Friendly and passionate Dog Home

Pet care experience

I have always been drawn to the unique personalities and loyalty of our furry friends, and my passion for understanding their behavior has led me to pursue a studies and certifiations in dog psychology. As a certified dog psychologist, I have undergone extensive training in canine behavior and have gained a deep understanding of the complex dynamics between dogs and their owners. I believe that every dog is unique and deserves a customized approach to their training and behavior modification. My goal as a dog psychologist is to help pet owners and their beloved dogs live harmoniously together by addressing behavioral issues, building strong bonds, and promoting positive reinforcement. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to both dogs and their owners. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since my childhood. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have great and deep experience of dealing with any size and breed of dogs. I find such spiritual peace and divine feeling to be with these furry creatures and love to spend time with them. I have been serving as a volunteer at local dog shelters as well. Its always nice to be around these pure souls and give them maximum love and care.

The best Rover sitter! J D truly loves dogs, and it’s a great feeling to know we’re leaving our dog with someone who cares about their well-being. J D took care of our senior dog Nemo, with lots of warmth and affection. When we picked him he didn’t seem anxious to leave, he was so relaxed. J D was also flexible and accommodating with our scheduling needs, he’s professional and reliable all around.

JD made our babies feel at home and comfortable. He sent a ton of pictures every day so we knew they were doing well. It made being away from them so much easier. Will definitely use him again.

JD. Was great with Cali. She is not very social and JD supported in calming her and supporting her with other dogs. He was also very flexible as our flight was delayed. Thank you. We will definitely recommend JD.

JD did a great job taking care of Milo along with a dozen other dogs. The pictures showed them in their daily routines, all getting along together, and looking happy. I also learned a couple of training tips from JD.

Information J D. would like to know about your pet

Would love to know the dog's routine, favorite activities, food, places, tasks to make the baby feel more at home. Would also love to know the dog behavior pattern or anything that the owner wants to improve on. I am a dog psychologist and can mentor and train dogs for any new things owners want the pet to learn.

A typical day

Love to make our furry baby feel at home. I love to bond with them by training and teaching them new tricks to keep them entertained. Also love long walks and visits to dog parks for enriching experiences. Some of the activities that I always plan are: - Practice basic commands and make it a part of practice - Play in the backyard after a few intervals to make them engaged - Plan walks and breaks to ensure all basic needs are fulfilled - Add some new tricks learning along with obedience and behavior improvements Love to add up more items as and when required.

I can make them a part of my routine and it's always fun to have them around and ensure they are happy, calm and engaged productively. I love to take long walks, play, and make them learn new things in a fun way. I always plan my day in an organized way to ensure the furry buddy is getting appropriate time for meals, training, play, rest, breaks and be merry. Its always fun to bond with them in a calm way to make them embed in your routines. So it comes so naturally and automatically that we spend a happy day and time just fly.
