Highlights
Pet care experience
Basque dog lover and beautiful Cavapoochon ;-)
I was born in the Basque Country (the north of Spain) and grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs, cats, chickens, cows and many other wonderful animals until I moved to London 20 years ago. When I arrived in London I signed up for voluntary work with greyhounds (Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare), rabbits (Greenwich Rabbit Rescue) and cats (Animal Rescue and Care) until my partner and I got our own dog, Luna! I also volunteer with The Cinnamon Trust. I regularly dog-sit for friends and neighbours and they have been very happy with the care I provide. I really enjoy it, too!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very much a dog person. I dedicate lots of time to playing with them and giving them the love, attention and affection they need, but I am also quite strict and make sure I follow the owner's requests (e.g. whether or not they are allowed on the bed and sticking to set meal/treat times). I make the dogs aware of their boundaries and they quickly learn to respect me.
Ratings and reviews
Juan is always incredibly kind, reliable and flexible. He takes such great care of my little one, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s with him. He’s also very thoughtful and attentive to the little details around the house, like checking whether windows should be left open or closed, the air conditioning, and making sure everything is as it should be. You can really tell he cares and pays attention. I’m very happy to have found someone I can trust with her and would absolutely recommend him!
Juan Carlos was very caring with Milo, all went good and would recommend again!
Fantastic with our dog Paddy, thank you!
Thank you!
A great help as always - thank you!
Juan Carlos is wonderful with Paddy, can’t recommend him enough :)

- It is important to know if the dogs have any illnesses, allergies or need any treatment. It is also key to know their routine (feeding, walks, sleep, medication, etc.) and any other specific instructions. I always like to ask how well the dog has been socialised and whether they play well with bigger or smaller dogs, which can vary depending on if they are a rescue. Finally, it is always important to have their vet's details in case of emergency.
