Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them.

A typical day

I love keeping pets entertained in ways that match their personality—whether that’s fun walks, fetch, puzzle toys, cat wand play, or just cozy cuddle time. I mix in play, exercise, and mental stimulation so they stay happy, relaxed, and engaged while you're away.

Pets: the purest love on earth

Pet care experience

I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away.

Gustavo did an amazing job taking care of Timber overnight. He was reliable, attentive, and made sure Timber was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and knowing Timber was in good hands while we were away. Timber was happy and relaxed when we got back, which says it all. We would absolutely trust Gustavo again and highly recommend him! 🐾

Gustavo was an absolute lifesaver taking care of our dog Cyber during the Christmas holiday! We were worried about leaving him over such a busy time, but Gustavo went above and beyond to make sure Cyber felt loved and comfortable. He sent us regular updates with adorable photos and videos of Cyber playing, cuddling, and even enjoying some holiday cheer – it really put our minds at ease while we were away celebrating with family. Cyber came home happy, tired from all the fun walks and playtime, and clearly well-cared for. Gustavo was professional, communicative, and genuinely passionate about pets. We'll definitely book him again and can't recommend him enough to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter, especially during the holidays!

Gustavo took care of my Dobby very well. He sent me daily pictures and made me feel secure with the daily updates. He is also very flexible and accommodating with schedules and understood my 1 hour delay on flights. So I recommend Gustavo and I will be using him again .

Gustavo took care of my 2 cats for about 3 months. They didn’t want to leave! They were well taken care of with new toys and enrichment options. He also helped me find products that they enjoyed using while in his care. I plan on using his services in the future.
