Dogs are cooler than humans.

Pet care experience

Dog sitting was my first job and hopefully will be my last. I love dogs, but was never allowed to have one as a kid. I have been a sitter for family members, neighbors, professors in college, and employers. I have been a sitter for many years and have a lot of experience with dogs. I find dogs to be incredible creatures and they are usually very entertained by me. I am high energy, responsible, organized, and trustworthy. I am new to the Los Angeles / Highland Park area and my 8-month-old lab needs some new friends! (My lab's name is Leo. He loves other dogs and is very high energy. This might take an effect on the dogs I can sit, but I am flexible.) Thank you!

Jarrett came to visit my puppy during lunch break. He did a really good job taking care of my puppy and kept me posted with pictures everyday. Thank you so much for the help Jarrett!

Jarrett is an excellent dog sitter! He's caring, timely, and really enjoys spending time with dogs. I highly recommend him for your dog sitter needs!

One of Jarrett's most prominent attributes is that he is driven by responsibility. For as long as I have known him (more than 10 years), he has put his own needs behind duty. This is evident through both his work experience and his education. Since age 14, Jarrett has been a dedicated, driven employee. Throughout high school and college, he worked at least 20 hours a week at a local grocery store, and often as many as 28 hours a week. As a result of his strong work ethic, he was given additional responsibilities. By the time his tenure at the grocery store ended, he was a senior employee and directly supervised the entire produce department. After he moved to Minneapolis, Jarrett continued to demonstrate his work ethic, working efficiently and diligently. He never shies away from going the extra mile, whether that means working extra hours in the evening or sacrificing time with his friends on the weekend. When Jarrett makes a commitment, he will stand by that commitment no matter what. Jarrett's nature as a responsible individual is equally evident in his education. Throughout high school, Jarrett pushed himself academically. Having enrolled in challenging courses and building a strong transcript, he was accepted into the prestigious Grinnell College, one of the most rigorous liberal arts colleges in the country. Even while working as many as 28 hours a week, Jarrett took challenging courses and studied hard. After four years, he graduated with a well-earned degree. As a result of his cumulative work experience and his advanced education, Jarrett has become a multi-talented individual with a dedication to others. The diligence that Jarrett demonstrates will undoubtedly show when he works as a dog caregiver. Moreover, he is an extroverted individual who can get along easily with others. He has a natural affinity for animals, especially dogs, and will be an asset to your organization. I fully support Jarrett's acceptance into your organization. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I've never met someone more capable of handling my dog than Jarrett. He is absolutely devoted to her, even though she's an old dog who doesn't get as much attention as she used to. When he comes around and plays with her, she gets so excited, it's almost like she's a puppy again.

Information Jarrett T. would like to know about your pet

No preference in breed, although I am partial to larger dogs, but I like a small pooch as much as the next caretaker. I would like to know any foods they can/cannot eat, any allergies they might have, what medications they require, if others can pet them, if they bite, and what activities they enjoy doing, after all this is about their entertainment and safety.

A typical day

I live in uptown Minneapolis, so we can go run/walk around Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, or Lake Harriet. There are also many dog parks near by. I work part-time for the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board, so I am familiar with many of the great parks in our great city. If you dog can swim, I have a 14ft kayak with a large, open storage area where a large dog could easily sit. We could kayak and swim. Finally, my roommate has a 12 year old dachshund named Cooper, so if your pooch gets along with others, they could be friends!
