Availability
I do freelance work and am able to design my own work schedule. I like to stay busy and am amenable to dog-walking or pet-sitting at hours others may not be able to accommodate.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet as if they were my own family member. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the dog’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and respectful of both the pet and the client’s home. I also provide regular updates and photos so parents can feel confident that their pets are receiving loving, professional care. With years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality and needs.

Your Pet, My Priority
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From my earliest memories, dogs have been part of my life—not just as pets, but as true family members. Over the years, I’ve been a dedicated “dog dad” through every stage of a dog’s life, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring extra patience and care. I’ve also supported dogs through times of illness, so I understand how important it is to be attentive, gentle, and responsive to their needs. I pride myself on being kind, conscientious, reliable, and patient. When you trust me with your dog, you can expect professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know they are a beloved part of your family. With my life experience comes a calm and steady approach, which helps me handle unexpected situations with confidence and good judgment. Whether it’s a daily walk, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!
Reviews
Happy to recommend Fernando! I have observed him many times with dogs and trust him deeply with my own! He is patient and kind and understanding, and he clearly loves the animals. It's fun to see the connection he makes with them!
Fernando is a kind, honest, and responsible person, who makes warm connections with people and animals wherever he goes. He does his best whether a task is big or small, and treats everyone (including four-legged friends) with respect. Fernando is very patient and unflappable, which makes him perfectly suited for dog-walking and pet-sitting. His calm demeanor is a valuable trait, especially when dealing with nervous dogs or cats. Fernando has had deep connections with all of his dogs, and understands the anxieties a pet parent might experience when trusting their pet's care to another person. Highly recommend!
