Attentive - Flexible - Outgoing

Pet care experience

Backstory, I am from Vero Beach, Florida. I Am currently attending FSU as a full time student. I have also been in the U.S Airforce as a Civil Engineer for 7 years. I understand full heartedly, the need to provide company/assistance to your furry family! My experiences range from with pets of my own throughout the years; to assisting family members on business trips/vacation. Some pets I’ve taken care of are visually impaired, require particular diets, and medicines. The need for attentiveness is a must in this field so please don’t hesitate to tell me what needs to be done. I look forward to meeting you.

Carlos was wonderful. Our dog comes with a lot of instructions and he followed them perfectly. I trust Carlos to take care of our dog anytime we go out of town.

Carlos was wonderful. He was prompt picking up my dog and took living care of him. I highly recommend trusting your pet with him. My dog Smallz took immediately to Carlos like he had known him forever which showrd me how much Carlos cared for animals. I will definitely usr him again in the future.

I can’t begin to tell you how very fortunate we were to find Carlos on River.com! My 97 year old mother came to New Jersey for thanksgiving with our family. Unfortunately, she became very ill and was hospitalized. Upon her discharge the doctor said she couldn’t continue to live in Florida. Her 90 year old husband was still in Vero Beach being cared for by a caregiver. The caregiver does help care for their 12 year old shih tzu, but we needed to find someone to walk Bo on his days off. Bo is not the easiest dog to get close to and she has been known to bite if she is afraid. Before finding Carlos on Rover.com I tried another dog walking website. The first walker they sent was not able to get Bo out from under the bed so she never got outside that day. The next walker they sent put a harness around Bo’s neck trying to get her to cooperate which didn’t work either. I was getting frantic trying to figure out what to do from a thousand miles away. Fortunately I contacted Carlos and he was an answer to my prayers. He must have an extraordinary connection with animals and a great deal of patience because he was able to get her to warm up to him and successfully walk her 3 times/day. I couldn’t ask for more and I highly recommend this American Hero to anyone who needs help with their pet, even one who is high strung and difficult to handle. Thanks Carlos!

Carlos has been our dog sitter for the past two years. What I appreciate most about Carlos is not just love for animals but his professional approach. I can always count on him to take great care of my fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is currently pet free to prevent any conflicts. I sanitize after each house sit to ensure no sickness are transmitted. It makes your pet more comfortable if they meet prior to a stay so they are familiar with me. I do not leave any pet unsupervised, ensure cabinets are secure and doors to restrooms are closed. I prefer instruction based care because you know you pet best. I think details about habits you wouldn’t want your pet to do, eating schedule and accommodations make for a hassle free experience. In the instance that I house sit I am as light as a mouse. I pack light and leave it like I arrived.

Information Carlos F. would like to know about your pet

It is great to know wether or not he/she is friendly with other dogs or cats. Additionally, to have a written list of Allergies/medications the pet requires is a tremendous help.

A typical day

I am an active; so a walk/Run/tossing the ball is no stress! I give lots of belly rubs, dog parks permitted they are allowed. Bath time!
