Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care when you're not there.
I have taken care of dogs for over 15 years! I consider myself a full time sitter who enjoys group play and socialization. I usually watch multiple dogs at once. I truly want my career path to involve in taking care of dogs. I've helped watch dogs for my family and friends throughout my life. I also have a few clients from past jobs that requested me if I can continue to watch their dogs. I have pet sat dogs for the day and overnight. I have done every service type from house sittings to check-ins. I also do dog walks and even taxi dogs for my clients. I used to worked at a dog daycare and had to watch over 30 dogs at once by myself! But at the moment, I'm only focusing on providing daycare and overnight boarding service at my place. I have cared for all sorts of dogs, from puppies to seniors and small dogs to big dogs. As well as special needs dogs too. I will always do my best to not turn down any dog that comes my way and will also do my best to take care of them while you're away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ruben did a fantastic job with communicating and giving updates with photos while watching my dog! He also did an amazing job making me know my dog was in good hands. Could not recommend more!
Ruben is really special! He truly enjoys caring for dogs. He took the best care of our boy Simba! Will be booking again with him!
Ruben was absolutely wonderful with my dog! I needed care on fairly short notice, and he went out of his way to accommodate us. He was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up, stayed in regular contact with me, and posted tons of photos throughout her stay. It was so reassuring to be able to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Ruben was attentive and genuinely caring. His communication was excellent from beginning to end, and I never had to wonder how she was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is a big deal, especially when traveling, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her with Ruben. I’m incredibly grateful for his flexibility, communication, and the wonderful care he gave her. I would absolutely leave her with Ruben again and highly recommend him!
Ruben was so kind, flexible and accommodating. You can tell he loves dogs and really cares about each one that he watches. He gave excellent updates and it was great to know that Sancho was so well taken care of!
Our pup had a great day with Ruben (and Yuki)! Super understanding of our dog’s needs and personality, and it’s clear he cares so much for every dog individually.
Thoughtful and attentive care of our dear dog!

Schedule
I left a dog daycare company to become a caregiver to my parents so I have a pretty open schedule. I consider myself to be a full time sitter so I'm very flexible with my scheduling and will always try to make your drop off and pick up times as convenient as possible for you! Also if you would like to do a meet and greet prior to booking the best days would be on Sundays or Mondays but I can also be flexible for other days as well. If your dog isn't neutered, I myself will ask for a meet and greet before confirming the booking.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two family home where my family members live in both floors. I'm able to accommodate several dogs at once. I allow them to be on my bed and furniture. I also have a pretty big fenced backyard where they can run around and play. I have 3 very friendly dogs, a Yorkiepoo, a Chorkie, and a Siberian Husky! Since I usually take care of several dogs at a time, I always make safety my top priority when it comes to your dogs and mine where I can easily separate dogs if needed. My guarantee to you is that your dog will never be unsupervised while they are under my care. I'll always provide updates through texts, phone calls, and emails, whichever is your preferred method.

A typical day
I'll show your dog a great time! As I mentioned before, I'm the type of sitter whose big on group play and socialization! I usually follow a schedule to help me with my play groups. I normally take the dogs outside to play in the backyard three to four times a day where everyone can run around and play together and then we can rest back up inside. I do have an established play group with daily and weekly regulars. So the dogs under my care are usually very close to one another. And they are very welcoming when a new dog comes to joins the group! The dogs under my care will never feel lonely when they're with me. We'll always have fun in the house and in the backyard. I'll make sure they are fed and have plenty of water. I'm able to provide walks as well. I'll make them feel safe and comfortable while they need to go do potty, getting ready to sleep, and when they are relaxing as well. I will always treat your dogs as my own!

- Let me know if your dog have any special requirements. I can be very accommodating to whatever your dog needs and will do my best to make sure they feel comfortable at my place. Working with Rover for a couple years, I have noticed that some owners and the dogs themselves aren't comfortable with being around other dogs so please let me know if you and your dog are comfortable around multiple dogs, if not, I probably won't be a good fit for you as a sitter. I'm experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs with disabilities and special needs dogs. I have taken care of dogs of varying temperaments from dogs who prefer to be alone to very social and energetic dogs. I'm also experienced in taking care of puppies and senior dogs. I can administer any medicine they need as well.
