Pet care experience

I have two dogs named Kiki and NaiNai which are approximately 5 years old. I live in a 2 bedroom condominium with a doggy gate separating both halves of my home and a small but fenced backyard. I have taken dog training classes at Petco for about two years. I taught high school for 7 years which was helpful in learning how to manage people and animals. At the high school I taught at, there were a lot of stray dogs walking around looking for food and attention. I rescued many stray dogs from that school including my own babies, Kiki and NaiNai. I believe in positive reinforcement is the best way to train animals. Being calm and collective builds trust and respect which allows dogs to relax and behave.

I worked closely with Irvin at South San high school. During this time, I got to know him and it was clear immediately that he has a gift in caring for animals. He provided a home to two stays in desperate need of rescue and they quickly became apart of his family. Around campus, Irvin is known as the go-to guy when a stray dog appears on campus. He will take the dog home, care for it, and spend his weekend making sure the dog is placed in a no-kill shelter. He truly has a passion for animals and is the perfect person to trust with your four legged best friend.

I have worked with and known Irvin for the last 4 years and in that time he has help take care of countless stray and neglected dogs that appear on our campus. He truly has a big heart when it comes to animals and I think he would share that love in your company. He is a kind and caring soul that has a way of making weary animals feel at ease. I know he will be a great addition to your company!

If you looking for someone to take care of your precious fur baby Irvin is a great candidate! He has two wonderful dogs of his own that he cares for as if they were his kids. He has attended dog training classes for 2 years and is always seeking the best training techniques. He is very compassionate, patient, reliable, and determined. He is use to being around dogs of all breeds and sizes. For the past 4 yrs he has helped rescue strays and even helped reunite a family with their dog. I highly encourage Irvin for all your pets needs.

Irvin is a loving owner and animal activist, the two dogs he takes care of were strays that could not find a good home. He then went out of his way to participate and change the HOA's rules to let them stay under his care responsibly. He regularly takes his dogs for checkups and walks, sheltering and helping many strays he has found at school while teaching, including transporting strays to appropriate animal facilities in different cities to find a better home. Having walked with Irvin and the dogs he's cared for, he has always looked after and picked up for them. I strongly believe he would be a great caregiver and representative for Rover.
