Availability

I’m dog lover at heart and I work as contractor on a 9/80 schedule, I have one off-Friday bi-weekly and I am almost WFH every Thursday/Friday. I’m home most of the time during weekends if no plans are in my schedule. I will always notify you of my full availability throughout your dogs stay so you will always know when I am home.

Safety, trust & environment

My home: I have a inside camera to monitor my pets and clients pets and a ring doorbell for monitoring activity in front of the house. My pet: Broly is my full time buddy and my castle’s resident mini schnauzer and looks like a rough Viking with his long beard. However, Broly is well trained, very kind and more than welcome to play or keep your pet company. He is cat-friendly as long as the feline is friendly with dogs. Pet care: We expect company from dogs who know how to play well with others and are kind to Broly. We go on walks 2-3 times a day, 15-45 minutes. Will feed your dog based on their schedule and needs. Dogs can lay in furniture and in bed. Broly loves to sleep in my bedroom on his multiple little beds. Your pet will be welcome to find a spot and join him (or bring his pet bed if available). We have extra bowls for food and water around here in case you don’t want to bring your pet's bowls. Your pet can receive treats if they are allowed and has been consulted with me about with his/hers dietary habits and needs are accounted for during his stay.

Information Gerardo T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know all your pets needs: feeding, potty breaks, social interactions and behavioral things to be aware of, treats tolerations, exercise tolerance, playtime needs, etc. Be aware I am not familiar with your dog, please be considerate on let me know what is most important to you and will lead to a successful boarding/careof your pet. I will treat him/her as my own.

A typical day

Broly and I go on walks 2-3 times a day (we usually have 1 long walk in the day and 2 shorter walks), visit the Viera Bark Park almost every day to socialize with all the other neighborhood dogs. We travel almost every where and like to be out and about. I am a full-time in-person employee (8:30am-4:30pm) from Monday to Wednesday and I work remotely at home Thursdays to Fridays.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs for about 5/6 years now. Very welcoming towards kind and loving dogs. My place is home to a mini Schnauzer who’s lovely and pretty chill.

Gerardo went above and beyond taking care of Belle when she apparently had a "lower track" reaction to an injection she received last Friday. Appreciate the effort.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
