Availability

Being a graduate student gives me a lot of flexibility day‑to‑day. I do tend to be in the lab roughly 9–5 on weekdays, but that’s not a hard rule — I can usually set my own hours or work from home when I need to. With enough notice, I can usually open up my schedule for pretty much any time of day, especially for dog walking or check‑ins. Weekdays after 5pm are often the easiest by default, and weekends depend on what I’ve planned, but I’m generally able to move things around. And honestly, there are plenty of days where my schedule is wide open and I can help out on short notice too.

Safety, trust & environment

I live by myself in an apartment, so it’s easy for me to adjust to whatever your pet needs. Friends’ pets have been over plenty of times, so my place is already pet‑friendly. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to so things feel familiar for them. For walks and drop‑ins, I can adjust to whatever your and your pets needs are. I really enjoy getting outside with dogs, so walks are something I’m always happy to make time for. The only downside is that I don’t have a yard, but I make up for it with regular walks, check‑ins, and paying attention to what your pet needs to feel comfortable.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets around pretty much my whole life, so taking care of animals feels really familiar to me. I grew up with dogs and helped with all the usual day‑to‑day stuff. About five years ago my family adopted a cat, which definitely taught me a lot about how different cats can be and what they need. Since moving to Connecticut, I’ve also taken care of friends’ cats and gotten to know a bunch of different personalities. I’ve been around so many pets over the years that stepping into a new routine feels pretty natural. I’m excited to meet your pet and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and understood while you’re away.

Juan was absolutely amazing…He walked my 13 year old Chihuahua Jack for a week and was very punctual, great communication and just an overall great person…Jack doesn’t always like everyone but in no time at all he was wagging his tail in anticipation of Juan coming to get him…have no fear when booking Juan.

Juan has been an exceptional pet caregiver. He is reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to our pet’s needs. He followed all instructions carefully, kept us updated with photos and messages, and went above and beyond to ensure our pets were comfortable and happy. It’s clear Juan takes his responsibility seriously and truly care about the animals he look after. I highly recommend Juan to anyone seeking a dependable and compassionate pet caregiver.

I couldn’t be happier with the care provided to our pets. Juan is wonderful with both our dog and our cat, giving each the attention, love, and care they needed. It was clear our pets felt comfortable and happy while we were away and that means a lot to me!!. Truly dependable, kind, and trustworthy; I highly recommended.

Juan is one of the best pet sitters ever!! He’s very attentive when it comes to the needs of your pet, and showcases high levels of responsibility attending to them too. My cat loved his time with Juan, and I enjoyed all of the updates he sent so I knew for sure my cat was doing well!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
