vacation time for your baby

Pet care experience

I grew up with different kinds of pets, cats, birds, chickens and roosters. In 2012 we were fortunate to welcome this beautiful and smart senior beagle. It didn't take long for us to become good friends. I walked him, cleaned him after each walk, fed him, talked to him. I learned to read his expressions and understand when he wanted to nap on the bed. I made sure he had his play time. GENTLE rough playing. We loved our beagle and it's because of him that today we are in this business. Each pet is so especial, and we treat them all like family. We go on walks always making sure they have time to smell the roses. We walk them for their pleasure so we just don't rush them.

Leaving my Tatum with Martha & Gerardo leaves me at ease knowing they treat Tay like their own. Martha has to mentally prepare herself when he leaves because the bond is so true. They are the only sitters I call on now.

Gerardo and his wife were very helpful with our dog Molly. We have a very anxious dog and they were able to provide care for her even though it wasn’t the easiest of stays for them. I greatly appreciate their help even on short notice from us.

This was my first time leaving my pup with someone and I’m incredibly grateful I left it with them. I got so many pictures and videos everyday and I felt my pup was safe and comfortable. 100000% recommend and I will most definitely be contacting them again. THANK YOU<3

So many great things to say about Gerardo and his wife Martha. They took my pup in last minute after a very uncomfortable situation I had with another sitter. The situation was uncomfortable and nerve wracking for us all but Gerardo and Martha went over the top for the safety and comfort of my pup and for my sanity. They went te extra mile to pick her up. They sent me frequent updates with videos and picturesof how she was doing. They took her out on long walks. Honestly I can't thank them enough and I really appreciate all they've done. I have no words to describe the gratitude I have in my heart for their help. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your pet, Gerardo and Martha are the ones to hire! They don't just have nice words on their profile to lure people in---they genuinely love what they do! From the bottom of my heart I say thank you again.

Information Gerardo V. would like to know about your pet

All pets have their own personalities, tell me about yours. Is he the serious type, or he the type that needs to play all the time, is he afraid, does he need extra attention? special diet, past injuries, reaction to traffic, to noise... anything out of the ordinary, let me know, this way we can all have a pleasant stay

A typical day

walking through the quiet streets of my neighborhood, stopping to smell the roses, and sometimes each and every stick we find along the way... its their time to explore. at home there are lots of toys to play with and they seem to just tired themselves out playing with other pups.
