About Gustavo R.

Safety, trust & environment
I've had and taken care of others' dogs for as long as I can remember! With two high-energy older dogs at home, I know how important it is to make sure a dog's unique, detailed needs are met. As a former dog trainer and pet sitter with over a decade of experience, you can trust your dog will be cared for as if they were my own.

Information Gustavo R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors you think I should know about! I have experience with everything from rambunctious puppies, high-energy adult dogs, to senior dogs with anxiety and food aggression and will happily work within you and your pet's needs.
A typical day
I've been a distance runner even longer than I've taken care of dogs, so I'm able to take your dog three or four miles every half hour and match any energy they throw my way if staying in their backyard or home.

Pet care experience
My wife and I moved to Austin for the running scene, so long walks and miles of movement are what I live for. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to match their energy on the trails, sidewalks, and (safe) roads. I’m a former service dog trainer, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. At home, we’ve got two bigger, high-energy older dogs, which means I’m used to handling strength, stamina, and the occasional “we’re not done yet” attitude. Whether your pup needs a chill walk, a proper outing, or a legit run, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, flexible, and I treat every dog like they’re my own .
Reviews


Gustavo was the best house and dog sitter we’ve had and we’ve used quite a few sitters through Rover. He sent multiple pictures and updates every day which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Gustavo again and highly recommend him!


Gustavo was great! We got consistent updates on our pups and they seemed to love him. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.



Gustavo was the best. Looking forward to having him in our home again to hang out with our three Danes. Thanks so much Gustavo!

Gustavo was great? He kept us informed on how the dogs were doing and sent several pictures of the dogs hanging out at the house and out on walks.
