Pet care experience

Cuddles & Care—Work From Home

What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals, combined with my responsible and attentive approach to pet care. I grew up in a home filled with pets, including dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters, which gave me a strong foundation in caring for a variety of animals from a young age. As I got older, I became more actively responsible for caring for our family’s dog, which helped me develop a deeper understanding of dog behavior, training, and individual needs. I have experience with caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, which has given me skills in gentle handling, basic training, and special care for older pets, such as medication administration and comfort measures. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and requirements. What truly sets me apart is my personal background, combined with my work-from-home routine, allowing me to dedicate ample time and attention to the pets I care for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, happiness, and well-being. Whether it’s providing extra cuddles, structured walks, or following detailed instructions, I am committed to creating a positive, nurturing environment for your furry family member.

Rodrigo is the best. He is considerate, accommodating, and sends great pictures and updates. My dog Curtis loves visiting for doggy daycare and extended stays.

Rodrigo is really responsive and takes really good care of Nilo every single time he stays over. He gets along really well with Luna. Highly recommended.

Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home and already have a well-established schedule for caring for my own dog, Luna. I take her out regularly for walks and trips to the dog park, which helps keep her happy, active, and well-socialized. This routine allows me to be highly attentive to any other dogs I care for, providing consistent exercise, playtime, and companionship. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, follow your instructions closely, and ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care is a priority for me, and I make sure it’s integrated naturally into my daily life to give your dog the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my own dog, Luna, who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. I have a crate available if needed, and I’m happy to use it to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close and attentive eye on your dog throughout the day, providing companionship, playtime, and care as needed. I also have cameras set up so I can monitor your dog even if I need to step out briefly, ensuring they’re always supervised. I’m committed to following all your specific instructions to make sure your dog’s routine is maintained and their needs are met. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or any special requirements, I’ll follow your guidance carefully, especially when caring for your dog at your home. Rest assured, I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while providing a loving and responsible environment.
