Pet care experience

Your dog’s BFF while you’re out!

I treat each pup like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently have a golden retriever and used to care for my 200 lb Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care, I adjust to their needs. I also have experience with: - Puppy basics like potty training and crate comfort - Senior care, including administering meds and gentle handling - Reading dog body language to ensure safe and happy interactions My goal is to be a trusted, calming presence so both you and your pup can relax while you’re apart.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a 1.5-year-old golden retriever at home, and my wife and I are experienced in providing attentive, loving care. I’ve also cared for my 200 lb Great Dane during his senior years, managing medications and extra needs with patience and gentleness. I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s exercise, administering meds, or simply offering companionship and reassurance while you’re away.

Diego stayed with my baby girl for a full week while I was overseas. I felt so reassured by his updates and videos and photos. I came home to a spotless house, and he even left some produce in my fridge! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10. Thank you Diego for your communication and trust!

Diego is the very best, most trustworthy human ever! He’s kind and super attentive to all of your pet needs. He made sure to send thoughtful updates for us on how our dog was doing. I can’t wait to book him again!

Diego did an amazing job with my senior dog, Pippa! He was very communicative, provided great care, and was very tidy. Would recommend him and will book with him again!

Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but Diego made the entire experience stress-free. He treated our pet like family and gave them so much love and attention. He even brought them to the park and had a play date with some other friendly dogs! Coming home to relaxed pet and a clean house meant everything to us.

Diego was fantastic with my dogs from start to finish! Can’t say enough about the care and communication from him as I was so nervous to leave my dogs for a work trip and had not established care here in Dallas. Both of my dogs are “special snowflakes” with health and behavior issues and take medications - this was no problem for Diego! They loved him and can’t wait for my next trip.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. As a dog owner, I already have a consistent routine of walks, playtime, feeding, and training. I truly enjoy early mornings and peaceful evenings with pets, and I structure my day around their needs. Whether it’s a weekend stay, midday walk, or last-minute drop-in, I’m flexible and happy to adjust my schedule. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that keeps your pet comfortable, active, and stress-free while you’re away.
