Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I work part time as a professional dog groomer and have 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I spend my days working closely with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Outside of grooming, I enjoy continuing that same level of attention through pet sitting by providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and personalized care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it fits easily into my weekly routine because working with pets has always been a big part of my life.

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping the home clean, secure, and following all owner instructions carefully.

Gentle Care for Dogs of All Sizes

Pet care experience

I’m a professional dog groomer with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background has taught me patience, gentle handling, attention to detail, and how to make pets feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I’m skilled at reading dog behavior, maintaining calm energy, and providing attentive, reliable care. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, grooming needs, or simply giving extra affection and reassurance, I treat every dog like family and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness.

Fernando doesn’t see caring for dogs as just a job — he treats every pup as if they were his own. His main priority is always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in his care. He takes the time to build trust, often getting down on their level so they can approach him comfortably, sniff him, and realize they have nothing to fear. His compassion, patience, and genuine love for animals truly shine through in everything he does, giving pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in the safest hands possible. Beyond being amazing with pets, Fernando is also wonderful with people — respectful, honest, dependable, and truly a great person through and through.

Fernando is great to work with. He has taken great care of both my dogs (Bernese Mountain Dog and a Sharpie mix) on an extended weekend trip. Fernando also does our dogs grooming! Highly recommend.

Fernando did an amazing job watching my three Shih Tzus. He was reliable, caring, and treated them like they were his own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Fernando was attentive to their needs, kept everything clean, and made sure they got plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.
