From Stablehand to Pet Sitter.

Pet care experience

I have been my friends and family go to for pet care for many years. Cats, dogs, fish, hedgehogs, there aren't many small animals I haven't taken care of. I have two professional years as a Stable Manager working with horses and all the dogs that came with them. After the farm got sold I settled down in New Bedford, MA and look to help other people and bring a little joy and butt scratches to all pets lives.

I was nervous about someone other than my family taking care of our boy, but Jason is wonderful. He takes great care of Chunk. Chunk looks forward to his days with Jason and looks for him when he’s gone.

Like any pet mother, my animals are my world, and there is no one I trust more to care for them in my absence than Jason. He has cared for my two horses and my cat many times over the past 5 years. He goes above and beyond, in addition to making sure that their comfort, needs and care are met, he spends quality time with them, showers them with affection and has astute attention to anything that may be slightly different than usual. He is communicative throughout the time he cares for them sending updates and photos, making sure that you are assured that they are happy and content. There aren't words enough to adequately express how much I recommend Jason. Trust him with your animals and you'll always be able to travel with peace and comfort of mind.

Jason is phenomenal with animals of all kinds. He’s watched my dogs, bunnies and horses. My pups absolutely adore him. I trust him with them 100%!

Jason is a wonderful pet-sitter. He’s been taking care of my pets, on and off, for nearly 9 years. From 2013-2015 he would take care of my pet hedgehog who needed medication administered when I went away. From 2017 to 2021 I reached out intermittently, and if he was available to look after my two cats when I went away for longer vacations he always took great care of them (mindful of their distinct personalities and always scooped the litter boxes). And finally, since I’ve moved in with my partner, we’ve acquired two dogs and three more cats, for a total of 7 pets and Jason takes phenomenal care of them when we go on vacation. He always adheres to the animals’ dietary restrictions, takes the pups on long walks (they love him), makes sure to brush all the cats, and leaves our home even cleaner than we left it. 11/10, would recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I approach dogs/cats/pets the same way I approach horses. Slowly and with respect. Every dog/cat/pet is their own person and I am coming into their world. I understand that and will do what I can to make sure they understand that too. Slow movements, slow actions, soft words until we are friendly then wherever your pet leads me I will follow. Be it onto a walk, to play on the cat tree with their favorite toy, or nap in the sun (Huge fan of sun naps). That being said, I acknowledge boundaries/rules set by owners and strive to stay within those lines. Rules will be followed and a firm voice applied. I hope that this ensures that every visit is to your satisfaction and the pets enjoyment.
