Will match any dog's energy level!

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Carlos and and I have roughly 16 years experience working with dogs. I’m passionate about dog psychology, as well as training, and are constantly self-learning the best practices and training methods. I started training dogs when I was fifteen, and specialized in working with nervous or anti-social dogs that just needed a little help in adjusting their behaviors (exercise and structured play are the best things for most dogs, so if you leave your energetic dog with me, rest assured they will come back tired!) My favorite activity to share with dogs is rollerblading, and it is especially great for work breeds, who love to have a job to do! I have also been a volunteer for dog rescue organizations in Seattle since 2020, mostly with Saving Great Animals. Since the pandemic started, I have fostered 3 dogs from rescue circumstances and helped turn them around into the loving and happy family members. Often, these dogs had never had human affection (or even a bed or full meal) before.

Carlos took such good care of our boy Watson while we were away! He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with Carlos again!

Carlos did such a great job caring for our high energy German Shepherd while we were away. He kept us well informed and worked with our changing schedule. We would love to have Carlos care for our dog again in the future.

Carlos took great care of my dog Lily while I was on vacation. He’s communicative, professional, and Lily would love to stay with him again soon!

Carlos was accommodating enough to arrange a pre-meeting before the actual booking date. My pup quickly grew comfortable with his warm and friendly demeanor. When my puppy had a little mishap at his place, he was very understanding and forgiving about it, and I was reassured that my dog was in good and safe hands. I strongly endorse his services and would recommend him without hesitation. Thanks, Carlos!

Information Carlos G. would like to know about your pet

I am very flexible, but please let me know if your dog eats plants (I have a few in my home that I would need to elevate -- none poisonous of course!). Otherwise, I love working with dogs who are shy or nervous and need a little help socializing with other dogs and/or humans.

A typical day

I am lucky to live on top of one of the best parks in Seattle. The area I am in is very walkable, and I like to rollerblade with our dog and our foster dogs if that is something you'd be comfortable with your dog (no pressure). I often go to the beach and hiking. I would obviously inform you of anything like this ahead of time, but it would be a great chance for your dog to play outside.

I am currently working a part-time WFH and usually at home on the weekends. I will always check with owners if I need to leave their pets unsupervised for a short time and I have my own crate and plenty of other assorted dog equipment.
