Pet care experience

Trusted walks and tail wags!

I grew up having two dogs, a yellow and chocolate lab. They grew up with me until it was time to go to college. During college I would foster dogs for an organization called three dog night rescue. Currently, I take care of dogs who’s owners I’ve already established relationships with but looking to expand and have fun with your little one!

Santiago is incredibly responsible, dependable, and caring. He genuinely loves animals and is patient, attentive, and thoughtful about their individual needs. I would completely trust him to care for my dog and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver.

Santiago is absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! He stays at my home while I am traveling and strictly follows their exact feeding and walking schedules. He also sends regular photo updates, which gives me total peace of mind. Leaving your pets can be stressful, but I always know my loved ones are in safe, capable, and caring hands. I cannot recommend him enough!

Santi walked my two dogs, aged 14 and 11. He was patient and took them on long walks, as sometimes it takes my older one a bit longer to go to the bathroom! He is dependable and reliable, and has a calm steady energy that can handle super high energy dogs. He gives good and frequent updates, and I feel confident about leaving my dogs in his care.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! My dog is pretty anxious and has a ton of energy, so I’m always a little nervous leaving them with someone new. Santiago was awesome and made the whole experience so easy!! He sent lots of updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and it was obvious my dog was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and love. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and honestly seemed like they had a great time. Have gone back to him multiple times and can say my dog is very attached to him now! It’s such a good feeling finding someone I can trust with my dog. I will definitely continuing booking with him and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter!

I’m currently working part time both in the days and hours of the week so I’m extremely flexible in terms of walking hours and locations.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a separate living room from the bed room so there is plenty of space for your little one to play and be comfortable. I live next to Riverside park and a short distance from Central Park so we could easily go for long walks.
