My full-time job keeps me busy around Laurel with a regular 9-6, but outside of work, my routine revolves around fresh air, movement, and exploring new places. Since moving to Rockville from Silver Spring, I’ve enjoyed checking out parks and venues—whether it’s a jog, a peaceful walk, or just relaxing outdoors. This lifestyle naturally blends with pet care, as I love having furry companions join me on walks and outings. My grandmother, who spends most of her time at home, also keeps pets company during the day, ensuring they’re never alone. Whether it’s structured playtime, a calming stroll, or simply enjoying the day together, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my family everyday life.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment where pets feel at home.

My mom supports me when needed, helping with transportation and care. Whether pets stay with me or I care for them in a client’s home, I ensure they’re comfortable, well-cared-for, and treated like family.

Information Jorge D. would like to know about your pet

Understanding each pet’s needs is essential to providing the best care. Let me know about their routines, energy levels, medical needs, and any preferences or quirks that help them feel comfortable. If they require specific schedules, medications, or have social tendencies, I’ll make sure to accommodate them. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where they feel at home.

A typical day

Mornings start with an 8 a.m. walk—fresh air, stretches, and a trip to the nearby dog park before I head to work. From 9 a.m. to 5–6 p.m., my grandmother keeps pets company so they’re never alone, and my mom helps when needed. Once I’m home around 6–7 p.m., it’s time for another walk, playtime, or relaxation. Before bed, we take one last outing to wind down the day. Fridays, I work from home, giving pets extra attention throughout the day.

Pet care experience

Between my mom, my grandmother, and me, we’ve welcomed all kinds of furry friends into our home, from tiny tail-waggers to big gentle giants. It comes naturally to us, and we treat every pet with the same care and attention we’d give our own. We lost our beloved dog four years ago, and pet sitting has helped us heal while reconnecting with the love only animals can give. In our home, your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be surrounded by family who truly cares. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet strolls, or just chilling with loving company, they’ll feel like they belong here from the moment they arrive. Text me for a Meet & Greet! 🙌🏼❤️

We are very thankful for finding Jorge on Rover to take care of our mixed piti, Charlie. Charlie is a 9yo, 80lb rescue, was abused as a pup, and as a result has anxiety and separation issues. Although Jorge has experience working with dogs, he understands our "special needs" rescue pet and Charlie feels comfortable and welcomed by constant care, belly rubs and attention as needed. Thanks Jorge for all you do to care for Charlie!

Jorge and his family took great care of our little reactive dog, as always! We're so lucky to have found them

Jorge is an amazing dog sitter! He has watched our English bulldog twice now and provides lots of updates. It’s clear that Eliza is well taken care of.
