I have 2 lovely samoyedos which I love to bits, how ever due to work I cannot be with them all the time, and im looking for some one wiling to spend time with them, take them out to the park, groom them, and clean after them. Only for people that truly love animals, I wont let just any one take care of my dogs.
I would also like to learn japanese, and Im a chef so I tend to have work for cooks now and then ;)

Our stay at Juan's was just what we needed. Quality time with awesome animals and a nice place to relax and work things out regarding our future. Juan is a very chill and friendly guy, but also very quiet and into his own stuff. So don't expect him to entertain you! For entertainment you have his lovely animals who we loved to bits and miss very… read more

Juan is a very welcoming man with a big heart who really loves animals, many of his pets have been rescued by him and you can see what a big part of his life they are. His dogs are especially beautiful and will get many compliments when you are out walking them. We were only with Juan for 4 nights as we passed through Bogotá but he was very… read more

It was great sharing some time with these lovely creatures. They are very social and in need of attention. I took the dogs out, clean after them and mostly cuddle all day long. Juan is also rescuing abandoned and injured cats from the street. Such a good man.

Juan was very helpful, and his pets were very friendly! He showed me around the neighbourhood and tried to give me the best time in Bogota. I only stayed one week, but walking his dogs was my morning routine that I enjoyed it very much. If you love animals, you definitely enjoy staying at his place!

Pasamos un hermoso mes en Bogota, Juan nos ayudo con todo lo que necesitamos, estuvimos mas que cómodas y nos enamoramos de todos los bebes de la casa! Sin duda es una excelente opción si van a Bogota y aman los animales! La zona donde vivie es residencial por lo tanto muy segura, salíamos a la hora que queríamos sin problemas a su vez casa… read more

Staying with this wild family was an experience. Juan was away working most of the time so we did not really see him but we got to spend plenty of time with his dogs and kittens.

The animals are all really lovely and we enjoyed walking the dogs, entertaining them and grooming them.

The kittens became our bed friends and slept on us and… read more

I really had a good time staying with Juan, he works a lot so we didn't see each other much but he gave me some great tips for the city and the private room with bath was really nice.
The dogs are a bit wild but really lovable and going out with them always made a good start into the day, it wasn't really working.
You need to love animals, but… read more

Was a pleasure meeting Juan and his pets! And they're so funny and beautiful pets! We also could check his social project. His family certainly has a huge heart with both humans and also animals! We had a really nice moment in Bogota, thanks a lot for receiving us and we hope to see you somewhere again :D
