Pet care experience

Experienced & Loving Pet Owner!

With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets.

Miguel was so friendly and thorough! Sent pictures and videos even during Ralphie’s short stay and was very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Will absolutely be using him again!

Great Sitter! We had such a great experience with Miguel and his wife! They took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay with interactive videos like seeing our Zuko rip and run around which gave us so much peace of mind and relief with seeing how much fun he had. It was clear that Zuko was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Miguel was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We really appreciated the pictures and updates and would definitely trust them with our dog again. Highly recommend! 5/5.

Miguel took the time to listen about Hudson’s needs during his day. They took pictures every day and sent me videos. They were great. He was in a good environment and his home is definitely dog friendly. I would recommend them anytime. I’ll be using them again in the near future.

Schedule

As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection.

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.

Pets

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.

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.
