“Puppy launching” our specialty! Got a brand new puppy? Let us help launch him into good doggyhood with the constant attention, supervision, training and just plain loving we can show your new family member while you are out of town or at work all day.

Out of town? Working late? Can’t get home to smooch your pooch? Just give us a call and we’ll run over to walk and feed your dog and give him a little loving to hold him over until you return.

Hug-a-Dog Pet Care was started in 2002. Challenged to find reliable, in-home pet-sitting for their three dogs, the owners, Linda and Jorge Gonzalez, decided to create a pet care service which would address the needs of pet lovers in their neighborhood. Since then, Hug-a-Dog Pet Care has grown to a pack of over 200 satisfied pets and their owners. Our number one goal is to provide safe, secure, conscientious and loving care for your pets while you are away from them.

With years of experience in caring for our own and other’s pets, alertness to changes in eating habits and behavior in your pets, constant monitoring of the environment in your home and local weather conditions, and being calm, responsive, reliable and resourceful make us the go-to professionals for pet care services in the Coral Gables area.

Linda Gonzalez -
our Top Dog

Twenty years in the cold harsh winters of Chicago was enough for Linda to decide to head south. And finally get a dog. With an undergraduate degree in Forest and Parks Management and a graduate degree in Business, as a senior manager Linda worked in operations, facilities and crisis management for a Fortune 500 company before unleashing her passion—the four-footed variety!

Jorge Gonzalez

“No dogs while we live in the North. Period.” This was Jorge’s mantra – no sunrise walks in 20-degree-below temperatures for him! Now in the sunny tropics, Jorge shares his home with Linda and their pack of well-loved-but-never-spoiled pooches—Sam the Beagle, Bert the Boston and Kaya the Kween (terrier mongrel – ugly but endearing!). Jorge’s background in logistics and manufacturing operations serves him well when “doody calls” for a pack of pooches eager to go for a sunrise walk!
