Pet care experience

I’m your dog’s favourite dog 😎

I am a lifelong animal lover. As a child, I assisted family, friends, and neighbours with their pets' care, as well as my own. I am now a proud pet parent of a rescue cat, a rescue dog, and a ball python. I have a knack for matching an animal's energy and acting accordingly depending on their comfort. I work well with skittish and shy pets, as well as excited and energetic ones! I am open to meet and greets with you and your pet to see how we connect!

Safety, trust & environment

I am adaptable to individual preferences. I understand that every pet owner has different needs for themselves, their pets, and their homes.I pride myself on providing a positive experience for all of my clients and making my time with your pets as seamless and enjoyable as possible! I am comfortable giving medication and keeping to strict schedules if needed. I also love sending regular pictures and videos of your pets as updates! You Are Safe With Me! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Jay is a great communicator and kept me in the loop on everything that was happening with my dogs and my home while I was gone on a trip. I got lots of pictures and updates. Everything went well!

Jay stayed with my dogs all day while I was at a family outing. He sent frequent pictures and updates. No accidents in the house while I was gone was a WIN! Thanks Jay for being so diligent about walking them frequently.

I met Jay today for a paid meet and greet with my dogs. It was a great visit!! He confirmed a few hours before the visit via text, and arrived on time for the visit. He showed up prepared, having previously read all the profile pages of each of my dogs, and asked great questions. My dogs loved him!! I have one dog who's a little more nervous to meet new people and she was very comfortable with Jay. It was obvious that Jay really loves animals and that he cares about their happiness and well-being. I'm glad this is a great fit because I have some trips coming up that I will need help with, and am lucky that Jay will be able to stay at my house!

Thank you for taking such good care of Sozin. He is so comfortable with you. It makes having to leave him a bit easier. Appreciate you. Thanks again.

Thank you for taking good care of my fireball Sozin. I could tell that he was relaxed and happy. You provide great, great service. It is so nice that you are close. I will be reaching out again very soon and throughout the year.

Jay stayed overnight with my 2 cats for 4 nights. She was a wonderful houseguest and even better with my cats! Communication was constant, she respected my home, took care of my plants as well and I will book her again for future needs.
