Pet care experience

Large Yard for Play 🐾

Hi! I’m Antonio, and I’ve had dogs for all 29 years of my life. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve always loved. My best friend is Boss, my 6-year-old Pit Bull. Raising him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m returning to Rover after taking a few years away, and this time my goal is different. I’m building a professional pet care business that I plan to grow into my full-time career. That means every booking matters, and every dog in my care is treated like family. My home offers plenty of space for dogs to feel comfortable, and I have a large yard where they can safely enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your pup is here for daycare, overnight boarding, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a priority. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having a great time. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

Our first time ever using Rover and a dog sitter in general, but Antonio made our experience amazing. I can honestly say my dog was a challenge, but Antonio accepted it with ease. I truly appreciated his services & you will too!

Antonio did a great job watching my spoiled fur baby Aries. I would definitely hire him again.

Antonio did a great job with my 6 month old lab puppy, who still has potty accidents! I really appreciate him being available during the Memorial Day holiday especially since I desperately needed a dog sitter. He met me in advance of my puppy's stay to do a meet and greet with my puppy! He also sent me pictures and videos throughout my puppy's stay which helped me feel comfortable about how my puppy was doing. I will definitely recommend using Antonio for dog sitting because he is a natural dog lover!!!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. My mornings begin after I drop my son off at preschool, giving me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention. In the afternoons, I’m away for about two hours while coaching football nearby, but I’m less than 10 minutes from home and plan my schedule to ensure every dog is comfortable and well cared for before and after practice. My evenings are dedicated to spending time with the dogs in my care, making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and a consistent routine. I take pet care seriously and make it a priority every day.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide every dog with the same level of care and attention that I give my own dog, Boss. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax indoors and enjoy supervised time in my large yard. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean environment, lots of attention, and a safe, comfortable place to rest. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I monitor interactions carefully to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. For drop-in visits and walks, I respect my clients’ homes while making sure their pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and companionship they need. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and personality. We may enjoy walks around the neighborhood, supervised playtime in my large yard, games of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply relaxing together with plenty of affection and belly rubs. I also enjoy helping dogs stay mentally engaged with toys and interactive play. My goal is to make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while making their stay fun, safe, and stress-free. I’ll also send photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their time with me.

Before every booking, I’d like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality. Please let me know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, medications, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of, such as anxiety, resource guarding, or how they interact with other dogs and people. I also appreciate knowing their favorite toys, treats, and any commands they respond to. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience while they’re in my care.
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.
