I am the Dogfather.

Pet care experience

I'm always available to sit and or walk your dog. I am very affectionate towards animals. I absolutely adore them. Every dog owner should know that their pets will be loved, provided for and taken care of. I have a lot of free time so playing with them and keeping them entertained is something I look forward to. I do send photos and videos quite frequently so you can know how your pet is doing on a daily basis. Most of my experience with pet sitting comes from taking care my friends and family members pets and from volunteering at an animal sanctuary. I have developed responsibility and learned quite a lot about dogs that way and now I'm looking forward to using that experience professionally. I’m adaptable and very flexible with my schedule perfect for those who need a last minute sitter. I’m also very willing to pet sit for longer durations if need be. I also enjoy exercising so I’m available for dog walks up to an hour or more if the owner requests that. There's a nice bike trail perfect for dog walks so no complaints here. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. 💖

We have used Fernando for the second time now for a period of 7 days and every day he sent photos and videos of how my Abby was doing and in each one I could see that she was having a great time. Thank you Fernando for taking care of our little girl while we vacationed without a worry.

I'd never tried an app like this before, and my first experience was with Fernando. I was very happy, especially because he inspires a lot of peace and patience. During Abby's stay, he sent messages and videos about her condition. Thank you, Fernando, for your help.

Fernando watched my 3 pups without having met him. This last minute Doggie Daycare booking was unexpected so no time for Meet and Greet. I had never met Fernando, but relied on his 5 star rating. Fernando did not disappoint. My pups seemed in good care and he sent me several pictures during their brief stay. This put my mind at ease. Thank you, Fernando.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fence yard so your fur baby can run around and enjoy the outdoors anytime as often as he/she wants. I never leave your pet unattended so you can rest assure that your pet will be in good hands. I do require crates during their stay and this is for their safety. I can't leave them unattended while I'm showering or when I'm sleeping or going out doing errands so a crate is a must.

Information Fernando T. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any preferences when it comes to the kind of breed. I would care for any dog. And if I am sitting a dog I would love for the owner to provide info on what the dog likes or don’t like, any foods that they’re allowed or can eat or not to eat so I can be sure to provide the best care possible.

A typical day

There's a really nice bike trail near my house where a lot of people take their dogs for walks. I take all client's dogs for walks there. It's peaceful, quiet and safe. Even I go for a run there it's perfect. If you have any toys I do play fetch with them, as I mentioned I have a fully fenced backyard where they can run around and play and often spend hours playing with them.

*Update* Hello, thank you for considering in me as your pet sitter. At this time I am no longer able to take in more than 3 dogs and they must be from the same owner and not different owners. I'm back in college now so I can only focus on one dog at a time.. I also have to increase my prices unfortunately. I also no longer do Meet and Greets without being booked FIRST. I don't feel comfortable giving out my address without confirmed booking, you may always cancel a week prior to the date to get a full refund. And I do not have a car so I am unable to do pickups. Thank you for your understanding.
