Pet care experience

Veteran care for dogs & cats

With extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to each animal's unique needs. What sets me apart: Puppy Care: I have the patience and consistency required to help reinforce potty training, crate routines, and basic obedience for young, high-energy pups. Senior Care: I am deeply compassionate and detail-oriented, making me highly capable of managing strict feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing the gentle, slow-paced care older pets need. Dependability: I am punctual, highly communicative, and strictly follow all care instructions provided by owners to ensure a seamless transition for your pets.

Jarrod was fantastic and took great care of our senior dog! She seemed very comfy and content at his place, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.

Jarrod was very caring, kind & helpful to relax my nervous pooch. Our girl was calm and very well cared for when we got back! Also, he was very flexible when we had a change in our plans, which really helped out.

Fantastic dog sitter! Sent updates and even helped us out when we messed up the dates on the booking and dropped our dog off a day early. Would highly recommend

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my week. I prioritize the pets I watch by adapting my daily schedule to match their established home routines. Whether you need regular weekday drop-ins, weekend care, or extended visits, I dedicate ample time each day to ensuring feeding stations are clean, medications are administered on time, and your cats get plenty of attention and playtime.

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet stays in my home, they will be entering a thoroughly pet-proofed, secure, and clean environment. I am highly safety-conscious, meaning all potentially hazardous materials are securely stored, and exterior doors and windows are strictly monitored to prevent any escapes. I provide plenty of safe, quiet spaces for pets to retreat and relax if they feel overwhelmed. I closely supervise all activities and make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging toys in a totally hazard-free zone.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is the perfect mix of dependable routine and dedicated playtime for both dogs and cats! I always start by covering the essentials: feeding, refreshing water stations, managing auto-litter boxes, and morning potty breaks. Then, the fun begins! Typical activities include: For Dogs: Stimulating walks, games of fetch, practicing tricks, and plenty of belly rubs. For Cats: Interactive play with laser pointers and wand toys, puzzle feeders for mental stimulation, and gentle lap time. The day always ends with plenty of affection and quiet companionship so every pet feels loved, relaxed, and secure while you are away.

To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for your fur family, I just need a quick rundown of their daily routine. Please let me know about any allergies, medications, or behavioral quirks (like leash reactivity for dogs, or shyness/hiding for cats). It is also incredibly helpful to get a quick overview of any automated pet tech you use, such as programmable feeders or automatic litter boxes, so I can keep their environment running flawlessly while you are gone.
