Hi there! If you're looking for someone to care after your little loved one then you've come to the right place. I am very passionate when it comes to animals as they are the love of my life. I love to spend all day playing and caring after animals. Growing up I didn't have many friends, instead I would spend my time playing and taking care of my precious dog who was my best friend. Because of this, over the course of time I began to adore dogs more and more to the point where I would rather be around them then other people. If it were up to me, I would happily live on a ranch with hundreds of dogs roaming around. Instead, I happily live in a loving home with 7 dogs who I can call my own family. I could not imagine a life where I am not around animals nor where I do not live with one seeing how I've always lived with one my entire life. I don't see animals or pets as objects or simply animals, but as family, and I would love for them as if they were one of my own children. The best thing I do is provide lots of love for your precious one. I also, if my schedule allows it, offer to stay with your kiddo(s) throughout the day (free of charge and with your permission) as I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur babies; and I absolutely love keeping them company!

Another great experience with Fernando house sitting for our pups. He even took our trash out and washed the dishes. And most importantly the pups were in great hands! Thank you so much!

Wonderful experience! He kept in touch throughout the stay, walked them twice daily as we asked, and treated our home and pups as if they were his own! Thank you so much!!!

I have the most skittish cat in the world. Fernando is so patient and his presence is calming that my cat is curious enough to say hello.
