Pet care experience

I love the dogs is my live

“I am a dog sitter with over 10 years of experience, specializing in creating safe, stimulating and trust-filled environments for every pet. My background includes working at Wag Hotels in California, where I managed groups of up to 40 dogs, developing unique skills for handling dogs of all personalities and sizes. My focus is on providing peace of mind and security to owners, especially for those with pets facing behavioral challenges, such as aggression or fear. I possess a natural ability to connect with dogs that require a special and patient touch, helping them feel calm and secure. My well-trained dog and I form a team that adds a familiar and friendly touch to our adventures. We make sure that every day is filled with activity, care and love, with a commitment to making every dog ​​enjoy an exceptional experience. More than a care service, we offer an enriching experience for your pet, where well-being and happiness are always our priority.

Santiago was amazing with our little boy Kohl. He has a very nice and calm energy, and was wonderful with communication and providing updates! We would absolutely recommend him and hope to use him again for future stays.

Santiago is responsive and attentive, everything you can ask for in a caregiver. we had a unique situation where we left for vacation and our 2 dogs were with another person on rover. An emergency happened and that person couldn't watch our dogs any longer and Santiago was able to quickly respond and pick our 2 dogs up. we are very grateful for him.

Santiago has been our go to sitter when we leave town. He's able to keep up with our energetic dog and I feel at ease leaving my dog with Santiago and Oslo. Santiago also makes sure to update us on our dog when we are gone. I highly recommend him!
