Pet care experience

Dogs are the best companions!

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent to Koko, my 5-year-old American Pit Bull mix. I also had a wonderful West Highland Terrier named Rhyno who lived to be 15 years old and will always hold a special place in my heart. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s a neighborhood stroll, a hike around the lake, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making sure dogs stay happy, active, and well cared for. I know that many dogs spend long hours at home while their owners are at work, and a walk or visit can make a huge difference in their day. My goal is to provide not only exercise but also attention, affection, and quality time. When your dog is in my care, I will treat them like one of my own with love, patience, belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of attention. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and positive experience for every dog I meet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Diego and his family took such amazing care of our Melo! He sent frequent updates with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Melo had the best time playing with their dog, Coco, and he’s definitely going to miss his new buddy. I would highly recommend Diego for anyone looking for a caring and reliable boarding experience!

Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My wife also helps me with pet care, so your dog will have someone around to provide extra love and attention when needed. We work together to make sure every pet gets the walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and rest they need.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a quiet, peaceful, and dog-friendly neighborhood where I enjoy taking the dogs on walks. I have a spacious yard where dogs can enjoy some supervised outdoor time, but because it isn’t fenced, I never rely on the yard as a substitute for a leash or proper supervision. Your pet’s safety is always my priority.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I like to follow their personality, energy level, and routine. We enjoy walks around the neighborhood, exploring nearby trails, playing with toys, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I also have lots of dog toys and can provide treats when approved by their owner. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me.

I don’t have a breed preference. I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes. Before a stay, I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, energy level, likes and dislikes, and any special instructions. It’s also important for me to know how they interact with children and other dogs, since I have a child and another dog at home. Being upfront about your pet’s needs and temperament helps me create a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
