I’m Juan and I love dogs! When I was growing up, there was always a furry friend around and I am lucky enough to have experienced many different pups since birth. I love that dogs are creatures you can build long-term friendships with because they are so loyal, friendly, and sweet. I had some of the best companions growing up and one of my dogs, Pepper, a Border Collie, was the smartest dog I’ve ever met! I learned so much through her care and training and have taken that love and experience into the care of the pups in California. Though I haven’t worked with dogs in a professional capacity, I have been the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years, as well as a personal pet owner. As mentioned, I also grew up with many dogs around the house and currently have two pups of my own that are back home in Missouri as I get settled in California. I love spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities and can’t wait to get to know your pup too. I have experience administering oral and injected medication and feel comfortable around puppies, senior dogs, and everyone in between. Though I’m not hugely experienced with other animals, I’m well versed in animal care so I’d be happy to spend time with any of your pets on Rover. As a pet owner, I know how important communication is when caring for someone else's loved one. I’ll be sure to send you lots of text, photo, and video updates of what your pup is up to. From snoozy snapshots to playtime photos, you’ll love being updated on what your dog is up to. When I’m not pet sitting, I like to get outdoors, host BBQ’s, play guitar, and spend time with friends. Dogs are always welcome to join me in any of these activities. I’m also a student of all animals. At one point, I wanted to be a zoologist so I love learning about other creatures in the animal kingdom. Your pup will also love how much I love to stay active because that means hikes to Fremont Open Space Preserve, Cuesta Park, and other great spaces in the area. I live in a beautiful and large home in Los Altos Hills. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for furry friends. There’s room to sunbathe, play, and run both in and outside my house, especially because there are so many great spots to get cozy. Your dog is welcome to walk around, interact with people, and go on potty breaks several times per day since I’m home full-time. You’ll also love that my neighborhood is quiet and calm, with dog-friendly people and a relaxing atmosphere. There are nearby parks, trails, and green spots that I love to frequent.
