Pet care experience

Your pups new Auntie Jax! 🖤

Hi! I’m Jax, and I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. My first dog, Rex (Choco Lab mix), was a sweet boy and the love of my life. Rex was my first rescue pup and came with complex medical needs, and through him I learned how to administer medications, give injections, and support special needs dogs with patience and love. My current dog, Valkyrie (Presa Canario/Lab mix), is a 7-year-old, 80-pound athletic bully breed who’s full of energy and heart. She’s taught me the importance of daily exercise for managing anxiety, burning energy, and keeping dogs mentally sharp. I understand the unique challenges—and the joy—that come with different breeds and temperaments. I love finding creative ways to care for each dog as an individual, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and engaged while giving you peace of mind.

Jax always goes above and beyond when caring for our pups! She learns their individual needs and preferences, and we couldn’t be happier with the intentional care that Jax shows our girls :)

Jax took excellent care of our senior giant breed boy! He is lazy and low maintenance, but she went above and beyond, taking him on daily walks and adventures rather than just chilling on the couch with him. He gets stressed when we leave, but we could tell he had a great time with Jax!

Jax took incredible care of my pup while I was away for 12 days. There were plenty of walks, 1:1 play-time, and thoughtful updates with pictures and videos to ensure I was kept in the loop. Jax also took care of my home and cleaned up everything before I returned. Can’t wait to have Jax look after Arthur again soon! Note: Jax handles reactive dogs really well and was able to walk my leash reactive dog with care

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your dog's in your home per your instructions. I don't like to do things with pets that the parents aren't comfortable with. If the day is too hot for walking on pavement we might just play in the back yard instead. I want to be mindful of all needs and care your your pet with your plan in mind.

Pets

A typical day

I like to accommodate the personality of the dog I am with. I am a big believer that a well excersized dog is easier to train, well behaved and more content. Pets love engagement so I usually always start with walking, or a good fetch session...or playing with their favorite toy. I also love to give reward, treats and snacks after a visit.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, favorite toys, or activities in advance. I am happy to administer medication as long as they aren't aggressive about application. I have had to find many a tricky way to give meds with my own dogs so I can work with you on getting creative if we need. But I want to know what your dog likes and do all the fun things with them that they like while I am there.
