I work mostly until the afternoon but I have help from my girlfriend to care for the animals while I’m not there. We take the animals for potty breaks each morning at 7 am, then let them wander in our home because we don’t believe in crating friends. We feed them first thing in the morning and depending on your wishes we will feed them 2-3 times a day. We then take them once again to potty and play time in the afternoon and once more at night.

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover and have been surrounded by them all my life! I have been sitting dogs for 10 years now and can’t see the day when I won’t.

Jose and his girlfriend were willing to take in Koda last minute when no one else would, and I am deeply appreciative. They were very vigilant about keeping me updated on how he was doing, sending lots of pictures and messaging me about how he was getting along with their animals. They really do show that they care and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!

Thank you to both of you that cared for our 5 dogs. I know it wasn't easy to accommodate all of their crates and also to one of my dogs who likes to get out of places. I also appreciate the videos and pictures you all sent to show how they were doing. That put my heart at ease.

2nd time leaving my huskies with Jose! Duke was thrilled to see Jose when we dropped him off. Jose does not disappoint - I appreciate the communication and pictures of the fur children on a daily basis and the fact that he understands my dogs' demeanors as if I he's known them forever. Jose administered meds for my dog and kept his cone on throughout his stay. Big thanks to Jose and his girlfriend for welcoming and caring for our pups!
