A new friend for your dog

Pet care experience

Greetings! I'm a full-time artist and educator working from home. I love to take walks with new four-legged friends. Running is also a hobby of mine so if you have a more energetic dog, I’m your guy. I live in a three-bedroom apartment with a backyard so there is plenty of space for a new pal to visit during the day, night, or weekends. I am currently a dog owner, my dog Zipa, the golden retriever in my profile photo, is super friendly and loves the company of other dogs. Zipa is the one who enjoys the most when other dogs stay over. I've been a dog owner since I was 7-years-old. My first dog was Danger (German Shepard), followed by Muñeca (mutt), then Ozzy (Golden Lab), and lastly Rex (Black Lab). Rex and Ozzy were trained by yours truly to do funny tricks. Caring for dogs with specific medical needs is something I’m experienced in as well.

Hector took great care of our cats again! We're happy to have found Hector and be able to have him drop in to feed and visit our cats when ever we're out of town.

Hector did a great job of taking of my kitty Cisco. He was able to work with me on short notice. He periodically checked in on Cisco and let me know how they were doing. I'd recommend Hector for looking after your cat.

Hector took great care of our cats on drop-in visits while we were out of town! One of our cats needs medication with her wet food and it was great that Hector was able to give it to her on his visits. We are really happy to have found Hector and will book him again!

Information Hector C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I can account for. My preference is for breeds that feel at ease around other humans and dogs.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore the many green areas in Takoma Park. If you like, I can also take your dog to the dog park nearby.
