Pet care experience

Your dog, our only Guest

Hi, I’m Carlos — and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from playful puppies to gentle seniors and everything in between. Our family has always had pets. Our beloved dog, who spent more than a decade with us and our kids grew up with , passed away in summer 2024. We also used Rover for our own dog, so we understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. That’s why we offer a one-family-at-a-time service — your pet gets our full attention in a calm, cozy home with no other guest pets. If your dog loves to play or cuddle, they’ll have great company — our kids (8 and 13) adore spending time with our furry visitors and are gentle, patient, and very pet-savvy. Whether your dog prefers long walks, snuggles, quiet corners, or a little extra reassurance, we adjust to what makes them feel most at ease. We’re attentive, flexible, and happy to provide any special care they need. We’d love to welcome your pet into our home.

Carlos and his family took amazing care of Yumi. So many cuddles and attention! They made sure to give us regular updates and lots of pictures, so we felt reassured with his stay.

Leaving our dogs is never easy. They are like our babies. But we feel 100% comfortable knowing they are well taken care of and loved by Carlos, his wife and his 2 children!

We were very happy and felt that Pluto was in good hands with Carlos and his family. Carlos sent us daily pictures of Pluto. We will book again with him ! Thank you Carlos for taking good care of our precious Pluto!

Carlos and Gabi were great! They’re so friendly and they made us feel at ease leaving Marley with them for the weekend. They shared lots of pictures and feedback during her stay. We won’t hesitate to have them watch her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a town home with a nice terrace and parks nearby. I currently don't have a pet and only host pets from one family at a time.

A typical day

I would be happy to go to Dog parks and also exercise by doing long walks in natural areas. I can also provide a fun environment for pets at home.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

The Dogs will need to be potty trained and non aggressive towards kids, since we have two kids at home. Cats should also be friendly to kids and enjoy being around people.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
