Safety, trust & environment

In my home, the litter is scooped daily. My cat has dietary restrictions that I adhere to strictly... and access to an enclosed catio to keep her from getting bored with access to fresh air and sunshine. Prior to his passing, I took my German shepherd along on just about every hike/jog/walk with me.

Information Jose N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs and/or preferences. Please feel free to provide as much detail as possible. I have worked with several clients that have extensive routines they need followed to the letter, but am also perfectly happy to keep it simple if that's your preference.

A typical day

In addition to playing with your pet(s) and their toys, I'm happy to just keep them company for awhile... and with dogs, I'm always happy to take them on half-mile or one-mile walks if that's something they need.

Pet care experience

I've cared for cats of all ages and for multiple cats at the same time. I've cared for cats with strict dietary needs and am well-versed/experienced with administering medication(s) as required. Having a cat myself, I also understand the importance of play, company, and stimulus that they need to thrive.

I’ve trusted my fluffy, beautiful, unpredictable Maine-coin, Nabby, to Jose’s care several times in the last 5 years. He’s an excellent sitter: responsible, trustworthy, conscientious… very thoughtful. doesn’t just “feed, clean poop, and leave”… he spends time actually visiting with your furry friend. Highly recommended Jose for pet sitting. 🙏🏾

Jose has taken care of my cats on many occasions when I’ve been out of town, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. As a cat lover himself, he understands how important it is to give my little buddies plenty of attention and enrichment when their usual people aren’t home. I truly appreciate the care and thoughtfulness he brings—thank you, Jose!

Our two 7-year-old cats love Jose! Jose has come through for us as a reliable cat sitter many times. He’s great at communicating and fast to respond. I’d highly recommend him!

Fantastic cat sitter! Jose was reliable, communicative, and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. It was clear he gave our cat plenty of time and attention because we came home to a very happy guy. Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
