Highlights
Pet care experience
Pogi's dad in Union City
I have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, and fish since I was a boy and currently am a rescue foster provider for special needs dogs with Queen's Best Stumpy Dog Rescue. I'm familiar with handling biters & barkers, shedders, droolers, epileptic dogs, anxious and disabled dogs. Comfortable with dogs that just want calm rest & space, long walks, or those that want to play. Familiar with handling medicine, wet & dry dog food. Little dogs and big dogs are just fine. I even have a dog stroller! Experience with crate training, pressure and release, tap and turn, sit, heel, lay down, turn, paw, fetch, place. Happy to provide multiple photos during our time together. Adopt don't shop!

Ratings and reviews
Update review: RJ is great! He has been walking Remy for a few months now and gets along with him so well. He takes amazing photos and videos during their walk and most recently taught him the “shake” command and is working on a new one.
This was my first time using Rover and after meet and greets, I chose RJ to come care for my dog, Wyatt. RJ’s communication and pet sitting care are superb. Wyatt is a special needs dog because of his elbow dysplasia, so he needs specific care. RJ followed my instructions and he asked relevant questions when in doubt. He took pictures and videos which gave me assurance that all was well while I was gone and that Wyatt was happy. I will definitely reschedule RJ to care for Wyatt again. Thank you, RJ!
RJ takes such good care of Remy and every time he comes to pick him up for a walk he gets super excited to go out and explore. He’s very detailed about their adventures and always sends the cutest pictures and videos from their walks together.
RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.
RJ is a pro. Asks very pointed questions beforehand and communicates very clearly. Provides you with clear updates before, during, and after. 👍👍👍
RJ has nearly two decades of experience caring for and caregiving for dogs, including special needs dogs. He knows how to cater to each dog’s personality while ensuring he provides what is best for the individual dog in terms of needs. He is personable and professional, and will love on your dog like his own.

Schedule
I am currently between tech jobs and available in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work around caring for our Foster dog, working on repairs around the house, volunteering, and my job search. I'm also a State of California Substitute Teacher and am caught up on my DOJ/FBI fingerprints.
