Ratings and reviews
My pups are generally a bit nervous around strangers, but they love Jared! I had to abruptly discontinue my weekly walks due to a family emergency but I’d recommend him to anyone, and hope to recommence the walks and other pet care with him soon!
Awesome communication - I loved all the pup photos. Thanks for helping me feel relaxed while I was away for the weekend, I’d love to work with you again!!
Jared gave me postings every day with pictures. Loki came back home very happy to see us and looking well cared for. He was there 6 days.
Our dog, Chloe, had a great time hanging out with Jared while we were away for a few days. Jared was attentive and sent us lots of pics to update us on how she was doing. It was evident that she was happy and well cared for. Will definitely ask him to sit for us again.
Jared and his Fiance where amazing. Prompt feedback, multiple pictures every visit and I was able to enjoy a small vacation knowing they we there. They even went as far as to come meet my dog Hachi early to get to know him. 100% satisfied and they are very trustworthy. Reserve them. mic drop
Responded right away. Josie and Jared were very sweet, and treated Brownie like their own. Definitely will use them again!

Schedule
Currently, I am employed on a Monday through Saturday schedule, working from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am personally available outside these hours, otherwise I am supported by family. To ensure that my clients’ beloved furry companions receive a loving and responsive home away from home, I am supported by my wife and younger brother. This collaborative effort guarantees that the cherished family pet is never left alone and is always in the care of dedicated individuals.
