Pet care experience

Welcome to your dog’s new private oasis away from home, with spectacular views overlooking swan canyon. This doggy retreat is located at a large house that has free access to a big fenced back yard with plenty of space to run, play, or relax. We have A/C inside the house, so the dogs always have a cool play to hang out in this blistering summer heat. Four dog beds are spread throughout the house and two outside, as well as a large crate inside. There are plenty of toys scattered throughout the house and backyard. I was born and raised with big dogs including Chows, Rottweilers, German Shepard, and Pitbulls. I have decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I rescued my dog Captain (11y.o.) after he tore his ACL and his prior owner was no longer able to care for him. We quickly bonded after carrying him up and down stairs for the bathroom multiple times a day for a few months while he recovered from surgery. I rescued my other dog Cleopatra (1.5y.o.) after she was abandoned and returned by 3 prior owners because of her high energy. Let’s just say big or small, young or old, calm or energetic, healthy or medically needy… I’ve got you covered. 👍🏽 My full-time work from home schedule is perfect for plenty of time to play with the dogs; keep an eye on puppies teething or potty training; send you numerous updates of videos and photos; and, ensure your dog is living their best life!

Antonio is phenomenal!! Louis had an absolute blast with the other pups and Antonio during his vacation. We were a little nervous beforehand because we hadn’t left Louis with a dog sitter for so long before, but Antonio immediately put us at ease, met us beforehand to make sure Louis (and we) felt comfortable, and then sent us as many updates as we could have hoped for. He clearly has a deep understanding and appreciation for dogs, and Louis came back happy and healthy as can be. We will absolutely be looking for Antonio’s help again in the future and would recommend him to anyone!

Antonio provided exceptional care for my Doberman while I was out of the country. He kept me updated every single day, which gave me total peace of mind. If you own a large breed, Antonio is the person you want. Highly recommended!
