Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for and at ease. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so nothing feels disrupted. I pay attention to their behavior and needs, including medications if needed. I treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going well.
Information Jorge P. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable for them. This includes their routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or behaviors to be aware of. I also appreciate knowing what helps them feel at ease—whether that’s a favorite toy, walking route, or quiet space. This helps me provide safe, consistent, and personalized care.
A typical day
A typical day is all about keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and happy. For dogs, that might mean walks where they can explore and sniff, playtime with toys, or fun activities based on their energy level. I like to start by getting some of their energy out, then give them time to relax and feel calm and comfortable. For cats, I focus on gentle play, calm interaction, and giving them space when they need it. I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, understood, and at ease while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always felt a strong connection to them. I’m currently a graduate student in Animal Science, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and have experience working with cattle, sheep, horses, reptiles, and mice. I’ve also volunteered with animal rescues, fostering and helping animals feel safe and ready for adoption. My experience working on a dairy farm and being closely connected to farm environments through my family’s ranch has given me hands-on experience caring for many species beyond just dogs and cats. I’m comfortable in a wide range of situations, from energetic puppies to shy pets that need extra patience. I follow routines closely, can give medications, and pay attention to small changes in behavior to help keep pets safe and healthy. I also enjoy playtime and can reinforce basic training when it’s part of their routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else’s care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet as what they are—family—and believe they deserve care, respect, and attention.

Reviews
Jorge has taken care of my dog, July, many times, and she always comes back happy. He really loves animals, and you can tell right away. He studied Animal Sciences, so he definitely knows what he is doing, but more importantly, he truly cares. He is also always looking for ways to help pets in need, whether it is supporting local shelters or even opening his home when needed. Jorge is responsible, attentive, and very caring, and he treats animals like they are part of his family.
Jorge has years of experience taking care of both young and old dogs and cats, and even cattle, sheep, and horses. He’s very attentive to their needs, constantly monitoring for changes in behavior or mood. If I could describe Jorge as a dog, he’s a golden retriever. Full of energetic and love for animals. But also calm, kind, and understanding. I’d highly recommend him for taking care of your fur babies.
