Hi, I’m Federico! Dogs have been part of my life since I was eight, and over the years I’ve shared my home with three wonderful Boxers—playful, strong-willed and always full of character.

Most recently, I said goodbye to my beloved Boxer, Numa, who passed away due to a heart condition. I miss her dearly, but caring for her taught me just how much love, patience and attention a dog needs, especially when they have health concerns.

I work full-time from home as a building designer, so I have plenty of flexibility to give my guests company and care throughout the day. I live with my partner in a two-bedroom house in Curl Curl, with a lovely enclosed garden where dogs can relax and explore. We’re just one block from Adam Street Dog Park and two blocks from Curl Curl Beach and the dog-friendly reserve at Dee Why, so there are plenty of nearby options for walks, fresh air and adventures.

I’m especially happy caring for older dogs and have looked after Cody, a grumpy-but-lovable 15-year-old Maltese, and Harry, a gentle 16-year-old Labradoodle who needed a little extra patience and attention. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog and follow their usual routines so they can feel comfortable and at home.

For everyone’s safety, I only welcome vaccinated pets into my home. I’d love to hear about your dog and how I can help care for them—as if they were part of my own family.
