Pet care experience

It’s all about the vibe to care

Luipta, my Miniature Schnauzer and her Abyssinian Feline Brother Boris were my family until they crossed the rainbow at 9 and 23 years old. I was allergic to Boris at first but after 21 years with me Benadryl and grooming helped. Soon after came Tralfaz, a 6 month old Weimaraner that I moved homes various as he outgrew the pet restrictions all over until I bought my house. He graced me with 14 years of love. I thought I couldn’t bare another heartbeat and gave up having a pet family but as always ( rescued all my pet children) Stitch fell from heaven and now on his 2nd year with me, the little Frenchie adopted me as his.

Javier was patient and lovely. He was upbeat and kind. He took good care of our dog, took him to the park, loved him, gave him his medications, and shared his own dog which made a wonderful companion and playmate for our dog. 100% recommend this gentleman for dog sitting. We felt safe and relived with our pup in his care. Thank you Javier!

As dogs nature is to run in packs , it does take some discipline and separating at first. I will time out and isolate the aggressor but intigrate him/her after a pack walk. I work with 3 dogs at a time
