Home full time, lots of energy

Pet care experience

I grew up in home of dog rescuers! Ever since I was a baby, there has been many dogs running around our home. My father (Manuel Z.) is a famous dog trainer in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for an organization called, Dog For Life, a non-profit animal rescue group who works in Puerto Vallarta and Victoria, Canada. This organization works personally with each rescue dog found in Puerto Vallarta or at the local pound. We work to rehabilitate them, socialize and training before finding their forever home either in Mexico or Canada. I had the opportunity to work along side my father with various volunteering tasks at the shelter with Dog For Life, including; walking dogs, playing and socializing them, bathing, and assisting with training techniques. Prior to working with Dog For Life, I also worked at SPCA Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There I worked as a paid employee as a dog walker and assisting the veterinarian care, in which we had to adhere to specific protocols and daily needs for some of the dogs including administering of medication, cutting nails feeding, etc. With my background growing up with a father who is a passionate dog trainer and rescuer, I have come to have the same love and passion for animals as my father. I was fortunate to observe and learn from him in how to rehabilitate aggressive, apprehensive dogs as well as train many types of breeds from, pitbulls who had a past of being beaten and raised to fight, to spoiled chihuahuas who misbehave and chew their owners favorite shoes. In addition to my love for dogs and their well-being, I am also a Marine Biologist. Not only am I comfortable around all types of dogs, I have expansive familiarity with other types of animals. I have worked closely with many types of reptiles during my studies and research as a Marine Biologist. Me, my wife and my friendly Chihuahua, Lulu would be more than happy to take care of your doggy!

Julian was an awesome host for our puppy Wilbur for the day. It was Wilbur’s first time at any kind of doggie day care experience, and Julian provided us plenty of updates throughout the day, which made us feel reassured that he was safe and well cared for. We got pictures from their walk to the Capitol and Wilbur playing with his toys at their home. He also had a great time with their very sweet chihuahua, Lulu. Would absolutely recommend.

Julian took great care of our bulldog Uecker. He sent regular updates with pictures and videos. We appreciated that he was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would book with Julian again!

Julian gave Ellie and Nico lots extra special attention during our 9 days away! When we came to pick them up, our pups were happy to see us, but also so very calm. It was clear that they had a lot of fun and felt safe and nurtured. Not to mention, they had plenty of fun romping around with Little Lulu, their adorable chihuahua! Will definitely book with them again! They had a great time!

Information Julian Z. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know if they have any specific medical needs, behavior quirks or play preferences. Also I would request to know if they have issues with other dogs and people.

A typical day

I will take your dog to any dog park of your liking. I also live close to James Madison Park, so we can stroll along the lake. I will play ball with your dog or any other toy they prefer. I will also enjoy snuggling on the couch and watching Netflix with your pup!
