I'll care for YOUR Best-Friend! :)

Pet care experience

Dogs and animals have been a part of my life since I can remember :). The Family and I are huge animal lovers and have cared for multiple pets, fosters, and rescue animals of different breeds/species/ and sizes. You name it, we've probably cared for them, from dogs, to cats, to parakeets, to turtles, to chickens, to fish, to pigeons, to lizards, to seagulls, to snakes, and even to baby raccoons! We have a family of 5 wonderful pups (All a mixture of Havanese and/or Shih Tzu) and 8 cats, that have been rescued and fostered by us (they love company!). Needless to say my home is almost an animal sanctuary and some may say zoo haha, but we are just very pet friendly. We don't even scold for jumping on the couch around here! We are lifelong animal lovers and utterly adore every single one of them :) As for myself, I have +15 years of pet handling experience with animals apart from my own. I also have past experience working as the main stable-hand at Medieval Times Dinner And Tournament, caring for the horses. If you can walk, bathe, and care for a horse, you can walk anything, I like to say haha. Past experiences have also involved administering oral medications gently, so I would be able to do that for your pup if they have special necessities requiring medication. I also have a lot of experience with high energy pets, and pets of all sizes and ages. I am currently between jobs, focusing on being a stay-at-home multimedia marketer, so I'm almost always free and to your disposal weekdays and weekends, mornings and afternoons. I will do my best to accommodate any requests, so please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, or to let me know how I can help! I can also care for more than one of your pups at once if you have a doggy family! ( ONLY if needed for House-Sitting in your home). Or care for any other house pets that you may have such as cats, reptiles, fish, birds and etc. As for Boarding at my home, I only accept 1 pup maximum. "I need someone I can trust" Myself and many others have said this when searching for a reliable pet care-giver. Since, I've been there too, when having to find sitters for my pups when going on family camping trips, I take this statement very seriously. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand THEY are FAMILY too, and it's difficult to be away from them and entrust them to someone new. If you let me, I can provide that much needed and deserved PEACE OF MIND you should get, when wanting to leave your home and fur baby/s in someone's else's hands, as you tend to life's duties or enjoy your get-away. Knowing your dog is sleeping in their own bed, playing with their own toys, eating and pottying on their usual schedules, all while being attended by someone you BOTH can trust. So as a pet owner and sitter, I know how much your fur babies mean to you and I will always care for them as if they were my own. Treating each with respect, love, and most importantly the protection of my own. ** Meet And Greets ** I would love to meet you and your pet before any services start. So please let me know your availability so we can schedule an appointment and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby/s! :)

Fernando has walked my somewhat clingy and difficult dog Zelda twice and she loves him . He is very low key with a nice vibe and trustworthy. He’s also very intuitive and you don’t have to explain anything to him twice . I am looking forward to using Fernando’s services regularly in the future and I know Zelda is as well .

Fernando is a wonderful pet sitter. When I went I vacation I trusted him with my dog fifi. He took very good care of him while I was gone. It was like my dog was at his own home that's how good he took care of fifi. The day I picked him up my dog did not want to leave. I trust fernando any day with my dog.

Fernando is a reliable and responsible worker, especially when it come to dogs. He's experienced enough to handle most breeds and is good with sizable groups of pooches. I'd highly recommend his services. He's taken care of a few of my dogs already, A Chihuahua, Brown Lab and Shih tzu.

Information Fernando C. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences. But I would appreciate if you'd let me know if your dog has socialization issues (bad temperament), Fears (what spooks them), Allergies, if they nip/bite when trying to reach something near or from their mouth (trying to eat something they arent supposed to, and if they don't like being lifted (some can bite if they dont enjoy that), and etc. so I can make sure that they are comfortable and happy in my care. Let me know and I can accomodate specific needs or requests too, for your dog's unique diet, health, and activity level, and will diligently follow any rules you've established for them. Also if your pup is special needs or grown, I have dogs with special needs of their own (needing assistance pooping or even needing to be lifted when trying to jump), so I understand how important it is that they get proper care.

A typical day

I would love to take your pup on walks/runs around your neighborhood or take them out to nearby parks as well, perhaps a doggy park or two. I can even treat them to local dog catered events too, given permission before-hand that is. We can also play with their toys and playfully run around outside in the yard, or if your pup loves car rides I can take them for a stroll too. With every pup I care for, I try to get to know them and learn how they like to be loved. Whether it's spending time cuddling or throwing a ball for a fetcher, I'll do everything I can to make sure your dog's care is personalized. There isn't an activity I wouldn't love to do :) ** New Clients ** ask me how you can get a FREE Dog-Walk!! **
