Highlights
Pet care experience
Senior & Special Needs Dog Expert🐾
As an experienced caregiver, I specialize in senior and high-needs dogs and cats, managing complex routines including medications, mobility support, dietary needs, and behavioral adjustments. My approach is to create calm, comforting routines for pups who need extra patience, medication support, and lots of love. Your dog will feel safe, understood, and cherished while you’re away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We booked Jean and Paloma after two Rover people had to cancel a few days before our trip - a family event, and the longest we have been away from Queenie, our anxious rescue chihuahua mix. Jean and Paloma are fantastic and knowledgeable animal carers. Other reviews described that they were able to manage a complicated medication schedule for their pets, and I believe it. They took the same care with our pup, though she was healthy, letting us know about how she was eating, her behavior, etc. Their rate is higher because they are professionals - and of course Queenie could tell that they love animals. My partner even stayed after picking her up to get training advice. If they're available the next time we need Queenie looked after, I would absolutely request them again. Thanks Jean and Paloma!
Angus was very well cared for and we appreciated regular updates and photos. We were able to relax while out of the country knowing Angus was not distressed and getting everything he needed. Thank you so much.
JP is prompt, attentive, and trustworthy. I love getting the daily updates with photos, making it obvious that my girl loves having him around!
We felt very confident leaving our senior dog with JP. He is calm and experienced in looking after dogs with medication needs. He was also very attentive to our dog’s unique needs and preferences, meaning that our sometimes anxious dog was very comfortable and relaxed while we were away. JP was an outstanding communicator and was very open with us about how things were going. JP is highly trustworthy and we will definitely work with him again. Highly recommend.
Jean did a wonderful job taking care of our girl Blizzard who is deaf and needs a bit of extra patience. He sent lots of pictures and updates, followed all instructions and left our house very clean. We would be happy to have Jean stay with Blizzard again!
JP and Paloma were fantastic, and our dog Hudson clearly had a great time with them and can home happy and healthy. The booking experience was straightforward, JP was flexible and very responsive so that made things easy. They shared updates and pictures during the booking. Would definitely recommend!

Schedule
Working from home gives me the freedom to focus entirely on your dog’s needs, whether it’s quiet companionship, timed meds, or regular walks at their pace. I’m here for you with flexible, reliable care. I can tailor my care to their exact needs. I can take both high-energy and low-energy pets.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet’s home and routine with respect and care. For senior dogs especially, stability and safety are key. Your home (or mine) becomes a peaceful haven. I follow every routine to the letter, keep everything spotless and secure, and send updates daily so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.
A typical day
Depends on the pet and their energy levels. A day with your senior or special‑needs pet is centered around comfort and calm care. I take time for slow, mindful walks, relaxing brushing sessions, soft play as appropriate, and plenty of affection. Every moment is guided by your dog’s energy, mood, and preferences. Their well‑being always comes first. For higher energy pets, I do my best to give them plenty of play time, walks, enrichment, and attention. Updates and pictures are sent on a daily basis and communication is always transparent.
