Availability

As full time students at USF, we have flexible schedules that allow us to provide quality pet care throughout the week. Our classes are spaced out, which gives us time during mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, we are even more available for longer stays or extended visits. We plan our schedules around the pets we care for, making sure they always feel safe, seen, and attended to.

Information Alejandro & Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, we like to know their routine, temperament, and any special needs. Please let us know: We would love to make your furry companion feel the same as they do at home! - Feeding and potty schedule - Medical or behavioral concerns - Comfort items (blanket, toy, crate, bed) - How they react to other animals or people - Any quirks or habits we should know!

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks or walks, fresh water and breakfast, followed by playtime or a cuddle session depending on your pet’s personality. If we’re doing drop-ins or walks, we give your pet our full attention for that visit whether that is a long stroll and a nice long snuggle and rub! In the evenings, we provide dinner, another walk or bathroom break, and plenty of attention before bedtime. We love taking dogs on walks around local parks or the beach (if allowed), playing fetch, and working on basic training like sit, stay, or leash walking. For indoor pets, we bring their favorite toys and give them all the snuggles and stimulation they need. Cats enjoy playtime with teaser toys, window watching, and lots of gentle pets if they’re social.

Reliable & Attentive Pet Lovers

Pet care experience

Hi, we are Alejandro and Maria! Currently, we are students at the University of San Francisco and passionate animal lovers. Alejandro and I come from diverse backgrounds and cultures which provided us the opportunity to both grow up surrounded by pets like dogs, cats, and everything in between. Caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives. We have experience with all kinds of pets, including energetic puppies, mellow seniors, and even shy or nervous animals. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, daily medication, or just someone to keep them company, we are excited to meet pets and help when needed. When your pet is with us, we treat them like family. For cat parents: We understand that cats have their own unique personalities and needs. We are gentle, respectful of their space, and happy to provide calm, consistent care whether your cat is social or more independent.

Maria and Alejandro did an amazing job watching and caring for our dog, Kona. He was so happy after a week with them and they were very responsive and accommodating.

Maria and Alejandro were so great with Enzo! They were communicative and kept us updated with photos. Extremely flexible when our flights were delayed and gave Enzo the best place to stay.
