This helps keep them engaged and reduces feelings of loneliness.

Information Berto R. would like to know about your pet

To ensure the best care for your pets, it's important to gather detailed information ahead of time. This includes understanding their specific dietary needs and feeding schedule, as well as any health conditions or medications they require. Knowing their behavior and temperament helps in managing their interactions and addressing any triggers for anxiety or aggression. It's also crucial to be aware of their daily routine, grooming needs, and bathroom habits. Identifying their favorite toys and comfort items will help keep them engaged and secure. Additionally, having emergency contact information for their veterinarian and understanding their socialization preferences ensures that their care is both comprehensive and tailored to their needs.

A typical day

While caring for your dogs, I make sure they enjoy a variety of activities to keep them happy. This includes daily walks to provide exercise and fresh air. I also incorporate playtime with their favorite toys and offer simple enrichment activities to stimulate their minds. Each activity is designed to fit their preferences and ensure they stay content throughout the day. When caring for your cats, I ensure they have plenty of enjoyable activities to keep them entertained. This includes interactive play sessions with toys like feather wands or catnip toys to engage their natural instincts. I also provide enrichment opportunities, such as new scratching posts or puzzle toys, to stimulate their curiosity. Each activity is tailored to their preferences to ensure they stay happy and content throughout the day.

Loving Dog Handler& Cat Care

Pet care experience

I’m a huge animal lover, with experience handling both dogs and cats. Currently, I work as a dog handler at a boarding, training, and daycare facility, where I am usually in a room with over 25 dogs at a time. Previously, I worked in a facility that boarded cats as well, where I was responsible for feeding them and cleaning their catios. I have two years of experience handling dogs of all sizes and caring for cats. I also have a 4-year-old French Bulldog and a 2-year-old long-haired cat of my own, which gives me a personal perspective on pet care. My approach is centered around understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they receive the best possible care and attention. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calming anxiety, or just offering plenty of cuddles, I am committed to making every pet feel loved and cared for.

Everything was in good order upon our return. Berto checked in every day. We were in a part of the world that didn’t have internet and trusted Berto with our pet.
