Handler for Anxious & Reactive
Hey fellow dog lovers! I’m back—and here to support pets and pet parents who just need someone who truly understands. New Rover users get $20 off your first booking: JALENB78915 A few years ago, my dog Margaux was attacked by another dog, and she became reactive almost overnight. Walks got tough. She didn’t trust strangers. We had to rebuild everything from the ground up. Since then, I’ve spent thousands of dollars and hours working with trainers, behaviorists, and resources to help her gain confidence again. It took time and patience, but now she’s thriving—and even playing nonstop with our new puppy at home. That journey taught me how to really listen to a dog’s needs, respect their boundaries, and help them feel safe. I know how challenging it can be when your pet reacts to the world differently—and how important it is to have a sitter or walker who’s calm, patient, and nonjudgmental. Whether your dog needs a little extra space, has specific routines, or just benefits from a quieter approach, I’ve got you. Every walk, drop-in, or house-sitting visit is about meeting your pet where they’re at and making them feel comfortable. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear about your dog and how I can help.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jalen always goes above and beyond, he was there for me when my cat died by having pictures I otherwise wouldn't have had access to and I'm eternally grateful for him. Recommend 110% to anyone looking for extra lovin for their fur babies.

Jalen is awesome! Grady gets so excited when Jalen comes to take him for a walk — very happy to have him in our circle.

My girl had a great walk with Jalen as prep before he dog sits. He is knowledgeable and has been very good with observing and understanding my dog.

Jalen is always communicative, takes the extra time to make sure all the bases are covered, and the care for your fur babies

Jalen was amazing! Was VERY thorough and thoughtful taking care of my reactive doggo.

Jalen communicates thoroughly and always keeps me in the loop. Would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone :)

A typical day
I will ensure I keep your pet(s) comfortable with their normal routine. However, I am very experienced with fun exercises and activities: -Walks/runs through the city -Dog park trip -Basic obedience training -Brain games But there is nothing wrong with simply lounging around the house and getting cozy!
