Pet care experience

Work from Home, Fenced-in Yard :)

Hi! I'm Alfonso, and I'm here to make sure your pets get all the attention that they deserve! I'll see that your pets receive exclusive and high-quality care in 3 ways: 1. I work from home, so you can rest assured that your pet will always have company looking out for them, both inside the house, and supervised in a fenced-in backyard. 2. With no other pets, children, or other adults in the house, your pets will get my full attention! I'll also be sure only pets from a single family are cared for at a time. 3. Excercise! I'm a runner, and I'm happiest out on long walks (or runs!), so you can make sure they'll be entertained and stay healthy. I'm an experienced dog-sitter. I owned dogs, birds, and other pets most of my life. For the past 6 years, I've recurringly pet-sat for friends, coworkers, and neighbours, with pets of all species and sizes. I'll make sure your pet gets a balance of play, feeding, rest, and breaks based on what they are used to and on their schedule. Excited to meet your pets!

Alfonso was great with Stanley. This was his second time looking after Stanley who is a handful at times. He was great with communication, and pictures. He also advised he was eating his food great as we had to get a different one to due stock issues so we knew he was eating normal. He was great in communicating at the end of the stay how it went, and advised Stanley had a few instances where he was over protective with his toys, so we was aware ourselves. Stanley is looking forward to his next stay.

Alfonso was great with Stanley. With Stanley being super hyper for the first day on a visit I was nervous that he wouldnt calm down for a one day visit before he stays for a week next month. Alfonso reassured me he calmed down after a couple of hours and was really well behaved! Stanley loved his stay and can’t wait until he is back for a week in May!

Alfonso was great. His communication before and during our dogs’ stay with him was excellent. He kept our dogs safe, entertained and happy while we were on vacation and it was so nice knowing we didn’t have to worry about them. We got daily pictures and updates on their various adventures. We will definitely ask him to watch our dogs again! Thank you, Alfonso!

This was our second time that our two dogs stayed with Alfonso. His communication is second to none, always updating us everyday with photos. He is very attentive to both dogs, gave our 14 year old dog lots of meds during his stay. I wouldn’t ever think of having anybody but Alfonso watch any of my animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I am the sole member of my household. I do not have any pets and there are no children in the house - meaning your pet will receive all my attention at all times! I have a fenced-in backyard where pets may have outdoor time under direct supervision. I will be around at all times - making sure they have continuous access to water, food, and anything else they may require. I do not have kennels or other containment equipment - but open to you bringing your own, if it's what your pet is used to.

A typical day

Your dogs and I will go for plenty of walks, runs, and exploring the neighbourhood! Living in a quiet neighbourhood opposite a safe park, your pet will have access to plenty of fresh air.

I want to make sure I make the environment safe for your pet! Let me know if your pet has potentially unsafe quirks to look out for (eating plants, chewing on furniture), or if I need to be more careful in my walks (for health reasons, or because they are scared of other dogs, for example).
