Information Geraldene H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have some special needs ahead of time. Also any preferences and routines you will like me to encourage during the stay.

A typical day

In the morning we will have breakfast and some good time outside to potty and play a bit. In the evening they will have dinner and also play outside. In general, we will have plenty of physical activity for your dog. Fun playing outside sometimes fetching a ball, or just running around in the big fenced backyard. Also they can cuddle with us to watch TV. The walks are going to be around the neighborhood. At the time to sleep those who usually sleep in their crate I will do same routine. Dogs are kept in the first floor with their preferred type of bedding. Last potty outside before going to sleep will be around 10 pm.

Pet care experience

At home we treat every dog/animal as part of the family. We take care of them and give them love and attend their needs as your desires as possible. My teenagers and me are the ones who are going to care of our visitors pets. My son offers evening walks and pets loves him. We also have pets of our own and they can play in our big yard safely. Don’t hesitate to contact us and make any question. We are very flexible. We will love to have your pets with us. Also if you need us to come home and attend your pet while you are away for long hours we can do that too. We can also take care of small animals like guinea pigs or hamsters. Also water plants when you are on vacation. Thank you for visiting our profile. See you !

Very good watcher of our dogs. They seemed to get along with Geraldine family very well. We felt she is a natural with a safe home / property & pet-care giving family.

Geraldene was amazing with our old pup! She’s so kind and clearly has a real love for dogs. Our dog felt comfortable with her right away, and it gave us such peace of mind. Geraldene was super flexible with timing, which really helped us out. We couldn’t recommend her more – she’s the best!

Geraldene has a clean and happy home. She sent photos and videos daily! My dog had such a good time, I almost couldn't get her to leave!

She has taken care of my dog many times for long periods of time, 10 days, 15 sometimes, even for a month when I travel abroad in summer or at Christmas. She is just a wonderful pet caregiver and my dog feels like at home when he is at her place. She has a big space and a nice backyard for the dog to sit, walk and play. She has a long experiencie having many different kind of dogs and she also takes care of my dog food, papers and his joints treatment since he is not a young dog anymore. You can feel yourself so conmfortable when leaving your dog with her due to her kind character and disposition and she sends you pics and information about how the dog is doing. I trust her, that's why I keep having my dog with her anytime I need. This is the third year she has had my Sam for the summer and I definitely recommend her to everybody. And her prices are great and she also speaks spanish!!.
