Certified Cat Dad and Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Growing up, I lived with my grandparents who had a big yard of 7 dogs, playing and walking with them almost daily throughout my childhood. When I turned 17, my partner and I adopted a beautiful tuxedo cat named Richard, and have learned so much on how to connect and care for cats. I also took 2 years of small animal care classes at vocational where I learned how to care for all kinds of animals. During the pandemic I worked at Rogers Bark Pet Salon as a bather/receptionist, learning how to properly care for dogs while they get a nice bath and blow dry before their big hair cut. I also brushed out dogs and gave out nail trimmings for clients due for some clipping. Working there I learned I had a tremendous love for dogs that I want to take further into a career, eventually into dog grooming itself. I also cat sit for my sister twice a month, so I am pretty versatile with both kinds of animals. Any care you and your little (or big) friend needs, I’ll be there to help!
Reviews
Jarred was very attentive and sent detailed updates. 5 stars!
My pup always looks forward to Jarred’s walks. He’s very sweet and attentive with our dog and takes the best photos!
Jarred is so great with our very energetic and slightly reactive dog on their walks.
My go to sitter! Jarred is Greta & the cats adore him

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For drop ins, walks and pet sits I can provide treats (if desired) and toys for some play time. I keep poopy bags in my Care pack along with a emergency leash and collapsable water bowl. When I’m with a dog I think of it as a child in terms of care - constant attention to ensure their safety is key. I’m willing to give your dog the best time while you’re enjoying yourself or just too busy working hard!
Information Jarred O. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if your dog has any aggression issues, medical issues or special needs and I will make sure everything goes well! I love to accomodate! If your dog has no issues getting baths I am willing to also do baths as I am experienced with dogs of all ages in bathing from a nice small dog salon.
A typical day
I’d love to take your dog around parks nearby, get some excercise and play some fetch with some toys I keep in my backpack. I love getting to run around with them and keep the energy going!
