Safety, trust & environment

In my clients’ homes, I create a calm and safe environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I have extensive experience caring for special needs cats and dogs—administering medications, supporting shy or anxious pets, and ensuring comfort from playful kittens to senior dogs. Whether it’s enrichment, grooming, or medical care, I adjust to the pet’s personality and routine. While I primarily offer care in your home, we can discuss the best arrangement for your pet’s comfort and safety. My goal is always to build trust and provide peace of mind.

Information Jared M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any daily habits of your pets and what their favorite things are. My goal is for them to be excited when they see me, so any tools are appreciated, even if they’re ridiculous

A typical day

I try to be the highlight of your pets day, whether they’re an intensely energetic 100lb dog, or an extremely shy diva cat. Running a rescue for multiple years and growing up with 4-6 dogs at a time, hardly anything is out of my area of comfort. That being said, I can read your animals well and know how much or how little to give them as far as live, care, and stimulation.

OC Dog Runs & Rescue Manager

Pet care experience

With three years of managing an animal rescue and a lifetime of caring for dogs and cats, I bring both passion and expertise. I specialize in high-energy dog running, capable of long distances—even with big breeds like huskies. Beyond that, I’m experienced in house-sitting and caring for pets with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications (including insulin) and providing care for conditions like cerebellar hypoplasia or megaesophagus. Whether your pet needs a fun run or specialized care, I’m here to help them thrive! ***FOR DOG RUNS: FEE IS “ADDITIONAL DOG” UNDER WALK*** <<<depending on your dog, I can run them up to 3 miles within 30 minutes

Jared has been wonderful with our anxious little dog, Noodle! He took the time to sit down and meet her while we chatted about her behavior and needs, and patiently gave her the space to get comfortable with him. He is clearly passionate about his work with pets, and I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in his good hands. Will definitely be booking more session!

Jared was great, making sure he tired Bya out every day. My home was taken care of, and Bya was happy! I will definitely use him again.
