Chicago Guy for Chicago Pets

Pet care experience

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.

Jose boarded our pittie Hazel for 5 days while we were out of town and we were totally satisfied with how it all went. We will definitely book again and will recommend him to friends and family.

José was a Godsend, we felt comfortable leaving our Gracie from the greet and meet. Jose share a few tips with us, showed so much love to our Gracie. We greatly appreciate how caring and diligent Jose was with our Gracie, it truly made a difference for us as well during our trip away from home. Thank you Jose!

We love Jose! He is always accommodating and super patient with our senior dog. I love getting photos and updates on a regular basis when we’re away, and even though Hank is always excited to see us when we’re back, I can tell that he’s had a good time.

Information Jose R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know what triggers your pet has, what dos and don'ts I should know, and what they enjoy doing. Please let me know if there is any training that you are currently working with them on. Do they prefer a lot of alone time or do they like to stay engaged playing fetch in the yard or tug of war? When boarding, are your pets comfortable around cats? Do they like to say hello or will they just go about their day?

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.
