We lost our beloved boxer Duke on Black Friday 2025 after a bout with an aggressive lymphoma. I miss having our buddy around, but I'm not ready to own another dog yet. I need some time to heal. I figured I would bridge the gap, by walking and watching other people's pups. I currently work part-time, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and dependable availability for walks and drop-ins, including daytime visits and occasional last-minute needs.

Safety, trust & environment

For walks and drop-ins, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. During visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s personality and energy level. On walks, I prioritize safety, consistent pacing, and giving your dog a chance to enjoy exercise and stimulation. I also make sure your home is secure before leaving and will provide updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Information Jose M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their routine, temperament, any medical needs, dietary restrictions, triggers, and how they interact with people or other pets so I can provide safe, comfortable, consistent care.

A typical day

I keep things active, safe, and tailored to each pet’s personality. Walks, playtime, fetch, and mental stimulation games are a must. For calmer pets, I’m all about relaxed companionship, belly rubs, and keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and happy.

Jose is absolutely amazing and my go-to person every time I travel! He's watched all 3 of my dogs at once, which is no small feat, and he handled it like a total pro. Throughout every trip, he checked in regularly, sent photos, and always made sure I felt reassured that my pups were in great hands, which meant the world to me. The biggest tell? My dogs absolutely light up whenever they see him. That kind of trust and bond doesn't happen by accident, it's a reflection of how much care and attention Jose gives them. If you're looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals, look no further. I won't trust my dogs with anyone else!
