Pet care experience

Animals before people!

I’m the someone who says hello to animals before people.😊 i’ve worked with dogs of every size and temperament – the anxious ones, the reactive ones, the seniors who need a gentle or pace, and the puppies who need a patient hand. I don’t rush animals. I let them set the tone. I’m equally comfortable with cats, including ones with attitude. Multi pet households, specific feeding schedules, and medication administration are all things I’ve handled and take seriously. Would actually set me apart: I pay attention. I’ll notice if your dog is drinking less water, seems off, or is acting differently than you described. I communicate that. You won’t be left wondering how things are going. I’ve been the person friends and family call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals – not just someone available. There’s a difference, and most pet owners can feel it.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals with love – I treat them as just another being in this world who can give and receive love. I’m patient in calm with every animal I work with. I don’t rush them, I don’t force it. I let them come to me. Your home and your animal are safe with me. I treat every home I’m in with respect.

House Sitting • Nov 30, 2024

Jared did a great job with Nate and it sounds like they became good buddies. The house was left in good shape, too. We would definitely consider hiring Jared again should the need arise.

Drop-In Visits • Dec 29, 2021

Jared was an amazing pet sitter, and my cat Buffy immediately loved him. He sent pictures of Buffy playing and eating and just chilling on his lap (Buffy's favorite activity). I felt confident that while I was away my cat was being taken good care of.

Jared grew up with animals and has always shown great love for them. He's compassionate, trustworthy and will treat your pet(s) as if they were his own. Give him a shot!

I have never met a person who loves animals more than Jared! We have lived and taken care of pets together and he is responsible, caring, passionate and reliable. You couldn’t find a better person for the job!

Jared is very gentle with all types of animals. He has much patience. I have watched him training my dog & has done a great job. Animals respond to him in a very positive manner.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule in genuine availability throughout the day – mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m not squeezing pet care between a packed calendar. When I commit to a visit or a walk, I’m actually there and fully present. I’m reliable about timing and will always communicate if anything changes.

Jared can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before any booking, I’d love to know: – Your pet’s daily routine and feeding schedule – Any medications or special dietary needs – What they’re like with strangers(human or animal)– do they warm up fast or need time? – Any triggers – other dogs, loud noises, specific situations – Their favorite activities and what calms them down – Emergency vet contact and any health conditions I should know about The more you tell me upfront, the better I can show up for them from day one. No detail is too small.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
