Pet care experience
A pet lover and experienced sitter
With a deep passion for dogs, I offer personalized care that goes beyond just sitting.

Whether it’s obedience training, playtime, or administering medication, I treat each dog like family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Santiago was great! He updated me daily and when I picked my dog up he was happy, healthy and in good spirits. Thanks for taking him last minute too!
Santiago was very accommodating and made my dogs feel right at home! Kept their schedule consistent and lives near a nice walking path. One thing that really made him stand out is that your dog(s) are the only ones he and his family watch. Where I’ve been to some sitters and they have like 4-5 different dogs there being watched so they can make more money. So with him only watching ours I know they were looked after and it was great to get pics of the pups while traveling. 10/10 would reccomend!
Santiago is a kind, respectful and caring person. He loves dogs and he has always been around pets, showing love and affection, treating them with a gentle approach.

Schedule
Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I prioritize spending quality time with each dog, whether it’s feeding, walking, or training sessions. I structure my day around their needs, ensuring they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. My weekly routine includes regular check-ins, playtime, and tailored care, especially for puppies and senior dogs. This commitment helps me maintain a healthy balance and ensures every dog gets the care they deserve.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets in both my home and my clients' homes. In my home, I have designated areas for pets to relax, play, and sleep, ensuring they feel at ease. I follow each pet's routine closely, whether it’s feeding times, walks, or playtime, and make sure they’re given individual attention. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines, ensuring their pets’ needs are met with the same level of care and attention, whether it’s maintaining their regular schedule or providing companionship and exercise. I always ensure pets are safe, secure, and happy in both environments.
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I always make sure to provide engaging and fun activities tailored to each pet’s personality and preferences. For active pets, I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, or having interactive playtime with their favorite toys. For pets who enjoy more calm activities, I’ll spend time cuddling, brushing, or even doing some training exercises to keep their minds stimulated. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and affection to make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away

- It’s really important for me to know as much as possible about your pets ahead of time to ensure I provide the best care. I’d love to learn about their daily routines, favorite activities, any special dietary needs, medical conditions, and their behavior, so I can keep them comfortable and happy. Understanding their likes and dislikes helps me tailor my care to fit their personality, whether that means extra playtime, quiet moments, or special instructions. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.
