Pet care experience

Happy Dogs, Happy Owners!

Hi! I’m Marcelo, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Having owned dogs my entire life and volunteered at animal shelters, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is a playful puppy full of energy, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or anything in between, I’m committed to providing personalized care that fits their needs. What you can expect when booking with me: Dependable and attentive care Plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection Detailed updates and photos during visits Fast response times and reliable communication Bilingual service in English and Spanish I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My goal is to provide peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks based on each pet's needs. I also make sure the home is secure before leaving and keep pet parents updated with photos and a visit summary. Having owned dogs my entire life and volunteered at animal shelters, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Although I currently focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
