Big backyard - someone always home

Pet care experience

I've lived with dogs my entire life. I grew up on a ranch in Mexico and basically lived outside with my Siberian Husky, Blacky. In addition, my grandma kept a small Chihuahua indoors named, Toby. My parents used to breed AKC certified Yorky Terriers, and we still have a male and female, Kobe and Mia, at their house. I'm very used to being around and caring for both large and small breeds. I have dealt with doggy issues ranging from strokes to birth. I have a great sense of reading temperments and can adjust my care accordingly. Your dog would not be safer in any other hands. I am responsible young adult currently working with the local Congressman, with a love for dogs. I maintain an active lifestyle practicing both tennis and jiu-jitsu. I do work a 9am-5pm office job, but live close enough to the office to easily take breaks and check up on the puppers.

It was a pleasure leaving our two dogs with Armando for 4 days. He is friendly and very accommodating. Armando made the drop off and pick up extremely smooth and was very flexible. He sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. We're still amazed how he was able to get them to sit still and pose ? We would definitely leave our dogs with him again.

Armando watched our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and he was awesome! We couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitter and we will definitely be calling him again. His girlfriend, Jacqueline, is also a doll and helped with our dogs as well. I am so happy we found them! He was very accommodating and made it so convenient for us. Thanks again Armando and Jacqueline!

Armando is so gentle and loving with dogs. He is a dog whisperer to say the least!! He knows how to respond to situations of emergency with such ease and composure, I wouldn't trust many people with my pet the way I trust him. 10/10 would recommend!!

Information Armando R. would like to know about your pet

The only thing I would prefer is if your dog is potty trained and doggy door trained, but neither are required. I've dealt with both before.

A typical day

I can walk or run active dogs, I have a collection of old tennis balls for fetch, and there's nothing more relaxing than lounging and catching up on Netflix shows with a doggy friend.
