Pet care experience

Caring dog lover ready to help!

Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon!

House Sitting • May 11, 2026

Santiago was communicative, thoughtful and conscientious. He sent daily updates and pictures, and it was clear our pups were well cared for. He went above and beyond during his stay — even offering to wash our puppy who had gotten dirty from walks and romping in the backyard. The house was just as we had left it, and the sheets and towels were thoughtfully washed and dried. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!

Our dog, cat, and house were well taken care of while we were gone. Both animals were in good spirits when we got back and our house was cleaner than when we left it! Pictures and communication were great and the updates we received throughout our trip were great. We're happy we found Santiago and looking forward to knowing our animals are in good hands for our next trip!

Santiago was a winner from the start! Prompt response, on time for the meet & greet, texted often, and sent pictures often. He took very good care of Bula! He also took the time to clean up the kitchen and the bedroom - even cleaned the sheets before he left. I felt very comfortable with him staying with Bula and will ask for him again in the future!

Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!
