Pet care experience

Dog-crazy family, large fenced yard

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.

Once again, Margarida, David and Elliot were fantastic hosts for Bosco. He was so excited to visit, and I knew he was surrounded by love while I was traveling. Thank you again!

Margarida and David (and Elliot!) provided such a wonderful home away from home for Bosco while I was traveling. They were so good about sending updates and pictures. I felt so much better on my trip knowing he was getting love and had a huge yard to run around in. Bosco is usually a sweetie but can be a real handful—I really appreciated how well Margarida knew how to handle his food resource guarding issues.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large fully-fenced yard with a wooded area so there is a lot to explore. We are used to walking our own dog 3 times per day and are close to nice trails. We also have plenty of space in the house. We have a teenager son who is be the perfect play/chill out buddy. Fear not: our spa pool (large hot tub) has steps and is secure for pets.
