Pet care experience

Attentive and personalized care!

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!

Jay is a caring & thoughtful dog sitter. Our dog is not an easy one and he was very patient with her. He lives in a very dog friendly building & his dog made my dog feel more at home. I would highly recommend his services!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a good sized one bedroom on the top floor of my elevator and doorman building. I live adjacent to two parks (Morningside and central) and near riverside park. I keep local 24/7 emergency vets and vet ambulance info on my fridge (have never had to use thankfully) and I only use well researched safe and natural snacks and if needed or can give what you provide.

Pets

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!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Jay can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
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.
