Availability

When house sitting, I work daytime hours during the week, so I’m best suited to pets who are comfortable being left alone during my working hours. I stay overnight and keep their routine calm and consistent with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Midday check-ins or toilet breaks may sometimes be possible for nearby bookings, by prior arrangement.

Calm & reliable care

Pet care experience

Lifetime dog & cat caregiver and dog dad to Mylo. I use positive reinforcement and always focus on building trust, confidence, and a calm routine, whether I’m caring for an energetic dog, a senior pet, or a shy cat. I have experience with senior pets, medication routines, shy cats, and dogs with different energy levels and personalities. My care is calm, structured, and tailored to each pet, with walks, playtime, affection, and regular updates. My goal is always the same: a safe, relaxed, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and truly at home.

Hernan always does an amazing job looking after our cat Kia. He provides regular updates and photos and we can always see how happy and relaxed she is! We would definitely rebook Hernan in the future :)

Hernan was absolutely wonderful, and I would not hesitate to book with him again. My dog Leila is an older Boston Terrier who is very slow to warm up to new people and can be anxious outside of her normal routine, so finding the right sitter is incredibly important to me. From the very beginning, Hernan was thoughtful, transparent about his schedule, and clearly experienced with dogs who need patience and a calm approach. He took the time to do a meet and greet, asked good questions, and immediately made both of my dogs feel comfortable. During the house sit, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave me huge peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Leila felt safe and relaxed — she was eating normally, sleeping well, and settling in more each day. What really stood out was how conscientious and kind he was throughout the entire stay. He stayed flexible when my return flight was delayed due to weather, waited until I landed safely before leaving, and even washed the linens and tidied everything before he went. Communication was excellent the whole time. He has also since helped with walks for my other dog, handling leash reactivity calmly and responsibly, which I really appreciate. Hernan is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals — especially those who need a bit of extra understanding. I feel very lucky to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Hernan made us immediately feel at ease when we met him. He was very calm as warm to Teddy. He was extremely communicative and gave us regular updates and photos of his stay with Teddy. We always felt Teddy was in good safe hands with Hernan!
