Pet care experience
Energetic & Reliable Care The Annex
I have been a devoted pet owner since I was 6 years old, caring for dogs throughout every stage of their lives. Because I’ve only ever cared for my own pets, I don’t treat this as a 'job', I treat it as a personal responsibility. Having hired pet sitters myself, I know the level of trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new. I understand the importance of following a strict feeding schedule, maintaining walk routines, and providing plenty of updates. My goal is to give your pet the same level of attention, safety, and affection that I’ve given my own pets for over 20 years. 5 years living with my dog on my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk or a calm presence at home, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Carlos was an excellent minder for our first time using Rover. Bailey had a great stay and came back happy. Carlos dealt professionally and with care when Bailey had an encounter with a large burr that got stuck on his face. They made an excellent decision to have him seen by a groomer who removed the offending item quickly. Thanks Carlos for caring for my little guy and for the daily updates and photos. It all made for less stress for me and a great time for Bailey.
Great communication, very reliable, very punctual!
Carlos took great care of our puppy. We would definitely re book with him. Daily updates and pictures as well positive stories of her day made us feel comfortable while we were away from her.
Carlos was absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie! His communication was fantastic. He sent daily updates and tons of great photos, and drop‑off and pick‑up couldn’t have been easier. Charlie was clearly so well cared for. I highly, highly recommend Carlos!
Carlos took very good care of of my senior fur baby! Sent daily updates and photo. Wonderful care giver! I would recommend him anytime.
Carlos was great! Very responsive and flexible and he took very good care of Chey. Highly recommended.

Schedule
I currently work remotely and have a very flexible academic schedule, which allows me to be home most of the day. This flexibility means I can easily adapt to your pet's established routine, providing consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. Whether it's a mid-day walk or just having someone nearby while they nap, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the week.

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routine to ensure they feel secure. Whether providing care in your home or heading out for an energetic walk, I strictly follow your instructions and incorporate engaging playtime to keep them happy and stimulated.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about staying active and curious! I love to keep dogs engaged by throwing balls for fetch and going on long, energetic walks. We will spend plenty of time exploring local parks and discovering new walking trails to keep their tails wagging. Whether it’s a brisk run to burn off energy or a slow sniff-about to explore new scents, I make sure every outing is an adventure tailored to your dog's pace and personality.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or specific behaviors I should be aware of to ensure they stay safe and happy. I’d love to know if they have a favorite toy, any reactivity to other dogs or squirrels, and their comfort level with long-distance runs. My preference is for active breeds that enjoy being outdoors, but I am happy to accommodate any dog that loves a good game of fetch or a peaceful hike through a forest trail.
