Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy owners!😄🐾❤️🫶🏻

Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I grew up in a home with dogs and cats, and over time, I became the go-to person for friends and family whenever they needed someone to care for their pets while they traveled. For over 10 years, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special care. I’ve also cared for cats, learning to respect their unique personalities and needs. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, love, and routine to ensure every pet feels safe and happy under my care.

Absolutely wonderful! I received consistent photos and videos throughout the day, Koda was treated like one of the family, and Gonzalo was so attentive and flexible! Well definitely use him again.

Gonzalo and his family did a great job watching our Samson. They were great at communicating and sending updates and photos during his stay. Samson really seemed to have fun and feel at home.

Gonzalo and his family are wonderful caregivers!! They were willing to watch my 7 month old puppy for a few days which I know would be challenging for anyone. But they did an excellent job and made sure Ajax was comfortable and cared for properly. And he got plenty of attention and playtime. I was kept up to date with lots of photos as well. It shows that Gonzalo and fam truly love dogs and treat them like family of their own. Highly recommended!! Will absolutely book again!

Gonzalo and his family took such good care of Lulu! Communication and updates were phenomenal and she looked like she was having the best time. She’s a shy dog, and they introduced her to the other pups perfectly and she played with them while she was there! I don’t even think she noticed we were gone, she came home so happy. We will definitely be booking again! 💛

Gonzales was so responsive, I had been looking for a rover for about two weeks during a holiday time and he was very communicative. With my dog being post heartworm treatment and needing to remain calm, he was very attentive and shared daily updates on how she was doing. Would absolutely rebook with him!

Gonzalo and his family are incredibly loving! You feel that warmth the second you step into their home. Pets run around happily like they own the place. Muffin was absolutely thrilled both times, playing right up until pickup. We loved getting their timely photo and video updates. We have found a home away from home for Muffin!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I’m passionate about. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, your furry friend will receive plenty of attention and a home-like environment where they can feel happy and relaxed.

A typical day

I love to keep your pets engaged both physically and mentally. Our day will include fun activities like interactive games, walks around my neighborhood to explore new scents, and a visit to a nearby park for some exercise and socialization. I also ensure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and any needed breaks to make them feel comfortable and at home
