About Jack K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am respectful of your space and will happily care for your dog while asserting the boundaries and expectations that you typically set and hold regularly.
Information Jack K. would like to know about your pet
Do they react to other dogs on a walk? For example, will they bark when I enter but will greet with a tail wag? Please let me know!
A typical day
We can check out a trail, walk the sidewalks, head to the beach! We’ll play games and I’m always up for a game of fetch, of course. I’m a runner and would be happy to jog with your pup on our thirty minute, just say the word! I have a running waist leash with a safety traffic handle, happy to jog/walk (as long your pup has a harness they can wear).

Pet care experience
Feel free to book short notice, if I’m avail then I’m game! High-energy levels welcome! I have a heeler and a mini aussie mix, so I’m well-versed in high-energy and high-drive. Happy to play brain games or go for a jog-let’s burn some energy, happy to bring my jogging leash if your pup has a well fitting harness to run in. What about lower-energy pups? Of course, all energy levels are welcome! Happy to honor your dogs nose and allow them to lead the way at their own pace on a sniffari through their neighborhood or leashed on trail or beach—nose work is the best for a tired, happy, healthy dog! Looking for off-leash adventures? I’m happy to meet and learn more about you and your dogs existing expectations and boundaries re safety, recall, communication, and the tools and reward system you use—I am open to discussing off-leash adventures at Hinckley, Willard, and beyond, if it’s a good fit for all! And I have experience using e-collars (Dogtra and mini-educator brand) as a tool to support your pup and I’m open to reinforcing your conditioned training—I know first hand the commitment of time and energy to this relationship with pup, human, and tool—as long as it’s used safely, ethically, and in support/complementary of hand signals and/or verbal communication you use with your pup. What about dogs who are or can be reactive? I have experience walking reactive dogs and am confident and comfortable respecting your and your dog’s needs. For example, I totally understand if you have two dogs and they need to be walked separately. And if you have a leash-reactive pup, I’m confident navigating busy sidewalks, avoiding dog and people contact (if needed), and am comfortable walking with flat collars, martingales, gentle leaders, harnesses, and basket muzzles, as needed (and if fitted properly and used safely). Please be sure to share all of your pups known triggers (for example: bikes, kids, cars, people, small dogs), so I can be sure to meet their needs. Can’t wait to connect!
Reviews

Jack is kind, caring and was great with Tilly. They are very flexible as we had to change plans at the last minute. This was much appreciated. I feel Tilly is in good hands with Jack and will definitely have them take care of Tilly in the future. Highly recommend.

Jack was an absolute pleasure to work with!

Jack was so great with Banjo! Communicative, kind and fun!

Jack is wonderful with our little dog Walnut. Prompt and has been great with last min requests when we most need it. Thank you!
