Responsible & Dependable Care!

Pet care experience

Hi! Larissa and I are life-long pet lovers in the DC area with lots of experience growing up around pets all our lives. My family always had both dogs and cats growing up in Alabama and Larissa always had dogs and cats in Brazil before moving to the US. Together, we adopted two "kids" during the pandemic - Dia (a large, black pit-lab mix) and Noche (a sweet house cat) - that we love and spoil endlessly. We have experience with large dogs and small, old and young. My late Jack Russel Terrier, Figaro developed diabetes and required daily insulin injections twice a day before passing away a few years back, so I also have some experience administering medication We have used Rover on numerous occasions for our own pets (some good and some bad), so we know dependability and reliability are critical when it comes to providing quality care. If you leave a pet or pets with us, you can be sure we will care for them like one of our own!

Nicholas and Carolina were great with Mr. Wonton! They sent us photo updates and Mr. Wonton loved his stay. Definitely recommend!

Nicholas did a great job with Harry. He was flexible, responsive and super easy to coordinate with. He also sent us photos throughout the weekend so we knew that Harry was comfortable and having a good time. We will definitely reach out to him again!

Nicholas and Carolina took very good care of Myles. He was very comfortable with them. I will use them again at the next opportunity.

Nicholas and Carolina were very flexible and easy to coordinate with. I felt relaxed and confident while I was away that my pup was in good care with them!

Safety, trust & environment

Trust is the single most important part of any relationship between clients and their sitters/caretakers. Larissa and I have been burned by inattentive and/or undependable sitters before, so we take the responsibility of caring for other people's pets VERY seriously. We will adhere to any special instructions you provide for your pets' care and will treat every pet like one of our own.

Information Nicholas & Larissa A. would like to know about your pet

Does the pet have any triggers? Are there any dietary preferences or special needs? Does the pet have any favorite toys? I would also want to know the mealtime and playtime routine(s) of any pet I'm caring for and would note any special instructions the client has for me.

A typical day

I am very active, so any dog in my care can look forward to walks in the neighborhood or trips to any favorite dog parks. Larissa and I often take Dia to Anacostia park to play and let her run around. We also have a car, so travel is no problem.
