Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur-baby caregiver extraordinaire
My name is Carlos and caring for animals has always been a central part of my life and home. My wife and I share our household with two dogs, George the puggle and Charlie the pug, along with several rescue and foster cats. Because of this we are very familiar with managing a multi animal household, different temperaments, and routines that help pets feel calm and secure. I have experience caring for animals at many stages of life, from energetic puppies and kittens that need structure and guidance to senior pets that require medication, mobility support, and extra patience. Living in Antioch has also shown me how many animals come from difficult situations, which is why I approach pet care with a calm, structured, and compassionate mindset. I can assist with puppy and kitten development, senior pet care, medication administration, transportation for vet visits or outings, and basic grooming support. My wife and I are comfortable administering medications and maintaining feeding routines including weight management diets. I also regularly help care for rescue and foster animals, which has given me experience working with pets that need extra patience and reassurance. My goal is always to provide safe, attentive care so pet owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. For the safety and well being of all animals involved, guardian type breeds require a Meet and Greet before any booking is accepted. Additional fees may apply for puppies under one year old and dogs over 60 lbs due to the additional supervision they often require. If your pet has behavioral challenges or comes from a difficult background, I am still happy to offer advice or guidance even if I am unable to accept the booking.

Schedule
I currently work remotely so I have plenty of availability throughout most days of the week and on weekends to look after any pet that requires care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We provide cage-less boarding where they would have their own space. We will never force them to mingle with our own pets but will encourage the socialism and play time with us.
Pets
A typical day
George suffers from separation anxiety, so we’ve found that plenty of socialization plus ball/toy fetch exercises have reduced those symptoms by a lot. If there's any additional training or requirement to sustain you're fur-baby I'll make it happen.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatCarlos can host up to 3 pets per night
- A big must if planning to board with us! 1) Your fur-baby must be okay around other small animals, most importantly the Felis catus of the animal kingdom most commonly referred to as cats. 2) I have experience with senior pet care for both dogs and cats and am willing to accommodate small adjustments at home if needed for their care so please let me know ahead of time.
