I'm called the dog whisperer... :)
Pet care experience
I've always been an animal lover, but i particularly love dogs. Growing up, my family couldn't have our own pets because my grandmother was allergic to cats/dogs.... So at the age of 10 years old, I decided to start my first pet sitting business in my apartment complex for all of the tenants that needed pet sitting services. Once my family moved to a house, the only way I could get my own dog was to write a research paper on how I planned to care for and train my dog. I've learned a lot and have become very good at dealing with animals from all backgrounds (Abused, shy, and friendly). My black lab of 14 years (Sadie) passed way in July 2020 so I do Rover to get my fill of dog love. I plan to get another dog soon, but until then, I love watching and caring for other people's dogs.
Reviews
Jara is great!! He’s super communicative and flexible and Damen loves him! Damen’s looking forward to his weekly time with Jara.
Jara did an amazing job taking care of Dori. We were away for our wedding and he last minute picked her up from boarding and took care of her for the rest of the week. He was attentive and catered to how she was feeling! He saved us a lot of stress and we would highly recommend him - thank you!!
Jara is fabulous! Remi is an 85 lb wolfhound/shepherd mix who believes she's 20 lbs. She's a newly adopted pup and still working on leash manners (pulling and leash reactive to small dogs), so I was nervous about finding someone who could handle her on walks. Jara is great about minding her, and keeping me up to date on what went well or what could use work after each walk. He went above and beyond to not only walk her, but take extra care in introducing her to other dogs and even spending time at the dog park!
I've known Jara for over 15 years and during that time he has watched all of my dogs and cats when I'm out of town. I've always considered dogs to be some of the judges of character around, and they are always super excited to see him. I definitely recommend him to watch anybodies pets!
