I work full time as a vet tech. However smaller to medium size animals are allowed to come to work with me. So they wouldn’t be alone. In addition to this if your pet is located in Marlborough/Hudson or Watertown MA I will be able to also visit them even if I’m working that day, multiple times. As for weekends I am fully open and very flexible. To make sure no miscommunication occurs scheduling and pet care will be discussed before any booking takes place. At the end of the day the goal is to make sure you and your pet get the services that are needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I will spoil your pet just as I spoil mine. If pet sitting is taking place in my home they will have free range with supervision. They will have a huge sectional to lounge on and a big fenced in yard to run around. If pet sitting is taking place in your home I will care for them using the directions given by you.

Information Carlos Jose R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs or allergies please let me know ahead of time. This includes sensitive skin and stomach issues, diabetes, thyroid issues, etc.

A typical day

My favorite thing to do for high activity dogs is hiking ! And if allowed I would take them to the little doggy beach in Hudson by the hiking trails. If no food sensitivities we would finish the day with a pup cup from Starbucks !

I am a CEO with high standards. I can not say enough good things about Carlos. I met him because my 15 year old Cav is on his last road and I travel a lot. Carlos was meticulous about prep and our dog's issues, meds, needs, situation, etc. He took detailed notes of our conversations and came over to meet in person before either of us committed. I just returned from Asia. Carlos texted every day I was away - with photos!! He is extraordinarily skilled at vet medicine because of his job. The dog's issues were fewer when I returned -and - Carlos had weaned him down on his meds as well. It was amazing. In addition, Carlos truly loves my dog. When I got home he had left a portrait of my dog he had taken and framed - a gift to me. Lucky to have found him!

Thank you so so so much! Carlos is awesome and communication is great. It made me feel better being away for so long knowing that Carlos was caring for them. Thank you again!

Carlos was an awesome house / pet sitter! He took great care of the cats- he sent pictures and videos from each visit, administered medication twice a day, brought in the mail, and even did some light cleaning around the litter boxes. I will definitely be booking him again soon!

Carlos is the best! Highly communicative, professional, and experienced. He was an excellent cat sitter for our two fur babies while we were away on vacation, and he also took care of our new house. Carlos is trustworthy, followed the routine like he lives here, and administered meds to my senior cat. I’d choose Carlos again in a heartbeat!
