Availability

I am fully dedicated to caring for the dogs. I have full availability throughout the day to provide attention, walks, playtime, and exercise. I take the dogs out for potty breaks every 2-4 hours and maintain a calm and structured routine. I can adjust the schedule according to each dog’s specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I use crates at home so each dog has their own comfortable and safe space when needed. My own dogs are friendly and social, which helps the dogs I care for feel more relaxed. I work to maintain a clean, structured, and trustworthy environment so both the dogs and their owners feel safe and at ease.

Information Fernando L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. I am experienced with different breeds and energy levels, including high-energy and working dogs. Clear communication helps me provide the best care possible for every dog.

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs includes morning potty breaks, feeding, and some playtime in the yard. During the day I take them out for walks or let them play and exercise. In the afternoon they rest, and in the evening we have more playtime and another walk before bedtime. I make sure they get attention, exercise, and structure throughout the day.

Pet care experience

I have over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs. I have trained and cared for dogs from police and military programs, as well as family dogs. I specialize in personalized positive reinforcement training (basic, intermediate, and advanced) and safe in home boarding. I use crates for the dogs’ well being and focus on obedience, leash work, and behavior modification. I speak fluent Spanish and enjoy explaining everything clearly so owners can continue the training at home. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel calm and confident throughout the process.

Fernando was amazing with Rookie! He sent plenty of updates and made us feel at ease leaving our pup with him. Would 100% rebook with Fernando again!!

I have had my dog watched by many people but no one has actually took the time to treat my pet like one of their own. I will only use Fernando to watch my pets for now on.

We couldn’t be happier with Fernando’s care for our dogs while we were away. He went above and beyond, treating them like his own. Our pups were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for when we got back. Fernando has earned our complete trust, and we highly recommend him.
