Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Communicative, Pet Lover
I started taking care of dogs when I was 12. I've taken care of Huskies, Goldens, German Shepherds, and rescue dogs and cats for family and friends. I also fostered rescue dogs 2020-21 during the pandemic. I understand how sensitive dogs can be to change so it's always a priority to make them feel comfortable, welcomed and loved. In terms of training dogs, I understand that they need consistency and a routine so they can thrive in their daily lives. I love taking dogs on long walks (15-20 minutes in the morning, ~45 minutes at night, so they can take care of their needs and be have fun. When I walk them I keep them active, but also let them sniff around so their minds are stimulated.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment so I walk my dog in the morning and evening. I usually take them to parks so they can explore around and if they feel comfortable, say hi to friends around, and be active. We have food after our walk and get some treats. Late at night we play at home so we can have the zoomies and relax a bit before bed time. We tried not to have loud noises or lots of stimulation at home so our friends feel safe and comfortable. Also, we love cuddles if our furry friends feel comfortable with it. Otherwise, we let them have company and their own space. Our dog Pete is friendly, so he'll make good company to our new friends.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent care of our dog and home as always!
Great and reliable as always!
Armando and Juan Pablo took great care of our two cats! They took care of an accident that was made outside the litter box, tossed some plants that taken apart by the cats, and helped take out the trash. They were communicative and responsive. Anyone would be lucky to have them drop in for one or more of their cats.
Armando is a very attentive and communicative sitter! This is our second time having him look after our very shy cat, and although he hid from Armando during most visits he had no signs of stress and we came home to a happy, healthy, and relaxed boy! I would happily book again and recommend Armando to anyone!
Armando did a great job checking in on my kitty. I received updates daily and he was always very responsive. I would not hesitate to rebook his services.
Armando treated my cat well and respected their space while making sure my cat didn’t freak out.

Schedule
I work from home so I'm able to pay close attention to dogs at home. At home I play with my dog twice a day so they feel loved and entertained. I take my Puggle on generous walks twice a day and adjust to their pace so they can be active and explore all the interesting smells around. We love giving treats but are also aware of different diets.
