Pet care experience

Life is better with dogs

What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my unique blend of specialized skills and genuine love for animals. I excel in training puppies with positive reinforcement and have extensive experience in senior pet care, including administering medications and aiding with mobility. My knowledge of animal behavior allows me to understand and respond to pets' needs effectively. Additionally, I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring your pet is always in safe hands. I treat every pet as if they're my own, providing personalized, compassionate care that makes them feel right at home.

Boarding • Mar 11, 2026

Carlos is a true dog whisperer! He has looked after my mini Aussie a number of times, and has accommodated her exercise requirements and was able to handle her Aussie personality, which can be quite energetic. He even slept with her separately on a sofa bed to make her feel comfortable. I would recommend Carlos to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Carlos was great! Our dachshund is shy but he did a great job of making her feel comfortable and have a fun stay. He was super quick to accommodate an extended stay when we had flight disruptions. Highly recommend, would absolutely bring our dog back!
