Pet care experience
Special Needs & Senior Dog Care
For the past 5 years, I’ve provided daily hands-on care for my two dogs, including a senior Chihuahua mix with advanced heart disease and special mobility needs. My experience includes administering routine care, oral medications, monitoring comfort and energy levels, and adjusting walks for senior, small breed, and special-needs dogs. I live 100 feet from a dog run/park as well as a large park with walking paths(see last images). My complex has a dog washing station that’s highly maintained. I’m equipped with standard and locking leashes for larger dogs, harnesses, a carrier, a stroller, and Lifting Harnesses(helps with stairs) to safely accommodate puppies, seniors, and dogs who need extra support or mobility assistance. I ONLY use 304-grade stainless steel for food and water but if your dog prefers their bowl that’s no issue. My boy peanut has recently passed away so only my dog pepper will be part of meet an greets
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jack is very conscientious, kind, and knowledgeable about dog care, especially senior dogs with special needs. My dog seemed to feel comfortable around him immediately, and had a great time playing with another small dog he was sitting. I trust Jack to take great care of my dog and would very happily book him again.
Jack and Pepper are the best! He sent us daily pics and updates even when we wouldn't receive updates. Tito came back happy and enjoyed his time with them. 100/10 recommend.
Jack was exceptional! He has a very clean home and cares deeply about your pet. He spent a lot of time asking questions to make sure he knew exactly how to care for my dog. His neighborhood is very dog friendly, has a fenced in off leash area, and many shaded areas to ensure your dog can still get time outside, even when it’s hot. Jack was quick to respond to any questions I had and even sent daily updates.
Jack was awesome with Leon! A great communicator, reliable, and I picked up Leon - he was exhausted from all of the exercise and fun that Jack provided. Could not ask for a better sitter to watch my boy!
So thoughtful, attentive to details, and communicative. I can tell that taking care of dogs with special needs is something Jack has done often & is well equipped to handle.
Very responsive and attentive. Thoughtful and able to handle a challenging elderly dog.

Schedule
I’m currently walking dogs full time. My schedule is extremely flexible and I’m open to complicated time frames as dogs lives can be just as challenging as our own. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to help.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don't just sit dogs, I welcome them into my heart! I treat every pup with the same level of care and affection I would give a human family member. I have two dogs of my own who are part of the family, so your pup will have plenty of company and friends to play with. My home is set up to be a love-filled, comfortable space where your dog's happiness is my number one priority. I do have a kennel available if that is what your dog is used to or for their safety at night, but I am very open to a completely cage-free experience if they prefer to lounge on the rug or snuggle on the couch!
