hosting your pet at my home I will provide short walks, administer medications as prescribed and feedings per schedule. I have a fence backyard to provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs in my home will enjoy a family environment and won’t be alone. My dog is very social and loves the company of other dogs. I completed a training by the SPCA in Lakeland on dog behavior. I am also an off site adoption counselor for Lakeland SPCA and selected volunteer of the year for 2014. Yo Hablo Espanol.

Al is the best! We were so happy with how he took care of our shy cat, Yuri. He kept us informed and was especially helpful when our AC went out. We literally had no worries about Yuri while we are out of town! We will definitely be using him in the future!

I always have peace of mind when Alberto watches my fur babies! He is very professional, prompt and gives lots of affection and attention! My dogs really love him and I feel great knowing he is extremely experienced with all types of dogs, very respectful of my home and truly loves what he does. I highly recommend his services, he is the best!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
