After a few years working in the accounting industry, Jose realized that his true passion was in working with animals and more specifically, training dogs to help them and their owners have happy and safe lives together. Jose grew up with dogs and has always been an animal lover. He fostered cats and worked at a dog boarding facility while attending college, and is currently a dog dad to a 4-year-old Goldendoodle named Rex.
Since leaving accounting in 2023, Jose has worked as a dog sitter, walker and trainer. As a sitter, he would board a wide range of dogs at his home in Manayunk and take them on outings. His recurring client base loved having their pup stay with him, Rex and his wife Sarah. Jose also helped teach some of the dogs some basic commands, per their owner’s request, which led him to pursue training full-time.
On his off time, Jose enjoys visiting Blue Bell Park with his dog Rex and walking the nearby trails. He also plays soccer in a local league and does sports and event photography on the side.
