Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover & Dependable Pet
I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. My care includes around-the-clock supervision from my mother, fiancée, and caregivers, so every pet has loving company. I also have a 7-year-old Shih Tzu named Milo, so I know firsthand the care and attention our furry companions need. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pup needing gentleness, I’m here to help with love and patience.

Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Gustavo enough! He took such amazing care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the updates and photos that my dog was loved, happy, and treated like part of their family. He went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. Knowing my dog was in such caring hands made all the difference. I’m so grateful for his kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I will definitely be booking with him again!
Thank you for taking care of Sugar
Gustavo and his family are so attentive and took great care of my Maltipoo. He sent routine pics and videos of my pup which was so nice to see when I was traveling. His family members were also very kind and affectionate with my dog and I'm glad that he has another similar sized dog so my dog could play and socialize also. Definitely will book again!!
Our Tonton is a rescued and a bit of a fearful dog and is still adjusting to the new city life and Gustavo was very helpful and accomodating. We could tell that Tonton had been taken care of and loved that he was able to socialize with other dogs during his stay at Gustavo's place We are currently having difficulty with taking him out for a walk because of his intense anxiety and with Gustavo's advice, we were able to take him outdoors for the first time. Will definitely book again in the future!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my Sheltie received. She was accepted at the very last minute, and he was incredibly open, kind, and accommodating. He truly pampered her and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire time. I received plenty of daily photos and videos, always following every instruction exactly as given. It’s clear he cares deeply about the pets he looks after. Highly recommended.
Awesome! I booked Gustavo last minute very late for an overnight stay & he was very responsive and accommodating. He sent pics/vids of my baby & she came back happy. Would definitely book again.

Schedule
I’m currently disabled and using apps such as wag and rover as a part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pups. I have an excess of free time and energy to spend with them—whether it’s playtime at home or fun trips to the dog park just four blocks away. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a heart full of love and compassion for every animal entrusted to me, and I treat each one like my own.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure routines—like feeding, potty breaks, and playtime—are maintained. I have plenty of toys, soft bedding, and a peaceful space where dogs can rest or play comfortably. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize trust, patience, and gentle care every step of the way.

A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play fetch for the entire day, whilst keeping them/ or him hydrated, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore travers park on 78th street near my house.
