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!

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!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Carlos watching Cocoa. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, professional, communicative, and reassuring. Leaving your dog with someone else can always be a little nerve wracking, but he made the entire experience feel easy and stress free. He took amazing care of Cocoa and treated her with so much patience, attention, and genuine kindness. I could tell from the updates he sent that Cocoa was comfortable, happy, safe, and very well cared for. He kept me informed throughout the entire stay with constant updates, which meant so much to me and gave me real peace of mind. It never felt like I had to wonder how she was doing because he was so thoughtful about keeping me in the loop. What stood out the most was the level of care and attentiveness he gave her. He didn’t just “watch” Cocoa, he truly cared for her. He made sure she was comfortable, followed her routine, gave her plenty of attention, and made her feel safe while I was away. That kind of trust is priceless. I am so grateful for the incredible care he gave Cocoa and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Cocoa was in excellent hands, and I would not hesitate to book with him again. Truly a 10/10 experience!

We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!

Carlos is fantastic- he took excellent care of our pup for 10 days. She had several daily walks, time outside sunbathing and enjoyed the company of Sasha and several other friends. Carlos provided multiple updates each day with lots of photos (and he is an excellent photographer!). We would be happy for Carlos to watch our dog again!
