Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine exactly — same feeding times, same walks, same rules — so everything feels familiar and safe. I have no pets of my own, which is ideal for animals that do best in a calm, one-on-one environment. Doors and gates are always secured, pets are never left unattended in unfamiliar spaces, and I send daily photo and message updates. You'll always know your pet is safe — and your home is in good hands. I'm reliable, respectful, and treat every home as if it were my own.

Information Ismael R. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet's age, any medical conditions or recent health history, their daily routine (feeding times, walk schedule, any medications), and any behavioral quirks I should know about. Also let me know their favorite toys, how they do with strangers, and any house rules they're used to. The more detail the better — I want their time with me to feel completely seamless.

A typical day

Mornings start with a walk or play session — at your pet's pace, not a schedule. During the day they're right beside me as I work: never crated, never isolated. They get dedicated playtime, outdoor breaks, enrichment, and plenty of calm togetherness. In the afternoon: another walk, feeding time as usual, more outdoor time. Evenings wind down gently, just like home. I send photos throughout the day so you can see exactly how they're doing. The goal is simple: your pet shouldn't feel like they're somewhere else.

Pet care experience

Your home will be in better shape than when you left — guaranteed. I grew up surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, the beautiful chaos of both. Pets weren't a hobby in my household; they were the heartbeat of every day. I recently said goodbye to Chiti, my 16-year-old dog. She taught me that presence is the greatest gift you can give a living being. That's the standard I bring into every home I care for. I'm a writer and coach who works entirely from home — which means your pet has near-constant human company all day, every day. No empty house. No pet waiting by the door alone. What you can expect from me: • Daily photos and updates — you'll feel like you never left • The same feeding times, walks, and rules your pet already knows • A calm, quiet environment (I meditate and practice yoga daily — animals notice immediately) • A spotless home when you return • Bilingual communication — English and Spanish I'm an experienced, verified house sitter with 5-star reviews from TrustedHousesitters, where I cared for homes and pets across multiple stays. I have my own transportation and treat every home I stay in with the same care I'd want for my own. Your home won't be empty. Your pet won't be lonely. And when you return, both will be exactly as you left them — just a little more loved. I serve the entire South Florida area with my own car: Pompano Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and surrounding communities.
