Safety, trust & environment

I’ve had family pets visit my place and have plenty of room to run around as well as relax. I keep an eye on them to make sure they are happy but also have the place “pet-proofed” if needed to step out. As per house visits I will stick strictly to the instructions left behind by the owner.

Information Hector O. would like to know about your pet

If a dog has a special diet or medication needed at certain times I would just need to be aware of that. Also any small quirks that the pet doesn’t like or prefers so as to keep them happy during a visit.

A typical day

I used to take clients to dog-friendly parks in the part of Chicago where I resided. I am looking forward to discovering the gems in Peoria with your pet as well. I will always appreciate a dog’s company and give them the attention they desire while catering to their schedules from home to make them feel comfortable around me or staying with me.

Pet care experience

I’ve had a Siberian Husky since I was 12 years old. The only time I wasn’t her primary caretaker was the 4 years I was away at college. I’ve seen her through the puppy phases and grow into a tame napper with bursts of energy from her youth. She lived with my parents when I moved back to the city until she crossed over the rainbow at 15, but I lived with my cousins 11 year old dog before coming to Peoria. I’ve also cared for friends’ pets before. Most notably a pug puppy that eventually moved in with a Chicago Cubs player for two weeks, a dog from Jerusalem with 3 cats and a lizard and a fish for a month, and many of my friends’ animals as well.

Wonderful and so friendly! Wrigley felt very at home here, Hector made him feel comfortable and not alone. It was our first time trying this service and we are beyond amazed with Hector’s hospitality, constant care, and daily updates! He provided pictures through out the day, genuinely listened to us, and ask questions to better help him really understand Wrigley and his needs. Would definitely rebook no questions asked!

Hector was very responsive and kind! Our girls (2 big doggos) seemed ever comfortable and happy with him. He did his best to soothe them after many transitions for them all at once. He was also flexible when we changed dates and asked for different drop off times. He also sent me updates which was very helpful!! Thank you, Hector!

I especially appreciated Hector's frequent pictures and updates of my dog. He obviously loves animals and he did a great job!
