Be the person your dog thinks you are!

Pet care experience

I love dogs. Simple as that. I haven't had the chance to have one, but for four years now I have been taking care of my sister's dog. We make a great team, I love her and she loves me. I have taken care of her sometimes just over the weekend, or other times for full 6 months. We have even traveled by plane together and been to the sea, everyone needs a little break from the city. Pepa is her name, she is a wonderful stray dog, medium sized and she is now happily living with my sister and her new borns in Colombia. She is great and get constantly sent pictures of her. I can offer playtime, exercise and extra cuddles. And in case the owners allow, I can also offer treats, hopefully in exchange of some trick. From small breeds to big breeds, I assure you that your dog will have a great time with me and he will be safe. I live near Finsbury Park and many other small parks, and I know the area well, so this is always helpful when it comes to sitting dogs. I am new to London but looking forward to know the city through its dogs and parks, I believe that's a great way. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life which allows me to have experience with dogs that have high energy levels, that require activities and working out. I also have experience dealing with dogs with authoritative personalities. Other than that, I am a 29 years old architect and I am originally from Colombia but currently doing a masters in London. I'm currently doing a masters, but have class only Tuesdays and Thursdays so between that I have some free time to dog sit. Also I can look after dogs on weekends as well. I am pretty flexible with my time. I absolutely guide myself by the rules of the owner so the pet's safety will be the first thing, but I never lose them out of sight and will always try to be after them and will always ask for any specific recommendations in terms of which spaces of the house are allowed for the dog. I also like to check for closed doors and windows depending on the house.

José Luis is a really nice guy and definitely someone we can trust with our dog. He cares for her well, and she came back happy and healthy. Thank you!

José Luis took great care of our dog. He was very friendly, communicative and open, always keeping us updated. He clearly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. We’re really happy to have him nearby, and have already booked our dog for a longer stay with him.

Jose agreed to look after our pup over the summer long weekend. It was by chance we came upon Jose’s profile as it’s beyond our usual radius. Jose was great in organising Meet ‘n Greet and at first instance we saw he was great with dogs and also comfortable handling big ones. His calm demeanour worked wonders on our dog. When we took him back home after 4 nights , my daughter commented on how beautiful he smelt . my pup was definitely brushed , walked and well looked after during the period he stayed with Jose. On the day of pick up, we had a slight incident with the trains running late and I was late for the pick up. Jose was considerate and kindly waited for us for the extra hours.

José Luis is an absolute superstar. He's looked after our dog both in our and his own home and our little Whippet was always return to us relaxed, happy and ready for another nap. José has been great at keeping us updated (with some very cute pics of our pooch) and general communication with him is easy. Really appreciate how well he looks after our dog and hope he'll be available in the future. Thank you, José!

Information José Luis H. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences in dogs, but I do like to know if there is anything particular I would need to know about the dog, previously to our encounter, just to make sure to have everything ready. Any special needs or care is something important to know before so I can come prepared.

A typical day

I will take them on nice walks around their park of preference, we can play and jump to get that energy out before coming back home.
