Pet care experience

Love, Attention, and Belly Rubs

I’ve been caring for dogs for 9 years, starting with my own dog and then helping care for pets in my family. Over the years, I’ve really grown to love spending time with dogs, whether we’re playing, hanging out, or giving them plenty of love and attention. At my home, dogs have a safe, big, green backyard with plenty of room to run and play, plus a large living area for indoor fun, relaxing, and belly rubs on those rainy days. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, comfortable, and right at home!

Ismael was very attentive and caring with Kylo and he sent us updates throughout his stay. This was a last minute request and he was able to accommodate. Very grateful for that.

Ismael has been my pet sitter for my doggie, Kylo, for a couple of years now. He is loving, caring & very attentive of Kylo. He treats him as his own. He gives us updates & is very communicative on how Kylo's stay is going. I trust him 100% to take good care of any pet left in his care and know that he will love them as much as he loves his own doggie. Highly recommend him. An added plus is he has a big yard for the doggies to run around in.

Ismael is wonderful with our two Maltipoos, Sasha and Max, who truly are our babies. When we need to be away for long hours or for the day, it gives us such peace of mind knowing they can stay comfortable in their own home with someone we trust. Ismael is truly a dog whisperer! He is patient, caring, takes the time to play with them, and makes sure they get their walks and plenty of attention. You can tell he is a genuine dog person and really enjoys being with them. We feel so lucky to have him nearby, and I know Sasha and Max appreciate him just as much as we do! 🐾❤️
