Information Jesus R. would like to know about your pet

Before we meet, I'd love to get to know a bit about your pet's unique personality! What are their favorite activities and toys? Do they have any quirks or special routines? I'd also like to know if they have any allergies, medications, or specific needs so I can provide the best care possible. The more I know, the more I can tailor our time together to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

A typical day

I love keeping your dog happy and engaged, both mentally and physically. We'll have a blast playing their favorite games, sniffing out new scents around my neighborhood, and exploring the big park nearby-it'll be an adventure every time!

THE ROMERO K9 ACADEMY®️

Pet care experience

As an avid animal enthusiast, I would be honored to provide exceptional care for your furry friend, treating it as if it was my own. I am typically home throughout the day and have two Dobermans that I diligently train and exercise regularly. This experience has honed my knowledge of maintaining the well-being and happiness of active dogs. I am flexible and can tailor the care to your pet’s specific needs, whether they have a low-key, moderate-energy, or high-energy disposition. I will adhere to their feeding schedule, ensure regular potty breaks, and create a welcoming environment for them. With me, your pet will have a dedicated and comfortable place to reside. Furthermore, I specialize in dog training and have extensive experience in addressing dog reactivity and aggression. Prior to our meeting, I would appreciate the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of your pet’s unique personality, preferred activities, toys, distinctive traits, special routines, allergies, medication requirements, or any other distinguishing characteristics. By gaining this knowledge, I can ensure that your pet has an exceptional and fulfilling experience with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any inquiries you may have regarding your pet’s care.

Mr. Romero was wonderful. We were in a pinch and nervous about getting a quality dog sitter on short notice, but thankfully Mr. Romero was available. Throughout our dog Dexter’s stay, Jesus was very responsive to my messages, sending photos and videos. He was clear with procedures for drop off and pick up. Dexter was happy to be in the Romero house while we were out of town. We highly recommend!

We booked Jesus for 2 weeks to go to Japan. The Japan trip was planned a year in advance as it was extremely important to our youngest. Our dog, a 156 pound 2 year old Newfoundland, is extremely important to us too. He'd have been on the trip too if allowed. The day of the trip, our puppy appeared to have loose stools. I thought it was due to nerves and anxiety from all four of us having suitcases. I let Jesus know. He didn't try to cancel, charge more, or hesitate. Instead, he acted as if the puppy were his own - asking about diet, rice, chicken... This puppy ended up not having nerves but being truly sick and waking Jesus up multiple times the 1st few days we were gone. Jesus sent updates, let us know not to panic, and was reassuring. My husband wanted to cancel the trip. Showing him Jesus's texts made him feel better. Jesus had our baby in his care and it was clear that Jesus CARED and would care for our puppy as if he were his own. Our puppy recovered in a few days, good stools. We got pictures of good walks and lazy couch pictures. JESUS is who we will trust with our big guy any time we go away again, if we are forced to leave him behind.

Jesus always takes incredible care of our golden retriever, Teddy. We originally worked with Jesus to train Teddy as a puppy, and now he’s the only person we trust to board him when we’re out of town. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Teddy is with someone who truly cares about him. Jesus sends us plenty of photos and videos throughout each stay, so we always know Teddy is having the best time. The biggest sign of all is how excited Teddy gets when we drop him off. He is always so thrilled to see Jesus. I highly recommend Jesus for boarding or training needs.

Jesus is amazing! He is responsive, professional, and friendly, and it’s clear from the moment you meet him that he truly cares about dogs. He took excellent care of Bodhi, and treated him as if he were his own. While I was away, Jesus sent updates with videos and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bodhi was happy and well cared for. I never have to worry when Bodhi is with him. One of the best signs is how excited Bodhi gets when we pull onto Jesus’ street. Somehow, he knows exactly where we are, and he can’t wait to get out of the car. That tells me everything I need to know-Bodhi is in wonderful hands with Jesus! Thank you, Jesus for accommodating us on such short notice.
