Huge Dog Loving Family

Pet care experience

We love Dogs- If you chose us to take care of your dog they will be showered with Love and Have a great time playing here. From out 6 year old Sarah to myself we all enjoying having Dogs at our house. Your baby will be cared for here, they’ll sleep in my room or if you have a personal accommodation that’d you’d like to do we can do that. We have dogs’s both inside and outside and with 4 kids and a stay at home mom the times are rare when no one is home. We have brown lab, Maya, who will enjoy your dogs’s company and keep them busy by running around the back. I love to go out and play fetch with the dogs’s the most as I can and then comeback inside and let them rest. You’re dog will definitely enjoy their stay here.

My dog Halo, a french bulldog, has stayed here three maybe four times. They have a large house and large fenced in yard. I believed she was okay. However, there were a few red flags and I had a gut feeling things weren't right. Yet, I like to believe the best of people. Their profile is confusing but Carlos K is the father. Paulina is the mother and David is the son (in the pic). I believe the communication is through Paulina, communication is not great so it gets confusing to me who I am talking to but I believe it is mainly her. I brought Halo to visit the day before her scheduled stay. The mom, Paulina forgot and her son David was there and showed me their yard and their dog. I brought her the next day and she apologized and things seemed fine. The family is nice and caring. However, I believe it is the son, David, doing the dog sitting for a part-time job and his mother and siblings help out. I know they love dogs and they have their own dog, a chocolate lab. However, they are neglectful and tend to have a lot of larger dogs because they have a large yard. Here is a brief summary and some of the red flags from Halo's two first two visits: the first visit when I picked her up she was very thirsty, and drank tons of water and slept for days after she came home. Her paws where a little scuffed up but I chalked it up to her being outside more than usual and her thirst and sleepiness because of anxiety, because she has never been boarded or stayed with strangers before. The second or third visit, I went to pick her up and no one answered the door, it was dark out and she and three other dogs were outside. Paulina arrived home with her girls and apologized and she opened the gate for me to get Halo and they grabbed her belongings from inside the garage. Thats when I met the husband, Carlos, he had been home but didn't hear the door (or didn't answer it because he is not handling the dog care). It made me wonder why Halo's things were in the garage and they seemed to be untouched. I always pack food, her water & food bowls, snacks, and a blanket; they were all in her bag except for her bed. Sadly, this was the common theme, they never hear the door bell when they are home and half of the time they aren't home. I am always ringing the door bell and then texting and then calling to say I am there. When you drop off and pick up you can expect to be waiting at the door at least 15-20 minutes. Her last visit, I was at the outside the door forever, it was due to a loud tv, they were watching the world cup and they couldn't hear me but I could hear them. I rang the bell and pounded on the door, called and texted.....when they finally answered the door they apologized, I was frustrated but okay, after all- it was the world cup. Once I returned home, I found her food in the zip lock bag spoiled (it is refrigerated food which I gave them when I dropped her off) and her bowls were warped.....either they were sitting in the sun or in a hot garage but they were literally melted. I contacted them and they apologized saying that they did not notice it was spoiled. This was the straw that broke the camels back..I wasn't bringing her back but then again....You may ask why I kept brining her back, well the first visit didn't seem bad, the biggest frustration was dropping her off and picking her up. They are very close to where we live and like I stated earlier, Halo hadn't stayed anywhere else and seemed excited to be there. Her last two dog stays were last minute and they made an exception for her. Halo's last visit they were no longer on the rover.com website and I contacted them via text. She told me they were moving so they took their profile off of Rover.com. but would gladly watch her because she is easy and no problem (Halo is very low maintenance). Halo's last visit was the tipping point.....This review is months after her visit because they were no longer on Rover.com and like I stated I was told they were moving in July and were no longer dog sitting. Today I received an email saying "Carlos updated their calendar and book your next stay"....as you can imagine I was VERY surprised. Hence, the late review....They are not bad people, just not good caretakers of dogs.

I do not recommend taking your dogs here. First off, both of our dogs are having trouble walking after bringing them home. It seems like they were either left outside or walked for too long in the heat. It’s basic common sense to keep dogs inside when it is 100° And the concrete is even hotter. One of our dogs has two sections of his pads where the skin is missing definitely from heaton his front paws which look like burn marks and the other dogs pads are very red and inflamed. Both of them won’t stop licking their front pads.They both wouldn’t even walk down our apartment stairs when we tried to take them out that night we brought them home. Also our big dogs elbows are all red from laying on the concrete all day It’s to the point where it looks like her elbow and is bleeding.I contacted Carlos and have not had a response within 48 hours they are ignoring my message. When we dropped our dogs off there were no adults and the same for pick up I believe the parents were out of town the whole weekend which is most likely the reason why our dogs were not cared for properly. I really wish I didn’t leave a cash tip with the young son however we didn’t realize the issues until we got back to our house. Again I do not recommend this family for watching your dog. It’s to the point where it looks like her elbow is bleeding. If you look at all of the reviews this is not their first negative review.
