Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Fernando, and I take pride in providing top-notch pet-sitting services! With a long experience and a passion for animals, my wife Milena and I have the pleasure of caring for furry friends in Jersey City. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of ensuring our animals are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil (my hometown) and had a dog named Minnie for 16 years and a cat named Miety for 15 years. Now we have Serena, a cute Golden Retriever puppy! Milena also has been working as a cat and dog sitter for more than ten years in São Paulo, Brazil; Brisbane, Australia; and Boston and Jersey City, U.S. She was born around dogs and also developed a passion for cats as she started taking care of the felines of her relatives and friends. Whether taking your furry friend for a walk, providing overnight care, or dropping-in visits, you can trust that we are committed to ensuring their comfort, happiness, and safety. We are reliable and responsible; you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. So if you're looking for a pet sitter who values the well-being of your animal just as much as we do, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You will have two people giving so much attention to your little friend. We look forward to meeting you and your buddy!

Milena and Fernando are nothing but exceptional pet sitters. Milena, once again, took great care of our 2 puppies for almost 2 weeks at our house while we were out on vacations. She folowed all the directions sharply and sent us pictures and news multiple times a day, which we love! Our dogs love her and we feel very safe in leaving them with Milena and Fernando 😊

Information Fernando O. would like to know about your pet

It's essential to know how old your pet is, in addition to some of their behaviors. We also need to see if it will be necessary to administer any oral medication or something like that (like dripping eye drops), do specific cleaning in any region of your pet's body, etc.

A typical day

We like to play with the dogs with different toys and make them have fun with other kinds of games! There is an area on the side of our building with grass that we can take for a walk, as well as a large park 10 minutes from our house, where they can explore a lot.
