Peaceful Mini-Vacation For Your Pet
Pet care experience
I've spent my entire life around dogs, from having family dogs as a kid, to having dogs of my own. I started watching dogs in 2009 for some of the clients I had through my personal training business. I understand that dogs have their own unique personalities, and I do my best to accommodate their needs to make them feel comfortable. Fitness is a big part of my life, so dogs will get good exercise when they hang out with me. I'm currently unable to do walks, but the dogs still get plenty of exercise throughout the day in my fenced-in yard. Over the years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, and turtles. I have experience with puppies, old dogs with hip issues and incontinence, high-energy dogs, and dogs with arthritis.
Reviews
Can’t recommend Jared highly enough! He was great with our pups and they loved their stay with him
We are so grateful to Jared for taking such a good care of our girl Lucy, and keeping us updated everyday with pictures and stories! We were so glad to know she wasn't confined to a lonely kennel, had other dogs to play with, and someone to make her feel safe and cared for. Thank you again Jared!
Jared is perfect. Responsible and caring, providing a nice safe environment. I would recommend him to anyone.
Jared was a great sitter as always!

Safety, trust & environment
A portion of my yard is fenced-in, so the dogs can run around and play freely while we're out there. I have plenty of dog beds, food/water bowls, and toys, so if you could please just bring their leash and their food, they should be all set. We go outside for pee breaks every couple of hours, and I'm always out there with them to supervise.

Information Jared R. would like to know about your pet
Here are some of the most important questions I'll ask ahead of time: • Does your dog get along well with other dogs? I typically have other dogs with me during the day for day care and boarding. If your dog does not get along well with other dogs, unfortunately I might not be able to watch him/her. I can separate dogs when necessary (for example, when it comes to feeding them or when it's time to take a break from playing), but I'm unable to accommodate dogs that show aggression towards other dogs. As much as I'd like to watch them all, I have to do what's best to ensure the safety and well being of all the dogs under my care. • Does you dog have separation anxiety? I'm home for the majority of the day, but I might have to do a drop-in visit or do a pick-up/drop-off. Since it's just me at the house, I'm unable to board dogs that have severe separation anxiety since there would be no one else to watch them if I have to step out. Unfortunately I'm unable to board dogs that whine or bark excessively since that can lead to the other dogs getting anxious as well. • Does your dog have any special needs? If your dog has any special needs (medications, needs help standing up or moving around, incontinence, etc.), I'll ask about it in advance so I have time to make any necessary preparations before their arrival. • Is your dog housebroken? It's not unusual for new dogs to be disoriented during their first stay (typically for the first day or two), and even housebroken dogs might have an accident when they arrive. I won't be able to board dogs that are not housebroken though, since lingering odors from frequent accidents may cause other dogs to urinate in the house as well. • Scheduling Please try to be as specific as possible with drop-off/pick-up times as I prefer to put the other dogs in secure areas when arrivals and departures take place. Also, please give me a heads up when you're on your way, as well as your estimated time of arrival so I know when to expect you.
A typical day
Here's a list of activities your dog can participate in during his/her stay: - Excavating imaginary treasure in the side yard - Energized fetch sessions with an assortment of sticks and balls - Observing crafty turkeys, deer, and chipmunks from the deck - Bird/squirrel watching by the feeder - Intense battles of tug-of-war - Lots of pets and attention

Availability
I do pet care full time now, so I'm almost always available to watch pets (sometimes spots fill up quickly though). I typically have at least 5 dogs with me each day for daycare/boarding, so it might be difficult for me to do drop-in visits on certain days. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me even if I'm listed as "unavailable" on a particular date as I try my best to accommodate additional dogs when possible.
