Your Dog’s Home Away From Home
I’ve been raising and caring for dogs for over 40 years, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. To me, dogs are family, and I treat every pup with the same love and care as I would my own. I’m excited to meet your dog and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away. Since I work from home full-time, I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dog, giving them lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They’ll never feel lonely or neglected. You can trust that your dog will be in good hands with me. Let’s talk about how I can make their stay as happy and stress-free as possible!

Ratings and reviews
Carlos has watched Rosie several times, and we are always impressed with his excellent communication and photos- we can always trust that Rosie is well cared for.

Outstanding as always. Great communication. We feel very content when Carlos takes care of our Gus.

As always, Carlos took wonderful care of Abby which included my being delayed in returning home due to the fires in Canada and northern Michigan. He was understanding and supportive as I worked through airline changes as well as delays and as expected he continued to care for Abby as if there were no problems in doing so in spite of the extra days. His daily photos confirm that he loves his job and his 4-legged friends and I am very pleased to have found him and so is Abby!

I can't say about my experience with Carlos watching Sophie. From the beginning, he was kind, professional, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. Leaving your dog with someone else can be concerning, but Carlos made the entire experience feel easy and completely stress-free. He took exceptional care of Sophie, treating her with genuine kindness, patience, and attention. From the updates he sent throughout her stay, it was clear that she was happy, comfortable, safe, and well cared for. His consistent communication gave me peace of mind—I never had to wonder how she was doing because he kept me informed every step of the way. During her stay, Sophie was also introduced to several new canine friends, and she adjusted beautifully—a true credit to Carlos's caring nature, skill, and ability to make every dog feel comfortable and secure. What impressed me most was the level of care and attentiveness he showed. He followed her routine, made sure she was comfortable, gave her plenty of love and attention, and created an environment where she felt safe and secure. That kind of dedication and trustworthiness is truly priceless. I'm incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Carlos provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter. Sophie was in the best hands, and I would not hesitate to book with him again. It was an outstanding experience from start to finish.

Carlos provides customized and compassionate care! We left our older Beagle for 2 weeks with Carlos and he sent daily updates and photos. He modified her diet when her stomach wasn’t well and made sure she took all of her medications. We were completely at ease on our vacation knowing Maggie was in such great hands. If you are looking for attentive dog sitting, excellent communication and responsiveness, and peace of mind, then you should book Carlos!

Carlos was wonderful with our 14 year old beagle-bassett, providing great care and keeping us updated with many pictures. He is very caring and maintains a positive environment for his dogs, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely go back and highly recommend Carlos to others in the Northern VA area.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fence yard, and one friendly dog to keep fur baby company. I also provide a safe, loving environment and follow owner instructions. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I’m here to help! My goal is to make your pup feel completely at home and comfortable.
