¡Just like home (or better!) loving dog care!❤️🩹
Pet care experience
I have over two years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, during which I’ve provided personalized and responsible attention to pets of all ages and sizes. I specialize in puppy care, including socialization routines, positive reinforcement, and basic obedience training, as well as in caring for senior dogs who require a gentler approach, medication, or assisted mobility. What sets me apart as a caregiver is my genuine commitment to the emotional and physical well-being of each pet, tailoring my care to their personality and specific needs. I am patient, attentive, and have a strong instinct for reading animal body language, which helps me anticipate and avoid stressful situations. Every pet under my care is treated as a beloved member of the family.

Reviews
I entrusted Santino with the care of my dog while I was traveling, and I couldn’t have made a better choice. From the very first meeting, it was clear that they have a genuine connection with animals and a calm, responsible attitude. My dog, who’s usually a bit shy around strangers, felt comfortable right away. Santino followed all instructions to the letter, kept me updated with daily photos and messages, and left my home spotless. It was clear they weren’t just petsittin, they gwere offering real care and affection. I wholeheartedly recommend Santino: trustworthy, attentive, and naturally gifted for this kind of work.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in their owner’s home, I follow their usual routines exactly as instructed feeding times, walks, medication, and cleaning. I respect the home space and send regular updates so owners feel at ease and connected with their pet.
Information Santino C. would like to know about your pet
Could you please let me know in advance if your pet has any difficulties, illnesses, or special needs? This way, I can better prepare to provide the appropriate care and ensure your pet is comfortable and safe throughout my time with them.
A typical day
A typical day caring for pets starts with a warm welcome and lots of attention to help them feel comfortable and safe. I provide fresh water and food according to their usual schedules and check if they need any medication or special care. Then, we go for walks tailored to their energy and age — calm strolls for senior dogs or active playtime for puppies and young dogs. During the day, I spend time playing with them using toys, fetch games, or simply giving cuddles to strengthen our bond. For cats, I create play and exploration opportunities with feather toys, laser pointers, and scratching posts to keep them happy and active. I also keep their spaces clean, like litter boxes or resting areas, ensuring a comfortable environment. At the end of the day, I provide calm companionship so they can relax and sleep peacefully, always attentive to their emotional and physical needs.

Availability
I can easily fit pet care into my weekly routine, as I’m available from Monday to Friday starting at 4:00 PM, which allows me to offer afternoon and evening walks, home visits, or short stays. Additionally, I’m fully available on Saturdays and Sundays, making it possible to provide longer services such as daytime care, extended walks, or in-home sitting. This flexibility allows me to adapt to different needs and ensure dedicated, high-quality care during the times when many families need extra support.
