Pet care experience

passionate towards caring for dogs

I began pet sitting in high school, visiting clients’ homes to feed their dogs and give them playtime while owners were away. Over time, this grew into a passion for understanding canine behavior. My interest in psychology, especially behavioral and humanistic approaches, along with my love for dogs, led me to earn my certification as a professional trainer. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, boarding, or housesitting, I ensure every dog is enriched and cared for. I welcome all breeds and temperaments as if they were my own.

Gino took amazing care of Honey. She is an elderly dog 13, mostly blind, so I was nervous. But the 3x daily photos relieved my mind and showed that Honey was having as wonderful a vacation as we did.

I had such a great experience working with Gino! From the start, he was incredibly accommodating and flexible with my schedule, which made the whole process stress free. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and happy the entire time. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but he truly went above and beyond. I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care!

Gino took excellent care of our 2 dogs (one of whom is extra anxious and needed lots of patience) and cat… PLUS he kept our house in great shape through the big freeze of 2026! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible for all types of dog care—except boarding and daycare. I use positive reinforcement to help keep your pup both physically and mentally stimulated. I'm versatile and reliable, and I’m fluent in both English and Spanish to ensure smooth communication with all pet parents.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer companionship and affection to pets in the absence of their owners, maintaining their routine and minimizing stress. In addition I maintain contact with the owners to update them on their pet's activities and wellbeing.

A typical day

I love keeping your dog active, engaged, and happy throughout the day! A typical day can include long walks, car rides, backyard play, dog park visits, playdates, clicker training, and treat puzzles—whatever suits your pup’s needs. I always tailor the day to your preferences and your dog’s personality.
