Dog Lover with Dog Parks Nearby

I'm available in downtown San Diego and I work and live in the same building. I have wanted to add a pup to my home yet the expense is a bit much for me at the moment. I live in a clean studio with hardwood floors and there are numerous parks nearby. I watch my friend's yellow labs several times a month when she travels. The extra income along with the friendships with the dogs is why I'm interested. I will take your pets potty several times throughout the day and care for them solely based on your instruction. Due to apartment living please be mindful that your pet is okay to be left alone for periods of time in regards to separation anxiety and barking. If your pup is fine at home alone during the workday, awesome! Meet my pets There are few pets in the building and most are all under 40 lbs.

Jarrod is fantastic! He checked on our cat and dog. It was a relief to have someone who could manage both of their needs, including medicine for my cat. He communicated with so much detail the entire weekend. My pets can get a little anxious when we’re away, but they were so calm when I returned, which showed me the great care and attention they received!

Jarrod was great. He came by on short notice, was accommodating with pick up change, and very attentive with our Lola. He communicated throughout her walk and updated us with photos. I would highly recommend, overall a great experience.

Jarrod took amazing care of our dog Bear over an entire weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He made sure Bear was well walked, fed, and genuinely happy the whole time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was his flexibility. When our plans changed last minute, Jarrod went out of his way to accommodate a few extra walks without hesitation. That level of reliability and care is hard to find. Highly recommend Jarrod to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsive, and great with dogs.

Jarrod was absolutely amazing! He followed all instructions perfectly, had great communication throughout the entire stay, and kept my dog safe and well cared for. He even went above and beyond by cleaning up afterward. Couldn’t recommend him more — 10/10!

Jarrod was excellent! We left our 2 year old puppy in his kind hands. Our dog was scared and he was patient and warm. We would trust him again and again!
