Pet care experience

Easy, Breezy, and not too Busy

For about 7 years now, I am the one my friends and family trust to take care of their pets whenever they are away from home. I provide whatever necessary care is needed for each pet including walking , feeding , playing, giving meds & supplements, or cleaning out litter boxes. I grew up with dogs and cats. Read so many books on pet care and training and I also have experience working with deaf dogs. I am a CODA (son of deaf parents) so I grew up learning sign language. My first job was walking multiple dogs in my neighborhood. I love teaching puppies how to do tricks like speaking on command, sitting, shaking, and fetching. When I care for someone’s pet I treat them like they are my own. With lots of love, fun, and structure as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

The neighborhood I live in is very peaceful and it’s comfortable to walk dogs around my home. There’s a nice park right across the street with lots of space to explore. I keep my home a nice cool temperature and monitor how the pets I care for are doing. If I am caring for someone’s pet at their home, I follow the care directions given to me and respect any boundaries given. My primary goal is to make sure your pet is properly taken care of and happy!

Hugo was very caring, communicative and conscientious! Took great care of our dogs. Especially since our little Beagle had a panic attack due to fireworks. We will be calling him again!

Hugo was amazing! We were able to book him super last minute and he was so great with Topsy - who seemed to absolutely love him. Hugo has really nice and calm energy that I think our fur child really loved. 10/10 would book again!!

Dog Walking • Feb 26, 2025

It’s difficult for my pup to trust and let you walk him if it’s not me. As soon as my dog met Hugo, he was ecstatic to meet him. Hugo has great energy. It’s calming and patient. Exactly what my child needs since he’s very stubborn lol. Hugo even convinced my pup to eat his breakfast after his walk (he didn’t want to eat the day before because I was out of town and being a sad boy). Thanks Hugo! Will definitely book him again!

Hugo did a great job taking care of our two dogs. He was very attentive and sent us photos and videos every day. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for someone who will take good care of your dogs while you are away.

Best dog/house sitter we have ever had. Hugo is the kindest man and so gentle with our rescue pups. He sent us multiple videos and photos daily and was always in touch. We returned home to our house in impeccable condition. Our dogs clearly did not miss us as they were so well cared for!

Hugo has a special way with animals that is truly remarkable. My cats adore his presence and feel completely at ease when he is around. Hugo's exceptional communication skills, patience, responsibility, and genuine care for animals make him the perfect candidate to be a loving and trustworthy pet sitter.

Schedule

I’m fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule as an actor and do virtual auditions and remote content so I am home a lot. This gives me the opportunity to give pets the attention they need whether that’s walking them, playing with them, or even training them to do a trick (teaching dogs commands is usually easier with pups).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Hugo can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Feel free to reach out with any questions. I am flexible and very mindful about your pet’s health and needs. I’m happy to provide special care of your pet and make sure they are safe and at ease while you are away from home.
