Get to Know Us
Casa del Paw was born in 2018 from a simple idea: to give pets the same love, structure, and comfort we’d want for our own. Founded by husband-and-wife team Kevan and Silky, our mission is to provide dependable, approachable care in a warm home setting. Not just a service, but a place your pets can feel safe, happy, and most importantly - loved.
With a background in veterinary care and years of hands-on experience, we created Casa del Paw as an alternative to impersonal boarding and casual walkers. Avail of 5,000 sqft of bright, sunny, outdoor, green space - the most of any local Aventura facility - gives our furry guests room to breathe, relax, and just be dogs.

Silky
Before co-founding Casa del Paw, Silky spent years working in veterinary hospitals, honing her clinical skills and gaining firsthand experience in animal behavior, health, and safety. This experience doesn't just distinguish her, but rather our entire operation.
From recognizing early signs of discomfort to safely managing medications or post-surgical pets, her training brings a layer of care and professionalism that casual sitters simply can’t match. Silky’s calm presence, technical know-how, and deep empathy for animals are the foundation of the safe, structured, and loving environment we’re proud to offer every guest.

Kevan
Kevan brings a background in engineering and data analytics to Casa del Paw - a skillset that might seem unconventional in the pet care world, but one that’s made all the difference.
From optimizing workflows and organizing finances, to designing the endless iterations of our intake systems - on top of pitching into operations, he’s the behind-the-scenes force that helps keep the operation structured and scalable. More importantly, he’s a lifelong animal lover who traded in boardrooms and spreadsheets for leashes and paw prints and has never looked back.
