Pet care is part of my everyday life, I already care for my two dogs, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding routines, and giving plenty of attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a walk, drop in, or overnight stay.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will enjoy a safe and cozy environment in my home. We have a fully fenced 1-hectare yard where dogs can run and play freely, always on a fixed schedule and under my supervision, so they get exercise in a safe way without the need for a leash. Inside, I use indoor fences to keep areas organized and secure, and during the winter there’s a warm room to ensure pets stay comfortable. My two dogs sleep indoors, and we’re happy to welcome other dogs to do the same if that’s what they’re used to. If a pet prefers more privacy, I can also provide a protected room just for them. With set routines, constant supervision, and a loving environment, every pet will feel safe and at home here.

Information Carlos A. would like to know about your pet

How does your pet interact with other dogs and people? Are there any behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers I should be aware of? What is their usual daily routine (wake-up time, meals, walks, bedtime)? Are they fully house trained, and do they have a specific spot or routine for bathroom breaks? Do they have any medical needs, allergies, or medications? I also like to know: What activities does your pet enjoy the most (playtime, walks, quiet time, cuddles)? Are there any behaviors or health related signs I should watch for, such as seizures, anxiety episodes, or anything out of the ordinary?

A typical day

There are three moments during my daily routine that I truly enjoy and my 5 yo dog absolutely loves. We go out to the yard, and I throw sticks for her. Unlike other dogs, she doesn’t bring them back. Instead, she runs off with them and waits for me to chase her, so there I am, running after her around the yard. It’s a lot of fun, keeps us active, and always brings good energy to the day. I also give her the freedom to sniff around and relax without any rush. She has her favorite spot to do her business, and if the weather allows, we stay outside for at least 30–45 minutes each time.

Pets

Reliable Care, Happy Pets

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for pets my whole life and currently have two dogs, a 5 year old Xoloitzcuintle and a 17 year old Chihuahua, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and senior companions. I’m comfortable with routines, walks, and giving medication when needed. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I had an amazing experience with this dog sitter. They were truly wonderful—reliable, caring, and incredibly attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog Jacob was in such good hands. This was the first time Jacob actually wanted to go back and even seemed to miss his caregivers, which says everything about the love and attention he received. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

Alfonso is exceptional with dogs, patient, loving, and attentive. His large backyard provides plenty of space for dogs to run and play, and his two friendly, playful dogs help new pups feel comfortable and well acclimated.
