About Luis

I'm a Mexican biologist and photographer. I've had pets my whole life: cats, dogs, horses. Right now, I have no pets. As such, I've dog and catsitted for 3 years now, because I love interacting with them.

Any holidays I get now, I spend them taking care of animals (horses, sheep, sheep + sheepdogs). I love doing sports together, like cycling, running and hillwalking. I used to live with a Border Collie (the one on the photo) and we'd play mind games and I'd teach her new words every day. I finished my master's degree in Evolutionary Biology at the RUG, and I'm a freelance photographer, as well as a full-time remote programmer. I've been travelling around for studies and working for the last 9 years or so. I love taking pictures of animals (and people) as well, trying to get their personalities in the photo. I can offer the optional service of professional pet photos (prints or digital) for an additional fee. I also love learning about animal behaviour.

I live with my girlfriend in Groningen, and at the moment we like to go from house sitting to house sitting, since we can't have pets at our house. Since a lot of my work is computer-based, I work from home most days. I like to go running/walking with the dogs to the surrounding forest, and maybe have some fun taking pictures of them indoors and outdoors. We are also very cuddly with animals in general, and love having them in the bed.

I like to walks dogs three times per day (for half an hour to an hour each walk). As for cats, we love playing with them and stimulating them (if they're up for it).

Luis was absolutely great with my dog! Very calm and attentive. Updated me every day about her and also took great care of my house. More so, he caught in time that my dog got ill, took her to the vet and gave her medicine she required after that. I am so glad that we met and would gladly give him more stars if it was possible. Highly recommended!!!

Luis and his girlfriend Miranda took very nice care of my cat. They sent regular updates and spent lots of time in her company. They also had really nice chemistry with my pet. I felt relaxed knowing that my cat was in good hands. Will definitely book again in the future :)
