Safety, trust & environment

In home: Keep breakables/chewables up away from their level/area, teach good boundaries (off/out certain areas), and always double-check locks/doors/gates. Quick look for any stress signs like chewing/scratching, h2o and temperature check. A safe home den is important! I clean dishes & tools after feeding & grooming. I like to do a positive-affirmation dominance exercise at their bed to encourage bonding and discipline - would love to teach you this easy training trick too! Out-of home: Depends on the pets' training level, but ALWAYS err on the side of caution! Always use leashes, looped around the arm and anchored with the other hand, and I encourage single-side-only walking. Able to effectively manage social situations for your anxious ones. I stay very involved while at off-leash parks to maintain good recall and keep safe watch. Hydration and local no-animal laws are watched closely too!

Information Jacoby L. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to work with any special needs your pets may have. Please let me know anything large or small - medical needs, toy preferences, dietary guides, or even what side you/they like to walk on.

A typical day

I am very outdoorsy and would love to get your dog some sunshine too! Activities are largely breed specific! Mid sized breeds are great fitness buddies and my favorite to train, large dogs should be physically engaged more gently for heart/hip issues, toy breeds often need special attention with toy or puzzle interaction, hunting/herding breeds are fun with fetching and agility games. Always remember hydration before and after activities too! Aging or sick pets enjoy doggy yoga or massage/grooming.

Looking for furry friends!

Pet care experience

Most my life has had domestic, exotic, and wild animals in it - I should've been a vet 🤣 I engage the breed's particular play styles for mental stimulation, get them involved and active, and though I've never professionally taught as a trainer I did foster a service dog and am always getting friend's pets/wild animals to do tricks or behavior work. Have helped birth litters of cats and dogs, and have properly managed a few other small medical treatments. Each pet is unique and I am happy to work with you to get the best supportive care for your furry family members - looking forward to helping with short or long walks, mild grooming, basic obedience work, feedings/medication aid, and can discuss short term sitting.

Kai was so amazing with my dogs and really kept me updated about the happenings at home. I felt very confident and happy about his care!!

Kai, did a fine job with Toby. He kept me informed on Toby's status and took him to the park regularly and was aware of tobys boundaries on my property and addressed them accordingly i would recommend Kai to care for your pet and most likely will use him in the future
