Seven years ago, we left Argentina to travel the world as petsitters and housesitters, caring for over 100 furry friends across various countries. Now, we've settled into our own home and are excited to welcome new pets.
We offer a range of services, including dog walking, daycare, and housesitting. Your dog can even stay overnight at our cozy loft. Mel works from home as an HR admin, so your pets will always have company and attention throughout the day.
Services We Offer:
Dog Walking: We offer two walks per day, each lasting around 30 minutes.
Daycare: Pets are supervised constantly and cannot be left alone for more than 1 hour.
Dog Boarding: Pets can stay overnight in our home, and we ensure they are not left alone for longer than 3 hours.
Medication Administration: We can administer medication to pets if needed.
Grooming and Training: While we do not offer professional grooming or training services, we can provide basic care and reinforcement of good behavior.
Our Home and Environment:
Living Space: We live in a cozy loft with an outdoor patio for playtime. Inside, pets can relax on our big sofa or share our large bed.
Outdoor Access: We are located near several parks, perfect for long walks, and just ten minutes away from the beach, providing ample opportunities for fun and exercise.
Supervision: Mel works from home, ensuring that pets are supervised 24/7.
Guest Pets: We can care for up to two pets at the same time, ensuring each pet receives ample attention and care.
Sleeping Arrangements: Guest pets are allowed to sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether on the sofa, in our bed, or their own bed if provided.
Additional Information:
Routine: Pet care is integrated into our daily routine, with Mel providing constant companionship and attention.
Availability: We are available full-time to take care of your pets, with flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs.
Home Residents: The only residents in our home are Mel and Hernan, ensuring a calm and consistent environment for your pets.
We promise to give your pets all the care and attention they deserve. We can't wait to meet new furry companions and create beautiful memories together in our cozy loft.

Melisa and her partner are great. They looked after our dog while we were away for a month and I would use them again.

Mel and Hernan were fantastic hosts for Cookie. They surpassed our expectations of dog sitters and did a great job of looking after her and by keeping us informed with photos etc. We would definitely recommend them and will look forward to engaging them again when needed.
