FUN SUMMER TIMES

Pet care experience

I have had dogs of all kind ever since I was a little boy. I have knowledge on what dogs usually want and when they want it. If your furry friend wants to take a walk I will gladly take them on a scheduled walk for as long as the owner desires. Are you going away for a business trip or a fun vacation for yourself, but don't know where to leave your friend? I'll be more than gladly to visit them in your own home. Take them out for a walk. Socialize with other dogs. Go back home to cool down. Play with them some more. And get every drop of energy they have left in them. That way they're tired out until I go visit again. Overnight persisting is a breeze. I can reassure them that they are being taken care off and nothing bad will happen. On walks I have experience with tiny and medium sized dogs. If they tend to pull on leashes I'll carry treats with me, that way both of us can enjoy the walk. I can use treats provided by the owner or I can bring acceptable treats that the owner has approved. Bigger dogs are not really my specialty I would only dog sit in the owners home and play with them or clean up after them. Of bigger dogs walk on leashes and do not pull whatsoever then I would agree to take them on a walk that way they can do their business outside. I would provide the best experience for all parties. I'll make sure furry friends are well taken care off and follow all of the owners instructions. If the owners wish for me to do some light cleaning I'll do that as well. Overall the important thing is that furry friends are well taken care off and are healthy when owners return home to a happy loving friend.

Gerardo was AMAZING pet sitting my dog! It’s hard to find someone who will actually take great care of animals and give them as much attention as you would like. Gerardo really was so loving towards my dog. He always made sure to send updates to me via pictures and videos. My dog is always so excited to see him and I will continue to have Gerardo watch my dog. I highly recommend him!

Gerardo is a very responsible dog sitter. Who cares and loves your dog as one of his own. I would definitely recommend him for a dog sitter.

The way I take care of my dog is I get up early each morning and go for a small jog with him. I would then do a small workout with the dog and get him to do simple but affective workouts. In the client's home I would do the same if the owner is OK with it. I would ideally take out the doggo for a small jog as well. Go home and cool them down with iced water and berries if allowed by the owner. If the client has a house with fence I would gladly play with the dog outside in the backyard until they are tired. If the client has a pool and they're ok with this idea I would let the dog swim in it for a couple of minutes. Bring them out rinse them off, shampoo them to get excess chemicals out of their furry and rinse them off once more with regular water. Dry them off in the shade and let them air dry. Once dry I'll take them back inside. Feed specific food that the owner has instructed me too. Give them water and just stay with them till they fall asleep. I can leave music on for them that is meant to be soothing and relaxing for both dogs and humans

Although I am a full time student I find that I have plenty of free time once I'm done with school work. Instead of me staying home, being selfish and spending time with my lovable dog. Why not be a pet sitter that is in convenience of the pet owner. There are approximately 48 million US households that have pets. Some households are busy to the point where their lovable furry pets don't go out as much or don't get any attention. While parents are home and kids are in school I would be more than gladly to walk lovable pets. Play with them for extended amounts of times. Or groom them to make them feel fluffier than usual. For those who use summer as a time for vacations I would gladly spend the day with their furry friend and make sure nothing is wrong with them.
