About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs, reliable, attentive, and experienced, with updates and affection to keep them happy, safe, and stress free. I had a miniature dachshund for 18 years and because of her I learned a lot about taking care of dog a with special needs, allergies, and medication. I’ve cared for friends’ and coworkers’ dogs over the years, and I treat each one like family, with patience, love, and kindness. I have a very flexible schedule and I love to be active and will ensure your pets get the love and attention they deserve every day. I create a safe, calm environment in my home or yours, following your pets routines, providing play, walks, cuddles, and consistent care adapted for each pet.

About: I am a huge animal lover. My family and I are big on rescuing animals so we have always had several dogs and cats in the house ranging from teacup poodles to labradors. I have stayed overnight at friends, family, and coworkers homes to take care of their pets. I have 5 years of experience in overnight boarding since my parents own a dog grooming business. I am looking forward to being your pets new best friend. They are in good hands! I work from home Wednesday through Thursday for daycare boarding. I am also available over the weekends for overnight boarding. Whatever your needs are,let me know! If your pet will be at my home, there are two cats that are acclimated to dogs and are very friendly. If you need the dog to be in a crate, please let me know and that’s something we can work out. Otherwise they will be allowed to roam freely onto the couch or bed for cuddles as they please. I will take them on daily walks and feed them based on their schedule. If I will be caring for your pet at your home, I will follow whatever your pet is used to in terms of walking, feeding, being in the crate, or being on furniture.

Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities when caring for pets.

“This is my second time using Ricardo and Carlos to check in on my cat when out of town and just as last time they provided excellent service. Very quick to respond to any messages and provided nice daily photos of the visit. I highly recommend using them.”

We provide 3 walks that help get the pet relaxed and entertained. Our 2 dogs are trained and are social which is great to keep companionship and playfulness.

About: Llevo cuidando perros hace más de 15 años, el amor que tengo por los perros lo he tenido desde que era pequeña. Siempre me importa que el animal esté seguro y feliz. Estoy disponible casi todos los días de la semana, a cada hora. Aveces no estoy disponible así que requiere anticipación pero la mayoría del tiempo estoy disponible. Mi casa es muy segura, los perros están separados y sacados a pasear por separado en la comunidad de mi casa, si la mascota toma medicina se la dará acorde las instrucciones de el dueño.

About: I had two dogs when I was younger. Half a decade ago, I trained and volunteered at the Miami-Dade Animal Shelter, where I recieved extensive dog walking training and experience with dogs off all breeds and sizes. At the shelter, we needed to also learn different animal behavior, and this helped me a lot in noting when dogs don't want to be bothered, signs of stress, etc. I've worked with dogs of every kind: large, small, senior, puppies, ones with little socialization, with behavioral issues, etc. I've been trusted my my friends and family to take care of their pets. Overall, you'll find a loving, experienced, and reliable pet owner with me. I am currently unemployed, as I've been studying for an entrance exam throughout this summer. I am available at any time, any day that I am needed. I will ensure that your pet will stay within the areas in which you'd want them to be. Whether your pet is kept outside or inside, I'll make sure I'll crate them when you'd like me to, and overall keep them safe wherever they are.

About: I’ve had a couple years of experience taking care a variety of pets including dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I’ve also taken care of pets of all ages! Currently im a university student with a range of availability for your pets. I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays to take care of your pets. On Sundays I will need a minimum of 3 days in advance to schedule. I have two dogs and a crested gecko. For my dogs they are walked 2-3 times a day, play with them, bathe them, take them on mini fieldtrips. For my crested gecko, her tank is misted 2-3 times a day depending on the humidity level, she is fed daily as of right now since she is still very young, im aware of her day/night cycle.

About: Growing up around animals, I've come to understand how to handle any kind of situation. From sudden aggression to playful sprints, when it comes to our personality diverse family members I am a friend to all When it comes to animals, its always best to give them the attention they deserve. They aren't toys to play with and then cast aside, they are a responsibility just as newly born child would be. Respect the house rules and give the pet my undivided attention. These basic rules ensure that both the pet and I have a grand time

Let me tell you he's been the happiest ever since my sister left (as I mentioned, I couldn't spend time with him because of work) every time I dropped him off, he wiggle his tail at the door so that was a good sign. I recommend her with my eyes closed. I am glad my puppy has been greatly taken care of!”
