I'm a master's degree candidate, and when I need a break from studying, I enjoy going on walks to clear my mind and relax. I'm active on the weekends, whether it's spending time outdoors or taking care of a pet. I love being surrounded by four-legged friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a first-floor apartment with a terrace that opens to a peaceful back patio. While I don’t have pets at home, your dog will enjoy a warm, comfortable space indoors. I understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I respect their schedules for outdoor time, whether it's for play, walks, or bathroom breaks. I ensure they feel calm and relaxed inside while also spending quality time outside, helping them stay happy and content. I’m skilled at taking walks in quiet areas, avoiding crowded spots, and making sure your dog feels secure and enjoys a peaceful stroll.

Information Arturo R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to learn as much as you can about a pet, such as what their daily routine looks like, what toys they like to play with, what food they can and can’t eat and if they have any special care requirements, before providing care. Their individual temperament and any particular behavioral quirks help me to deliver the best care and ensure they are feeling at ease and safe while I take care of them.

A typical day

I will ensure to provide fun, interactive activities while watching the pets such as playing fetch, teaching them tricks, or putting together a puzzle feeder to keep their minds active. Every pet is unique, so I customize the activities based on the individual’s personality and interests to make sure they have a great time and an enriching experience while in my care!

Pet care experience

I’m a huge dog lover and love spending time with them. That’s why my friends, family, and neighbours trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I’m very patient and have a great ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet, I provide personalized care :)

Took great care of Loki, provided regular pics and updates. Loki had a blast! Would definitely ask for sitting services again in the future!

Arturo and Maria were very kind, attentive to Ivy and communicated extremely well. We received photos on the daily basis while they were on walks and checked in any time Ivy was out of sorts. I’d definitely recommend.
