Dog loving specialist on duty.
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Jose. I grew up in a barn with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, cows, and chickens. I owned a pooch named Chavo as a child. I’ve worked with other canines including a neighbor's Golden Retriever and others through Rover. I plan to get a dog-walking certification, and I’m always researching articles about dog walking and pet care. In my home, I have a designated room for pets. It is well-ventilated, air-conditioned, and has access to sunlight. There are no other pets in my home. My neighborhood is very friendly, safe, close to public transportation, and near lots of pet-supply stores. I also have access to a car and a clean driving record. My availability for pet sitting is flexible. I'm a freelancer, so I set my own schedule. I work part-time (about 30 hours per week). My current job will have little to no impact on my pet sitting business. I'm available on weeknights, weekends, and holidays. Pet sitting is my top priority.
Reviews
5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the way! Highly recommended!!
Jose was prompt in responding to my request as I needed an emergency walk. He obviously knows how to get along with dogs as the meet and greet was excellent. Jose gained Oddie's trust in a matter of minutes. He was informed about the instructions for taking care of Oddie. He also asked reasonable questions and sent me pictures of Oddie during the walk. I would recommend Jose to my friends and family!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I keep the owner updated with daily pictures and brief descriptions. Keeping a good communication with the owner is essential. Also, I make sure of reading the pet's profile for any special instructions. I'm very observant when going outside on walks to make sure the pet is safe at all times.
Home
Information Jose L. would like to know about your pet
Has your dog ever been violent with other animals or people? Is there a part of the body your pup does or doesn’t like to be touched? Are there any sounds or objects they are afraid of? I like to keep notes of any special instructions provided by the owner about feeding, training, or other important things about their pet.
A typical day
When I care for a pooch, I like using treats (approved by the owner, of course) to teach them positive behaviors. I love playing tug-of-war and can bring the rope toy with me. When I pet sit, I like to let the dogs be themselves, and want them to come to me only once they feel like they trust me. I'm comfortable cleaning litter boxes or disposing of any other pet waste. When we go outside, I’ll start by taking your pet through the neighborhood to establish a known walking route. Then we might head to the park where I’ll observe their behavior around other people and dogs. I'm very observant of the environment and the animal’s body language. This allows me to identify potential dangers and handle them accordingly. Eventually, I’ll ask your permission to bring them to a dog park so that they can interact and socialize with other pups. My customer service involves having good communication with my human clients. I like to give them a report on how things went. I’ll take high-quality pictures of your pet to keep you updated throughout their stay. When it comes to my canine clients, I treat them like they’re my own –– with patience and a positive, friendly, and playful attitude. I have a flexible schedule and am open to a long-term business relationship with my clients.

When I'm on pet duty, I love to spend valuable time with our furry friend. That involves a healthy amount of walks and play time. I'm really good at following instructions when it comes to feeding, medication and any other requests from the owner. I like to keep my apartment clean and safe.
