Will match energy of your pet!

Pet care experience

I raised a Pekingese dog during high school. I walked the dog multiple times a day and also bathed her. I also had a cat growing up; he was like a brother to me. What sets me apart is that I am energetic, patient, and enjoy being outside. I will make sure your dog is not lacking attention and goes on plenty of walks. (Logging 15 K steps a day. If your dog is energetic, I love to exercise and am glad to run with him/her. Small and big dogs are welcomed, as I can be gentle and also handle a strong dog. Where I live there is a park, so I can spend the whole day outside with them if they like. However, pets that prefer to cuddle is also fine. Most importantly, I will treat your dog as it is my own and match its energy.

Hector and his wife were great. Good communication / very responsive and Ralphie seemed to enjoy his time with them.

Hector has always done a great job with my pets and is a natural with animals! He is communicative, patient, and always works hard to accommodate my pets' routines and needs. :)

Hector is great with pets. He would play tag with the cat, walk and bath his aunts dog. As he loves to be outside, he made sure the dog went outside many times. Your pet will be in good hands with Hector.

Information Hector T. would like to know about your pet

Willing to negotiate price and be booked without the app. Let me know if dog has any special needs. Also, what if your typical dogs schedule. What are you working on training your dog to do/not do. Unfortunately since I live in a small apartment, dogs over 60lbs may be difficult for me. Also, I can’t have a dog that barks too much due to my neighbors.

A typical day

I live in a community with a lot of greenery. There is a park next to my apartment where I can take the dog to walk, run, and play games. I live near Lubber Run trail. Dog will get 4+ walks a day and time to play.

I telework from home so I have a open schedule. I also live walking distance to everywhere I go, so I am always in the neighborhood. With so much greenery around me dogs will have a lot of space to go for walks and runs. I live with my fiancé who also teleworks and helps me take care of your pets. I sleep and wake up up pretty early. Only time we leave home is going to the gym in the morning, grocery shopping on Wednesdays, and date night on the weekends.
