Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient with dogs, gentle with cats
I grew up in Santa Fe with two cats and a dog, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. That’s over a decade of feeding schedules, medication routines, long walks, and figuring out what makes a nervous animal relax. I’ve always found my way to a pet’s heart, whether that’s a puppy who won’t sit still or a senior who just wants company on the couch. Now I’m a student in Manhattan with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks and drop-ins when most people are stuck at work. I’ll send photos after every visit so you know your pet is happy.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in your home, so my job is to leave everything exactly as you keep it. I follow your feeding amounts, your leash and harness setup, your litter routine, and any rules about furniture, doors, or windows. I confirm the door is locked and the cat is accounted for before I leave every single time. On walks I keep dogs leashed the whole way, avoid dog to dog contact unless you tell me it’s fine, and stay away from crowded blocks with a nervous dog. I send a photo and a short update after each visit so you know what happened while you were out.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve had Joaquin take care of my dog and two cats over the past few years, and he has always been incredibly reliable and caring. He goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I especially appreciate the regular check-ins, photos, and updates he sends while I’m away, it really gives me so much peace of mind knowing exactly how they’re doing. My pets are very comfortable with him, he’s good with both cats and dogs- they love Joaquin, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. I’m grateful to be able to leave and feel at ease knowing that my pets are happy with him.

I’ve had Joaquin take care of my dog Bailey for the past 3 years, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more. He is incredibly responsible, caring, and trustworthy. Joaquin always sends regular check-ins, photos, and updates throughout the time he’s watching Bailey, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. Bailey absolutely loves him, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy she is in his care. I never have to worry when Joaquin is watching her because I know she’s in great hands!

Schedule
I’m currently taking classes online over the summer, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be available for walks, check-ins, and pet care throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and make sure they stay on their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.
