Availability
Any pets under my care take priority in my schedule outside of my work as a part time driving instructor. The rest of the time I'm all theirs! I take pride in all of my work, and my level of pet care makes that very clear.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat all animals with respect and kindness. My approach is positive reinforcement only - gentle, firm and backed by real science. With my experience caring for animals of all ability levels and temperaments, I am comfortable administering any medications. The same care, attentiveness, and professionalism applies to all of my work.
Home
Information Jared A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your pet's specific needs and challenges so I can accommodate them appropriately and set them at ease! It is especially important for me to know if your dog is reactive to men, as many are, and I am one. I pride myself on working well with dogs that others label aggressive or difficult. It's all about building a relationship! The more I know ahead of time, the better experience I can provide for you and your pet.
A typical day
My favorite activity to do with pups is to bring them into nature. Natural areas are my favorite places to be and provide endless sources of stimulation for dogs. Though I also understand well that different breeds have different enrichment needs, and will tailor time spent with your pup(s) to what they will like best. I'll give your cats all the space they need and all the attention/playtime they might desire. I'm also happy to give them supervised outside time if you have a portable cat carrier or a very trusted harness!

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is the diversity and depth of my experience. I have cared for animals in AZA Accredited Zoos and Aquariums in addition to beloved pets. I am a Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist (CCTBS) with the Animal Behavior Institute, and my methods are backed by empirical scientific evidence. No matter what the service, I treat my responsibilities with the utmost care and attentiveness. I am also more than happy to accept reactive and fear-aggressive pups, for which much of my experience involves. :)

Reviews

Jared was super flexible after I messed up the booking. As always, his took fantastic care of Noodle. Thanks you, Jared!
I can’t express how thankful we are for Jared house-sitting our dog Jack this week. He even fed our fish and kept a plant alive for me! Daily photos, great care of Jack. Thank you again Jared! Would definitely recommend.

Jared made a last minute scheduled visit to check on my pup after she had a rough night not feeling well! It was much appreciated!

Noodle always enjoys her walks with Jared!
