Availability

Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, as I organize my activities to be present and attentive throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to supervise, play with, and attend to the needs of each pet. I adapt to their feeding, walking, and rest schedules so they feel comfortable and relaxed during their stay.

Information Armando C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, allergies, medications, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of. I want to make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m happy to work with different personalities and routines as long as communication is clear and the pet is friendly and manageable in a home environment.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally engaged throughout the day. A typical day includes walks around the neighborhood, playtime, potty breaks, cuddle and rest time, and lots of attention. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we may also visit nearby parks or enjoy relaxing indoor time with toys and treats. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they are in my care.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. I own a small dog myself and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone responsible and attentive. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment, respecting routines, feeding schedules, and walks. I always observe the dogs' body language and act with patience and care. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.

Armando was incredible to work with. He really came through for me in a pinch and gave me complete peace of mind the entire time. Super reliable and attentive, and just easy to coordinate with from start to finish. He was flexible with logistics, quick to communicate, and clearly cared about doing a great job. De verdad, I couldn’t have asked for someone better. 10/5 stars.

Armando was so accommodating! He took great care of our pup and he was exhausted after (which is exactly what we were looking for!) highly recommend

We are staying at an AirBB far from home, and needed to be away for much of the day. Armando was not only (seamlessly) available on very short notice, I sent the request (hesitantly- so early!) at 6:45a and he responded by 7:15. He took excellent care of our girl, and really went above and beyond for her care! Thank you so much Armando! Very worth the $20. tip!

I can’t write enough great things about Armando—Armando truly went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, Armando was incredibly helpful and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Armando even helped me book the correct appointment when I booked the wrong one, which I really appreciated. Armando was punctual, professional, and very communicative throughout the entire experience. Armando kept me updated and sent plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about the dogs Armando works with. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved Armando! You can tell a lot about a person by how animals respond to them, and my dog was happy, comfortable, and excited to be with Armando. That alone communicated how wonderful Armando is. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and responsible but also so kind and attentive. Armando exceeded all expectations, and I would 100% recommend Armando to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with Armando again!
