Caring dog lover looking to help
Pet care experience
Hi there! I am a first year PhD student studying Microbiology and Infectious Disease at UVA, and I am excited to meet you and your pets! While I hope to get a dog of my own very soon, until then, I look forward to spending time outside of school caring for your furry friends. I have extensive experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages through my time volunteering at the No Kill Los Angeles Animal Shelter and the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago. This included practicing socialization skills and basic training for younger or less well trained dogs and caring for both cats and kittens in both shelters. I also grew up with my own dog, a yellow lab named Lolly, who passed away a few years ago and who I miss very much. While getting my undergraduate degree at UCLA, I worked with a few families extensively, becoming their daily dog walker and pet sitter. I enjoyed being able to form a stronger relationship with both the animal and owners, allowing me to build trust and become a more beneficial caregiver.
Reviews
Jack M. was great with our dog. He kept a great eye on him and gave us updates! Highly recommend.
Jack is an absolute angel and my dog and I are so lucky to have found him. He was so patient and loving with Teddy. He is one of our favorite dog walkers ever!
Jack is incredible! My dog, Summit, absolutely LOVES him and is ecstatic when Jack comes to get him. Jack is completely trustworthy and reliable, and I am so happy I found him! I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog walker!
Jack was such a great sitter for our little Luna! He was very communicative, punctual, and responsible. Great job and thank you!
About Jack M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will be respectful and caring of both your dog and your property and make sure to treat both as if they are my own. I’ve made some great relationships with past clients and ended up helping out with other things like picking up packages and helping out around the house.
Information Jack M. would like to know about your pet
I am very open to working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and sizes. I got very used to adapting my own style to fit that of any dog in my time volunteering at the shelter. As long as you let me know in advance what you need, I am sure I can make it work!
A typical day
In the past I have mostly worked with younger, larger dogs who have required longer walks (1-2 hours) so I am used to building strong relationships with the dogs I take care of. I have also had a lot of fun taking them to dog parks and play dates if that is something your pup usually enjoys.

Availability
I am typically free outside standard business hours (9am-5pm), but do have some flexibility for short check ins/house visits during the day as needed. While I usually prefer to work consistently with a few animals on a regular schedule, I am also available for vacation or short term care as needed.
