Pet care experience
Growing up with my grandparents exposed me to a variety of blessings. One of which I’m most thankful for is allowing me to develop a deep connection with animals. Growing up on a farm in my early years, I became obsessed with all and any furry friends I came across. As I got older, I moved to the city and ultimately had to leave my grandparents and my feathery and furry friends behind. I was not allowed to bring or own any pets in the apartment then and would sneak all the strays whenever my parents were away at work or asleep. I built a shelter for strays in my yard and always left out food and water for them. I started looking into ways to engage more with animals as it was the only thing that brought me absolute joy. So at the age of 14, I volunteered at a shelter for the very first time. I learned to properly clean and look after cats and dogs, mostly with anxiety and special needs. I would eagerly go every day after school to see my furry friends until, one day, they had to close down for good. Being 16 and with some references and experience from helping at the shelter, I made my way around the neighborhood introducing myself to everyone I saw with a pet. For some time, I was booked with dog walking and overnight sitting almost every day. I eventually came across a Dog walking & grooming business and worked there for 2 years. I was responsible for group walks, playing with all breeds and sizes of dogs, and ensuring safe play, feeding, and relief walks as needed. Safe to say, I’ve been taking care of animals almost all my life, and I’ll continue doing so with all I have to offer.
Reviews
Rudy is communicative caring and experienced. My Benji loves him so much! Strongly recommend!!!
I had to go on a vacation for a week and was worried about leaving my cat Kramer alone at home. But my worries were put to rest as soon as I met Rudy, who took care of Kramer while I was away. Rudy was amazing, he took care of Kramer's needs and made sure he was happy and comfortable. He played with him, fed him on time, and even sent me updates on how Kramer was doing. When I returned from my vacation, Kramer was in the best possible shape. I am grateful to Rudy for taking such good care of my beloved pet and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet-sitter.
Rudy is the best. He treated my dog so well. He came back rejuvenated. I will continue to use Rudy again and again. Thank You

Mi casa es su casa. My home is your home. I often treat my furry guests better than I do people, haha. While staying with me, your beloved pet will be treated as my own. There is full access to the entire apartment with endless affection, along with 24/7 supervision. I strive to make them feel as comfortable as possible and ensure they are to the closest thing to home.

A typical day
An early bird, so your pup or kitten does not need to wait for food, relief walk, medication, or anything else they require. I love playing catch and jogging with dogs. End the day with some belly rubs and a treat. For cats, I do my best to play with them as much or as little as they like, according to their personality.
