Looking to walk dogs
Pet care experience
In 2018, I decided that I wanted to work with dogs; however, I had very little experience with dogs. To gain experience, I decided to volunteer at the SPCA on Florin Perkins Road. Along with taking college courses at CRC and volunteering at the SPCA I have earned 70+ hours of volunteer service. The majority of volunteer work I do there is giving treats to the dogs in the kennels while also using a clicker. On occasion I would go into the kennels and hang out with the dogs; playing with them and giving them treats. Early 2020, now with some experience working with dogs and feeling more confident, I began the steps to start volunteering at the Elk Grove Shelter. As I was going through orientation at the Elk Grove shelter, COVID hit and everything started shutting down. At the beginning of summer, I took two online classes, one about Dog CPR and another about Dog behavior.
Reviews
We used to live in Elk Grove and we were going on vacation at Lake Tahoe and we have a West Highland Terrier who is 12 years old and use to stay at Petsmart when we went on vacation. Jared was recommended by a family friend as taking care of dogs. We contacted him and he agreed to meet our dog. Currently our dog was taking medication for an ear infection. Jared made friends with our dog Malarkey and he took directions for feeing him as he uses prescription dog food and how to give him his ear medication. We kept in contact daily and he met all of our dog's needs. We were thrilled as we felt very comfortable in having Jared take care of our picky dog. Jared's attention to details about our dog and his note taking really impressed us.
Jared is a very caring and soft spoken person, who will take excellent care of your dogs. He is looking to start off by walking dogs and gaining as much experience as he can to eventualy become a dog sitter. He is very responsible and punctual and your dogs would be in excellent hands.
Jared would be an excellent dog walker and sitter. He has loved animals since he was a little boy. In the past few years he has become more interested in dog behavior and training. We have 2 cats and a large great dane. He has helped with all of our animals. He is responsible, caring and loving to all animals. Any animal would be lucky to have Jared's companionship and dog walking skills.
Jared is a young man made of kindness, gentleness and honesty, all which seems so lacking in many these days. He has been training at SSPCA, is a college student with a high GPA, and would like to own a German Shepherd some day. I have 2 poodle-mix dogs, and they love him. Should I be able to travel in the near future, he will be the sole caregiver with all responsibility for their care. I trust him implicitly.
