Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

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!

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.

Five stars isn't enough for Carlos! My wife and I are so comfortable on our holidays knowing that our Gus is with Carlos. Carlos went above and beyond to make sure Gus got plenty of exercise, outdoor playtime, and mental stimulation. He provided constant photo updates. Thank you, Carlos!--you are our "go-to" dog sitter!

Carlos took exceptional acre of our dog Chip while we were on a trip. Earlier in the week Chip injured his back and Carlos still agreed to care for Chip. We would not have left Chip with anyone else!
