Pet care experience

Animals love me, I love them.

I come from a family rooted in the farmlands of Chile, where we’ve always cherished the company of dogs and cats. Amid New York’s fast-paced days, I genuinely enjoy the calm of walking your dog or welcoming your cat into my apartment. I’ll care for your pet as if it were part of my own family, offering them love, attention, and a safe space.

Mauricio took great care of my pup. Communication was great and always fast responses. He sent daily pictures and updates, so I was very thankful. Booker was in good hands during the long weekend. I highly recommend Mauricio!

Schedule

I’m an artist and ballet dancer who sometimes needs a break from the studio and rehearsals. I’ve been looking for meaningful extra income, and caring for animals feels like the perfect fit. My family comes from the farmlands of Chile, so I’ve always grown up surrounded by dogs and cats. Now, living in an apartment surrounded by parks and in a family- and animal-friendly space, I’m happy to welcome your cat or take your dog for a walk, giving them love, care, and attention as if they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious 800-square-foot loft apartment in Tribeca, surrounded by parks and in a family- and animal-friendly environment. My space is calm, clean, and fully adaptable to welcome pets, whether it’s a playful dog or a quiet cat. I’m very attentive to their needs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while staying in my home. Ideally, I’d welcome dogs that aren’t too loud to avoid disturbing neighbors, but I’m happy to discuss and check in advance.

A typical day

Walk, run, pet him, play. And hugs. Exercise at home, stretching, workout, abdominals. When I’m not dancing outside I’m working in the computer will love to have a pet companion.
