Dog-crazy family, large fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs. Caring for yours will be my pleasure. We have owned and cared for Human’s best friends from puppies to seniors. Our own dog is the happiest dog in the World and he gets along with all other dogs. We have a beautiful fenced yard with lots to sniff and explore. Get ready for the Ultimutt vacation stay! We speak English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and dog.

Ghost is always excited when he sees he is coming to Margarida and David's house. They take great care of him, and Elliot is a great companion. They are my first choice when we need a pet sitter.
