I am currently a part-time college student. My schedule may vary from semester to semester. However, I would still have time to watch over your furry friend. It won’t only be me who will be watching your dog. It would also be my family as well. They have been helping me from the start. There would also be someone here with your dog, even if I’m home with classes or running quick errands. I can promise you that I don’t leave them unattended. I would have time to walk them every day and give them plenty of exercise. If you have any questions or concerns about my schedule, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions.

About Roberto D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The way I care for pets at my home is the same as if they were my own. We are a loving, dog-oriented family and love dogs dearly. I show them the utmost love when caring for any dogs. I live in a friendly neighborhood where I can safely walk your dog. There are trails for them if they enjoy a nice walk or even a short walk on the sidewalk; I'm happy to do that. Many other pet owners live in my neighborhood, so dogs can meet other friendly dogs and new people along the way. If you have a reactive dog, I have worked with many reactive dogs during my time boarding them, and I am especially careful when walking them around my neighborhood keeping them away from other dogs. I also want to mention that I have a backyard. I take them out back to play, or if they need to go outside and do their business, I'll let them out. I never leave them unattended when they're outside. There is usually someone out there watching over them, whether it's me — usually it's me — or someone in my family. If you’d like to see my home or backyard, we can definitely schedule a meet-and-greet. This will help you feel comfortable leaving your pets with my family and me when you’re planning your trip.

Information Roberto D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Whatever the needs or behavior may be I'll make sure to tend to them. Thank you in advance.
A typical day
A typical day with the dogs I watch would include walking around the neighborhood, giving them a chance to explore and smell their new surroundings. I would explore the neighborhood until they are satisfied. When I take them out back to play, I have toys for them to play with. I would play fetch with them if they know how to play, and if not, that's okay as well. We would run around until they are exhausted and then take them back inside. Either way, we would be running around a lot. I have also dealt with a lot of low-energy dogs that would just want to sleep all day. I would take them on a quick walk and once they are satisfied they would usually take me back home and we would chill in the living room. That's how the whole day would mostly be like together. Throughout the day I'll send pictures for you to see.

Flexible dog sitter
Pet care experience
I have taken care of all sorts of dogs for neighbors, friends, and family who have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their dogs. I have had pets when I was younger and have been pet-sitting for a couple of years now.
Reviews
Roberto took great care of our dogs. He sent us regular updates and gave them medications that we had instructions for. Thanks so much!
Outstanding job looking after our senior rescue dog who is very shy and introverted. They carefully give him his medicines, food, and take him on gentle walks. Excellent communication and extremely mindful of the heat.
Roberto was a great dog sitter! Bella started off a bit shy but really warmed up to Roberto. It’s not always easy to get Bella to take her meds but Roberto did. I’d recommend Roberto 100%
Roberto was always quick to respond to messages, was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, and sent us great pictures of our dog every day. Our dog had a great time and we would definitely board here again!
