Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Lu. I have owned and taken care of friend’s and family dogs for over twenty years. I follow a flow centered on patience and proper communication within my interactions while sitting. I am calm and friendly but care most for the safety and support of the animal. I love meeting new personalities.

Lu was great! Lu arrived a few minutes early in order to meet Flora and she was instantly at ease with him. They had a great walk and it went smoothly. Lu has a lot of experience and was very competent at handling an energetic dog! Thanks!

I’ve known Luis for quite a while now, and he would be the perfect fit for your furry friend. I would trust him to watch any of my dogs or cats, without a doubt. He is very kind, and respectful, and will provide top notch care for your pup. I highly recommend Luis.

Fantastic Job! Luis B has been our private dog/house sitter for the last 8 years. Our typical agreement was 1-2 weeks at a time at 1-3 times a year while vacationing. We used Luis for a few in between week-end needs as well. We have a Great Dane and a GSP and they love him. He took them for walks, fed, watered and cleaned up after them daily. Also kept the house in order as handed over to him during his stays. What was nice to see that he has a kind heart and was never mean.

I have known Luis for only a short time, but have found him to be a man of integrity, very personable, great on follow thru and just and overall caring person. He would be an awesome candidate to care for your furry friend. I would trust him explicitly with any of my animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I look after pets with respect towards the animal to make sure they feel safe. I meet the animal on their terms so there is a natural trust that develops between us. I can protect and help create boundaries, but would never punish or act aggressive with my approach toward another.

Information Luis B. would like to know about your pet

The information I would like to know ahead of time is centered around the personality of that specific dog and their unique needs with food and safety spaces to ensure the dog’s comfort throughout the interactions we have.

A typical day

I have a few places I usually go in town to walk with dogs. Both East and West Cliff are good spots to enjoy while also making it to a dog park if that particular dog works well with other dogs. When dogs prefer more isolated walks, Harvey West is nice as well as Frederick St to name a couple of the many parks Santa Cruz has to offer.
