Safety, trust & environment

I can offer cat sitting, giving food and medicine, socialization, cleaning the litter, etc. I can also walk, groom and give food to small and medium sized dogs.

Information Jose Q. would like to know about your pet

I’m very good at adapting to different situations, but if there’s something specific you’d like me to do for your dog or cat, just let me know, I’m always happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine just the way they like it.

A typical day

My approach really depends on each dog or cat’s personality and how trust builds between us. Sometimes that happens right away, and other times it takes a bit longer, I totally get that. If they’re playful, I love switching up toys and finding what makes them happiest. But I can also keep things calm, just sitting together, petting, or lying down nearby and giving them space. Sometimes it’s as simple as just hanging out and watching things together.

Friendly cat & dog lover

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for cats and dogs on Rover for about three years. I also shared my life with a beautiful cat for 16 years, and through her health challenges, I learned a lot about patience, empathy, and attentive care. I believe the key to connecting with animals is to respect and appreciate them in a gentle, thoughtful way, that’s what allows me to build real trust and closeness with them.

Jose was so great with my cat Roxy! He followed all of the instructions, and based on the photos my Roxy was very happy to have him around. He even watered my plant! Thanks Jose :)
