Our Story.
Founded by Charles Cuff in January 2024, Pawnitas Pet Services is the culmination of four years of passionate, hands-on experience in pet sitting and animal care. Charles’s journey began when close friends, Juliano Rodriguez and Beatriz Rivera, asked him to watch their beloved dog Bella. While studying clinical psychology, Charles discovered how meaningful it was to care for Bella, sparking an enduring love for pet welfare.
As word of his exceptional care spread, Charles received more pet sitting requests than he could handle alone. Rather than compromising on the level of attention his furry clients deserved, Charles decided to create Pawnitas Pet Services: a network of Pet CPR–certified sitters who share his mission for flexible, personalized, and high-quality animal care. Today, Pawnitas is a reliable and client-focused service that takes pride in treating every pet like family.

Our long-term goal is to redefine pet care in Puerto Rico. By uniting highly trained sitters and conscientious pet parents under one reliable network, we strive to raise the standard for every aspect of pet sitting, from routine walks to comprehensive overnight stays.
