My home is dog-proofed and secure, with a fenced dog run for outdoor playtime. I supervise all interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and at ease.

Information Jimmy V. would like to know about your pet

I like to make sure every dog is a great fit for my home, so it's helpful to know your dog's temperament, energy level, and any special needs they may have. Please share if your dog has any history of aggression, anxiety, or specific triggers, as well as their favorite activities and daily routine. This helps me provide the best care and ensure a safe, happy experience for your pup.

A typical day

Each day starts by a fun morning routine of feeding and playtime. After some indoor games, we head out for an adventure, exploring parks and iconic spots around the city, like Pike Place Market. Older or less active dogs enjoy shorter walks or relaxing time in our fenced yard or on the rooftop. After a midday snack and nap, we continue our play and socialize with each other, ensuring every dog feels happy and engaged. The day wraps up with some cuddle time before their owners arrive for pick-up.

Pet care experience

My partner Yui and I have spent years caring for dogs in Seattle, and we've recently made an exciting move to Puerto Rico. We're bringing everything we loved about our routine, just with better weather and a new pack. "We treat every dog like family". No crates here. Dogs hang out with us at home, lounge on the couch, and are fully part of our day-to-day. We like it that way. We're experienced with all kinds of dogs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra love, we've cared for them all. We're also comfortable with dogs who have anxiety, medical needs, or special routines. We take the time to understand what your dog needs and make sure they feel safe and at ease. Daily walks are part of the deal. When we can, we take the pups out for about an hour so they can get some exercise, explore the neighborhood, and enjoy being outside. Puerto Rico has plenty to discover! We always start with a meet-and-greet. Before anything else, we love getting to know your dog first, so they feel comfortable, settled, and right at home from day one.

We are so happy with Jimmy! Our baby girl is shy and from the beginning he made us feel very comfortable about how he would handle her being around other dogs. She built so much confidence while being in his care and made friends with all the dogs! His communication is perfect, we received updates from the minute we dropped her off to right before we picked her up. We would 1000% leave Mila with Jimmy again, I couldn’t recommend him enough.

I cannot recommend Jimmy and his wife enough! This was, without a doubt, the best experience we’ve ever had on Rover!! They handled my dog with a lot of confidence, knowledge, and care. They took the time to understand his needs and managed him appropriately while still helping him have a great experience. The updates were absolutely amazing. We received photos, videos, and messages throughout the day. Including morning updates, meal updates, adventures, and goodnight check-ins. It gave us so much peace of mind and we never had to wonder how he was doing. They took him on walks, runs, and even beach outings, making sure he stayed active & happy. What we loved most was that while we were on vacation, our dog felt like he was on vacation too! To top it all off, they even cleaned him up before pickup! They went above and beyond in every way possible. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, communicative, caring, and treats your dog like family, they are it! Our dog clearly loved his stay, and we will absolutely be booking with them again. Thank you for taking such incredible care of Leo!

Jimmy and Yui are the best sitters. The moment we pull up to Jimmy’s place, Nimbus can’t wait to get out of the car. Seeing how excited he gets to hang out with Jimmy and Yui honestly tells us everything we need to know. While we’re away, he’s basically living his best life with a packed social calendar. Meanwhile, we’re getting constant photo and video updates of Nimbus. We know that he’s in great hands (and possibly having more fun than at home). Would definitely recommend!
