Dog loving opera singer

Pet care experience

Growing up I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs both in my home and neighborhood. After moving to Miami in 2014 I wasn’t able to keep dogs in any of my apartments so I turn to walking/sitting. Three families now come to me for regular dog sitting service as well as my dog owning friends. I’ve got experience working with every sort of breed, from Yorkie to Border Collie to lovable mutts alike! Several of the dogs I watch are seniors with specific medicines/care routines as well so I’m no stranger to assisted feedings.

Lovell took great care of our 2 Labs, along with our cat. He kept in touch during our short trip and sent us looks of pictures, which was especially appreciated.

Safety, trust & environment

As mentioned above, my apartment is not suitable for dog ownership but I am available to stay with the animals in your home if you want overnight companionship. I always meet with owners before hand to go over whatever boundaries and reservations you have, and will always be respectful of your wishes. The safety of both you and your pets is paramount, they’re your babies!

Information Lovell R. would like to know about your pet

In the home, first and foremost it’s best to have an idea of the dog’s routine. When do they get up usually, when do they eat, how much do they eat, are there any special dietary needs, what parts of the house are off-limits, basically what can I do to best make it seem like the original owners never left? When it comes to taking them out in public it’s also important to know their training level, how they act on the leash, Comfort level around other dogs/strangers while on walks, and what I should keep in mind so that there the puppy’s walk is a fun and safe as can be!

A typical day

Lots of play time, lots of cuddles, and tug of war until one of our arms fall off! While on walks I usually let the dog lead the way since they know the route better than I do, but always on the path and away from cars. If they’re alright with a car ride I like taking them to the David T Kennedy dog park in coconut grove, it’s always a great spot. The south Miami dog park is good if they are not as social as well.
