Pet care experience

The best quality care for your pets

I have a little orange cat and three dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages in my home. I also recently had one of my senior pups cross the Rainbow Bridge. My pets are my kids, and I would do anything to ensure they receive the best care possible when I’m away from them. I understand how much anxiety goes into choosing someone to look after them and then wondering if you made the right choice. Rest assured, that with me you are working with someone who has spent his whole life care for his own pets as well as other people’s pets. Over the years I’ve gained experience in senior dog care, palliative care, puppy and kitten care, adult dog and cat care, dog walking, pet sitting, large group daycare, and bottle feeding and administering medication. I take pet care extremely seriously because animals matter to me and I know how much your care about your by virtue of you being here. Although I don’t feel comfortable quite yet in labeling myself a dog trainer, I’m on a journey to become one someday as well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my client’s home, I care for their pets in the way that they request. That’s why meet and greets are so important so we can go over all the details of what you want to see in terms of caring for your pet. I always do my best to follow instructions to a tee and will read anything you leave or send me.

Dog Walking • Aug 03, 2026

Ignacio is great. He was on time, followed all directions, gave detailed notes after every walk, let me know if there were any issue (my dog has stomach/digestion issues), was very communicative, and my dog really likes him. I highly recommend!

Ignacio did a great job with Tank! Ignacio communicated with me throughout the visits with Tank and did a great job. I will definitely use him again and recommend to family and friends.

This is my second time booking Ignacio for my 2 cats and I will be booking again for sure! He takes care of them extremely well and follows directions for taking care of them and even went above and beyond to cat proof my house.

He is always there for me even when I have a last minute schedule. Anouk is pretty particular. But they get along well:

Ignacio did an incredible job caring for our pets. He was flexible with last minute booking and did a great job at communicating. He made sure our pets were as comfortable as possible with 4th of July fireworks.

Schedule

Pet care is my full time job. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be able to do this for a living because I truly love my work. I work every day, so as long as I have availability, we can make a schedule work. All I ask is that you understand that I do have several clients, so I need some flexibility to align everyone’s schedules and to plan accordingly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Ignacio can host up to 24 drop-ins per day
The most important thing for me to know about your pets ahead of time is any medical issues or allergies. I will never give them any food or treats unless it’s provided directly by you or has been explicitly cleared by you to give them. I always err on the side of caution to make sure your furbaby is safe and well taken care of. I would also need to know if there’s any form of aggression whatsoever, not to disqualify you from care, but to make sure there are no incidents with either me or other pets in my care. For example, food or resource guarding is a very important thing for me to know to keep everyone safe. Some pups even get a little defensive with attention, so I need to know that as well. Knowing their schedule and routine is also very helpful to keep them comfortable and to reduce anxiety. There are many things we can go over at a meet and greet and I have been called thorough before, which I absolutely agree with. I take my job very seriously, so hopefully that comes across here!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
