Pet care experience
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
Going out of town is so easy and stress free with Jose!
Jose is always very prompt, communicative and caring with our dog. He makes her feel comfortable and we feel very fortunate to have him as a walker.
Jose and Valerie are the perfect hosts! Extremely experienced, kind, and well rounded to understand your dogs needs. We always look forward to waking up and having Jose give a recap of our dogs day with pictures. Your pet is in great hands with these two!
Jose and Valerie were the greatest caregivers for our pup when we went on vacation and boarded him there! They’re extremely responsive, give daily updates with pics, and make sure he’s cared to his normal schedule as if he were still at home with us. We’re thankful to have found someone who treats our dog as if it’s their own.
Jose is fantastic! Reliable and super caring and wonderful with Copper!
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.

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.

- 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?
