About Jared A.
Communication
Dog skills
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.
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 pet to what they will like best.

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
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!
Jared was great! He stayed at our house for 4 nights watching my dog Frieda. He followed all directions, kept us updated on how things were going, kept things clean, and was so patient with my dog who is unsure of men at first. Frieda gained a friend and we gained a sitter we can trust! I highly recommend! 🐕
