Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe walking paths, backyard
We are a family of four and we all love dogs. We love all dogs, but small and medium size are my specialty. We currently own a senior poodle/bichon mix named Preston and we just adore him. We love how dogs show unconditional love, are your best friend, and never leave your side. My husband and I share pet sitting duties. We have two daughters, ages 11 and 15 years old and they also love to help with caring for the dogs and giving them attention. Since Santiago and I are mostly home during the day and night your pup will get lots of attention. My home has a fenced/gated pool yard, with patio shade where your dog can play and go potty. We have dog toys and extra dog beds where your family member can play or relax. We also have a very quiet and safe walking path behind our house here in Silverado Hills neighborhood.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Willow had her first visit with Santiago and Carina, and everything went well. We appreciated the flexibility to adapt to our late schedule change. There were no issues with drop-off or pick-up. Willow was fine after the visit and acted like her normal self, just as we hoped.

Carina & Santiago are great pet sitters. We’ve used numerous times and we couldn’t have asked for better care for our small dog. I’m sure that their 2 little girls helped our dog feel “at home”. After our return, my car wouldn’t start and Santiago very graciously offered to drive our dog over to us. One of the many things that stand out is that, prior to our first boarding with her, Carina arranged for me to meet her & her small dog to make sure our dogs got along. I’ve already booked a sitting with her for a short trip we’ll be taking.
Carina and Santiago took great care of my lil guy. He’s a clingy older guy and I was worried about boarding him with someone new, but I could tell just by the photos they sent that he was comfortable with their family and had settled right in. Thank you for everything!

We had a great experience with Carina and Santiago! Our dog, Blanco, seemed happy and well taken care of. He has food allergies and is very anxious. They took care of his needs and communicated with me. I highly recommend them.

This was our first experience using Rover. Carina and Santiago help us and our dog feel very comfortable with the experience. We sent updates while we were away and we knew Marty was well taken care of!

Santiago, Carina and lovely daughters took very loving care of Sandee! It’s our favorite home to bring Sandee while we are traveling! Sandee is so excited to get to stay with them!! We are blessed to have found them!! 5 stars always!
