Information Jay B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any diet, activity, medication, or other special needs your fur child has. I also have a very friend shih-tzu chihuahua mix, so let me know if there are any concerns about that. I typically don’t crate since I don’t have to leave the dogs alone, but if you are crate or potty training, im happy to reinforce any behaviors you are trying to instill.

A typical day

Walks, fetch, treat games, and letting the dog sleep (dogs love sleep). But my main priority is what you expect or want for your fur family member while they are in my home!

Pet care experience

Before moving to the Northeast, I volunteered and assisted a pet behaviorist working to get digs with behavioral concerns ready to be adopted. In addition to extensive sitting, I have fostered and even worked with behavioral clients (dogs) by having them stay with me. My philosophy is dogs are a miracle of nature and deserve the same care and love we give to our human family members. When your fur child is with me, they will be treated like family. I live adjacent to two parks in a doorman building. I work from home so can meet any attention and walking frequency needs. However, I pride myself in tailoring my care to what the pet needs and what the client asks for.

Jay and Dani are some of Rosie’s favorite friends in the world. I appreciate how good of care Jay always takes of my dear sweet Rosie, who is a frequent visitor of his household. Thank you, Jay!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
