Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

Information Miguel A. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know about your pet’s routine, temperament, and any specific needs or preferences they have. Please let me know about their feeding schedule, exercise habits, and whether they’re crate trained. It’s also important to know how your pet interacts with other animals, as this helps me plan their activities and ensure a safe environment. If your pet has any medical conditions, medications, or special care instructions, sharing those details is essential. This information helps me tailor their care and make their stay as comfortable and stress free as possible.

A typical day

typical day includes plenty of outdoor time in the fenced yard or walks for exercise and fresh air. Activities can include playing fetch if the dog knows how, running around, or practicing basic training commands to reinforce good behavior. Depending on their comfort level, pets can enjoy supervised playtime with my dogs or relax in their own designated space. Evenings wind down with quiet time, cuddles, or a final walk or yard visit before settling in for the night. Each day is tailored to the pet’s needs and energy level, ensuring they feel happy and well cared for.

I was nervous because my dog's regular Rover sitter wasn't available and I'm very protective over my dog. She's a big girl and kind of an aloof dog and she doesn't like a lot of chaos :) I did a meet and greet with Miguel and his lovely wife and I felt comfortable enough to leave her while I was on vacation for 4.5 days. He was great at keeping me updated on how she was doing and reiterated that they were letting her go at her own pace and not forcing interactions with their dogs. I was happy that after a few days she warmed up and seemed happy to be around them. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in an experienced dog sitter's hands. I appreciated him understanding not all dogs are playful or boisterous and sometimes my dog definitely just wants to chill. I will absolutely use him again so that Ocean can continue to get used to them and it's so nice to have 2 different environments now that my dog can be in, and I can have peace of mind knowing that I won't have to scramble for a sitter nor have to worry no matter where she is. Thank you Miguel for being so great with my baby!!

Miguel was great! My dog loved spending time with him. He was wonderful with daily updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I received cute pictures and videos of my dog every day, which made me so happy. Definitely a 5-star experience—I would absolutely book with him again!
