Our Family
We are the Castillo's! My husband (German) and I (Megan) are in our mid 30's and we have two kids: Ella (9yrs old) and Caden (7yrs old).
We love animals and we love to travel so we've decided to take our 10+ years of pet sitting experience worldwide and watch other's fur babies while we explore different places around the world!
Our Experience
Our family has been pet sitting on rover.com + our own business dog boarding business for over 11 years! We would watch up to 15 dogs at once in our home at times--so our kids grew up always being surrounded by animals and helping us take care of them.
We only take a max of about 6 when we board dogs in our own home nowadays. So if you live near Sacramento, CA and need a home away from home for your dog while you're gone--book their stay with us!
Our Pets
We have three dogs-- 15yr old chow chow named Simba and a 2 year old mix named Pip that are both rescues. Lastly, our newest addition Bowie--a Great Pyrenees who will grow to be about 100+ pounds!
They won't be traveling with us for traveling sits and we will have our family taking care of them.
Contact us to book your dog boarding or see if we are available for a traveling home/pet stay today!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Karlene Z.
More ReviewsHonestly the best place I could have ever sent my dog to. I was so comfortable and at ease knowing she was in the best hands. I got photos daily and my dog came home super happy and with lots of play. I will definitely rebook, and often, because I travel quite a bit. Total 5 stars and I totally recommend. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you chose another sitter!

More ReviewsMegan and her family were great! Both of my dogs were so happy there, peanut butter didn't want to leave and they both loved her kids. Great communication, it was my first time leaving them overnight and she was so patient with me! We will definitely be repeat customers
