caretaker, from farm to city

Pet care experience

I grew up on farms in southern california most of my childhood. In past fifteen years, I’ve been mostly a city boy but always surrounded by pets. Growing up, I lived in houses wherein we had cats, dogs, fish, frogs, hamsters, geckos, snakes, and sometimes even the occasional feral opossum chilling in our outside shed.

Hector helped us out and was patient with our pups. We asked him to come earlier than planned because we had a problem with another sitter we were splitting the weekend with due to the holiday . He also came into a mess because the dogs went to long without a break during the day. He cleaned it up and was gracious about it being the first visit ever with the pups . He communicated throughout the weekend and the house was tidy when we returned . I would recommend him to Others.

Hector is wonderful with my high energy standard poodle Marron. We call him Tio Hector bc he love Marron like family and he’s my first choice to watch Marron when I have to travel. He always makes sure he gets enough enrichment and exercise and sends me wonderful updates. Hector loves pups and knows how to bond with them and earn their trust. I’d definitely tilt recommend him for your pups care!

Hector did a nice job of calming our dog (who tends to be nervous about newcomers), and our dog enjoyed walking with him. Thank you!

Hector took care of my little Haiku many times for many days, even a week. Haiku is an anxious Japanese Chin and yet she loved staying with Hector. He was very responsible, attentive with Haiku and with us. Also, he has great communication skills so it was very easy to get in contact with him. Hector is a compassionate animal lover and I will always want to work with him. 100% recommend working with him!

I’m a full time PhD student, therefore I have flexibility. That being said, I graduate this coming spring, so I’m tight with time. I am very responsible and organized with my time management; all I need is effective and efficient communication ahead of time and I’ll inform you if I’m available or not.
