Chicago Guy for Chicago Pets
I'm ready to help you with your pet as I've had a wide variety of pets throughout my life and know how important they are to you and your family. I realize that plans and schedules change, so I am pretty flexible with when and where you would need help. I am fully vaccinated and boosted, but I can do virtual meet and greets if requested and will respect all social distancing and sanitizing needs for any in-person meet and greet. Dogs of most sizes are welcome and we can talk about your pet's specific needs. I've lived in Chicago for most of my life, and I can get to you and your pet quickly and easily. I'm very comfortable and familiar with the city and our various neighborhoods so I can take your pet to the park, a walk on the 606 trail or just around your neighborhood. If you are heading out on a trip, I can drop in on your pets and bring in your mail and packages, or I can host them at my home and give them plenty of room to run around in my fenced-in backyard or walks to our nearby parks. I have being caring for pets via Rover full-time since August of 2019, caring and walking pets and dogs of all sizes, from 5lbs to 120 lbs. I have a fenced-in backyard and your pet will have access to the entire 1st floor and our fully furnished basement. I provide a warm and friendly home environment and will adhere to your walking, feeding and training schedule as best I can.

Ratings and reviews
Jose is an incredible walker. I've used him for a few years and he is always incredibly caring, attentive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.
We are so grateful for Jose!! When my daughter had surgery, Jose watched my dogs with no notice. He is so reliable and kind.
Jose and family are the greatest hosts! We’ve been blessed to have Jose watch over our Gracie on multiple occasions and we can rest assured that Gracie is well taken care of. My only worry is that she won’t want to leave and come home with us! Thankful for Rover as well and this service.
Jose has been an amazing dog walker, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he gives my dog. He’s always on time v and flexible for our schedule and his communication is excellent — I always know when he’s arrived, how the walk went, and how my dog is doing. What really stands out is how engaged he is during the walks. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with my dog and pays attention to her energy and personality. I feel completely confident knowing my dog is in such caring and reliable hands.
Always A+ service from Jose
Jose is my go-to for boarding. He is easy to work with, flexible, and is happy to come up with solutions to make drop off/pick up work with my schedule. I have peace of mind knowing my girl is in his hands while I’m away. I could not ask for a better person to keep my dog safe and loved in my absence. 11/10 ⭐️

Schedule
I am available to board your pups most days of the year. I do board from multiple families at once, so the dogs have friends to keep them company and keep each other entertained.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced in backyard, a fully finished basement for those rainy, extra hot or extra cold days and often times I have other pups here to keep each other company.
A typical day
I like to walk through parks and wide open spaces as there is room to relax and take a break if your dog needs it. There is always plenty of activity to keep your pets engaged and active at parks, even in this uncertain time that we are in. They can chase squirrels up trees, chase a huge leaf on the path or say hello to their friends that we may meet. I always carry treats, bags, extra leashes and a water bowl, so your pet and I are ready for our walking or drop in adventure.
