Fortunately my schedule is super flexible. I'm able to work whenever I like which makes working with animals extremely convenient. My wife and I have a dog of our own, but we're often fostering dogs or caring for dogs via Rover. Dogs are a huge passion of mine, and I'm incredibly thankful I can help out!

Information Jared R. would like to know about your pet

Our dog Maui has been around LOTS of other dogs. He goes just about everywhere with us, so he's very socialized, and with us having watched so many dogs he has been exposed to quite a lot. Even though our dog is great with other dogs, we still like to introduce new dogs to each other slowly. We like to have new dogs meet each other in a neutral space where we can slowly introduce one another on a walk. This way tensions are low and we can get things started on a good foot. My wife and I have lots of experience with this and are happy to handle this entirely for you if you like. We can also arrange pick ups and drop offs if needed, and are happy to arrange meet and greets if you'd like to visit before your dogs stays with us.

A typical day

With dogs I care for I always like to match the activities we do to the breed, their energy level, and the dogs personalities. We can go for short or long walks. Car trips to different parks around town. Swims in the kiddie pool in the summer time. Trick and obedience training with positive reinforcement. Playing with toys or just relaxing with dogs and giving them lots of love and attention.

I love dogs and would love to help!

Pet care experience

My wife and I own a beauty studio which allows us to have a pretty flexible schedule. We like to use our extra time to help out. I've always had a passion for dogs and love spending time with our mini Aussie Maui. Our dog is super friendly! He loves kids and other dogs and seems to always have a huge smile on his face. I love taking our pup on long walks on the Greenbelt and for swims around the hill country. I've been a dog owner for 30+ years and I am confident I'll provide a safe and positive experience for you and your dog!

Jared cared so well for my dog and spent plenty of time making sure he'd be comfortable and a good fit for his home. Would be glad to have him board Rudy again!

Outstanding Care! Finding an exceptional pet sitter for your furry family member is not easy so we felt incredibly fortunate to find Jared. He took care of our Frenchie, Halo, for 17 nights, and despite the initial stress of leaving him for so long, Jared immediately put our minds at ease. He has a calm, confident presence so Halo warmed up to him immediately, even though it normally takes him a bit. Jared was incredibly diligent with all of Halo's specific instructions, including feeding him his fresh food diet, putting on his bug collar before walks, and using his cooling neck gator when the weather was a little too warm. Jared even took it upon himself to eliminate any chance of Halo running out the front door by putting up a puppy gate. Jared’s communication was also outstanding – we received daily and detailed updates that included photos. What truly set him apart was how he handled things when Halo unexpectedly got sick. Not only did Jared take Halo to the vet and later drive back to pick up his medication, he also prepared special meals for him and ensured he got all of his medication right on schedule. On top of the incredible care, Halo had a blast playing with Jared’s dog, Maui! It was clear Halo was not only safe and well-cared for, but genuinely happy, which made our trip worry-free. If you are looking for THE BEST pet sitter, look no further than Jared. He is truly amazing!

Jared was wonderful with my 6month old puppy! He was so loving to him. He sent me lots of photos and updates which made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with him. Teddy had a great time and I will definitely use Jared again!
