Highlights
Pet care experience
A safe, personalized, boutique exp.
Your dog’s home-away-from-home—where they feel safe and loved. I offer small-scale boarding (not a kennel). This is a great option for pet parents seeking a safer alternative to kennels. Training-informed, positive-reinforcement environment. Deep experience with rescue, reactive, separation anxiety and other special-needs dogs who require a calm home environment. Home atmosphere + constant human presence. My home is quiet with a front yard that feels like you're in a small forest. Good vibes all around. I'm truly an all-around dog lover, and I and have a passion for saving, fostering, and boarding if it means a happier life for a dog and his/her human. I've had a passion for caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I've rescued several dogs from a high-kill shelter and fostered them until we found a forever home. I currently work closely with a couple of dog rescues that help find fosters or adopters for high-energy dogs in overcrowded shelters, once they've gone through an evaluation stage and the necessary training. I have dog training knowledge, and I'm also trained in dog psychology. My goal is to work with service dogs and get them ready for their new human. I have experience working with extra large breeds as well as the cute, tiny ones. I also have experience with special need dogs who require medication, If you have a special needs dog, I have experience in: Oral medication administration Injected medication administration Senior dog experience Special needs dog experience

Ratings and reviews
Luis was very helpful. He sent updates throughout the day. Will definitely rebook!
Luis was very responsive and took great care of our dog!
Would definitely book again! Luis gave us frequent updates on our boys and they came back super relaxed
Luis is absolutely wonderful. I feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs with him knowing that they will be well taken care of. Highly recommend him
Second time booking with Luis! It was Ruby’s first overnight without family and I have never felt so safe and comfortable. Luis always sends great updates and we’re so grateful that he’s a great caretaker for Ruby!
I couldn't be happier with Luis. My German Sheppard, 9 months old, is a bit anxious that can lead to reactive aggression. I was a bit worried at first, being our first time, but quickly, she started showing signs of feeling comfortable with Luis. His energy is very calm, confident and friendly. After having spent two days with him, Luis was able to playfully grab her and give her affection. I was blown away how relaxed she was with him. I highly recommend his services.

Schedule
I currently work part time from my home office and tend to my plants which allows me plenty of time to devote to your furry family member. I enjoy time at home, painting, reading, cooking, gardening, playing my congas or simply relaxing in front of the television. I enjoy caring for pets as if they were my own, which means getting to know their personalities and what they like to do for fun. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. A possible daily routine: A morning walk or let them roam the yard (depends on the owners choice), followed by breakfast and some loving. Afternoon time consists of potty breaks and some play time in the yard or indoors and some afternoon treats for everyone before they nap. I have plenty of room for your pet to run around or just lounge. I don't have any pets (as I have been fostering) or children, and there's very little to nothing that your pet could get into.

Safety, trust & environment
My house is secured and all the windowns and doors will remain secured while your pet is visiting. My yard has a five and a half foot fence and it's secured all the way around. I have grassy areas to play and lounge out in the sun. If I'm pet sitting at your location, I will follow the list of do's and don't and will always treat your home with respect.
