Can't Wait to Meet Your Dog!
Pet care experience
I originally became inspired to become a pet sitter because I always looked for alternative places for my pup to stay when I traveled. It's important to me that my pet is properly taken care of and want to provide other dog owners with the same quality service! I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible! I currently have one dog of my own, an eleven-year-old Lhasa Apso named Bailey. She’s my best friend! I also lived with two bulldog puppies for two years and was their secondary caregiver, so I do have experience with very young dogs. In addition to dog sitting for friends and family, I have also volunteered at the SPCA, where I learned some extra things about proper puppy maintenance! I do like to schedule meet-and-greets for all new clients. It gives me a good opportunity to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, and for me to get some information on your pup and your expectations for the stay. I would have a treat (provided that the owner is okay with it) to make sure that your pup and I became fast friends. I prefer small to medium sized dogs, but will work with large dogs too. During a stay, I am fully committed to making sure that you and your pup feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I have very high standards for proper puppy care, as I’m sure you do as well! Following those rules with a friendly attitude, going above and beyond expectations, and showing the utmost respect to the owner, their property and (most importantly!) their dog will go a long way to ensure excellent customer service.
Reviews
Armando is great with giving updates on the fur babies, and he's very thorough with his care for them! Definitely recommended!
He’s great with animals! Highly recommended.
Armando is a wonderful pet sitter who has an obvious love for animals and children. What I appreciate most is his attentiveness and reliability even on short notice. We've called him for short visits during the day and weeklong vacations. I really appreciate that he goes the extra mile to play with my two-year old son and making our dog, Millie, happy; both are always delighted to see him.
Armando is great with dogs. My little dog Dixie loves him and he is always happy to play with her. He is always happy, enthusiastic and a charismatic person. I would definitely recommend Armando's services as a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a small apartment good enough for smaller pups and cats, but there are parks and walking trails nearby to ensure your pup gets plenty of exercise. I can also crate your dog if preferred.
Information Armando M. would like to know about your pet
Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
I love to stay active, so we would head out for plenty of exercise. I would love to take your pup out on a long run or a maybe a bike ride while they run next to me. In the mornings, we would head out for an early morning walk before breakfast. During the day, I’d limit my away time to a maximum of two hours (based on the errands I had to run), and we’d make sure to get some playtime and exercise in, perhaps at the local dog park. If your pup is friendly with dogs, I’ll bring Bailey along for some extra company. I always like exploring some of the natural scenes around me! The local nature preserves in Plano, Allen, and Dallas have interesting and exciting dog-friendly trails. There are some paved trails in the parks nearby that are pretty cool too and don't have that much traffic.
