🐾 Lifelong Dog Lover & Caregiver

I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember and have always had a natural connection with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog may need exercise, attention, space, comfort, or a change in routine. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of dogs, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to details, follow care instructions carefully, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule can vary from week to week, so I recommend reaching out before booking to confirm availability. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 7yr old dog as well so there will be some who speaks the same language as them lol! There’s plenty of dog parks in the area that are walking distance. If entering your home, please provide instructions so that your pet feels safe

Jalen was very dependable and communicative. He asked thorough questions and made sure to follow care instructions. He sent many pictures and if there was a delay in coming by he notified me well in advance of what to expect, but he was on time for everything. I will definitely be using him in the future for his services. Thank you for taking care of my baby while I was away. 🐾☺️🐶

I have had the opportunity to see Jalen interact with dogs on several occasions, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about animals. He is patient, attentive, and creates a safe, welcoming environment for the pets in his care. I have visited his home and have always been impressed by how well the dogs are cared for and how comfortable they seem around him. Beyond that, Jalen is dependable, responsible, and great with people, which makes him someone I would trust to provide excellent care and customer service. I have been talking about getting either a miniature Frenchie or a teacup Yorkie, and without a doubt, Jalen would be the person I would trust to pet sit for me. Knowing the level of care and attention he gives to animals gives me complete confidence that any pet in his care will be treated like family.

Jalen seems to have a natural connection with dogs. They always naturally gravitate toward him. Whether it’s taking them on walks, cuddling, or playing fetch. Jalen is trustworthy and responsible for making every pet feel safe and loved.
