I work remote at my part time job so I’m able to do extended stays or sporadic walks! I do not have a car so all visits must be within uber or public transport distance, but exceptions can be made if compensated :) As demand has increased for my services, I may not get to your baby at a set time unless necessary. Please specify in our intake process or during your booking if you can or cannot be flexible, as I can maneuver my schedule.

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I am a big believer in being intuitive with what the pet needs, which means being respectful to their innate schedules. I adhere to medication and mealtimes, allow them to rest before and after walks to avoid bloating, giving them quiet time, doing the appropriate intensity of playtime based on the dog, etc. All visits also get a lot of videos and photos plus detailed and fun recaps of their days.

Information Jade G. would like to know about your pet

Medical history or anything to be aware of, behavioral issues and quirks, triggers, things they enjoy, what to give in moderation (treats, walk times, etc), how they work with children and other animals, if they pull, etc.

A typical day

Belly rubs for days, fetch, dance parties, a lot of naps, Sopranos marathon, bird watching, dog park visits (if they’re into it), snuggles, long walks

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a professional journalist and professor currently between jobs, and I have a passion for animals!! With over a decade of experience working both independently and with companies, I love connecting with animals and getting to their level. I have experience with animals of all kinds, from anxiety-ridden Weimaraners to elderly Pomeranians who require medication every 3 hours. From puppies to lil old lady dogs, I do it all and I would love to build trust with your beloved babies!

Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!

Jade was so kind and patient with our cat Nutmeg, our feisty girl! Jade sent detailed updates, included pictures and videos; and most importantly, really developed a bond with our cat. Jade is responsive, professional in her communication, and easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend her for your pet!

I'm a bit of a hoverparent, so I was really happy with how communicative Jade was the entire time we were away. We got lots of updates on what our little weirdo was doing and how he was responding, complete with pics and videos. He seemed to have had a great time with Jade and we returned home to a totally chill and unbothered doggo.
