Doggy Dude “We hang out together”
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Jay. Native New Yorker. I live across the street from beautiful Morningside Park and the dog run. The Dog run has 2 fenced in areas 1 larger fenced in area and 1 smaller fenced in area and a neighborhood dogs I know pretty well over the 3 years I've lived in my home. The smaller separate dog run area for smaller dogs or dogs that may need more alone time or 1-1 attention. Near Columbia University. I've been walking dogs, a dog owner and had dogs in my family forever. I am available to become your dogs regular buddy, and do what I can to make every moment an adventure and entertaining. Love to stroll around the hood as your dogs check out the hot spots as well. I’m your dogs best friend and part of the family. Certain dogs require a run thats fine as well.
Reviews
Jay is awesome and he proved it with St. Bernard 8 month old "puppy" Keiko, which means about 80 lbs of young strong and still learning energy. It is hard to find someone who isn't scared of such a challenge, that is physically strong and understands dog psychology. My dog is great with other dogs and I told Jay this, but if you saw her behavior when she first sees another dog, you wouldn't think so. Jay took her to the doggy park, he evaluated her behavior as he approached, worked with her in a one-on-one enclosure, and he took her to play with other dogs slowly and he successfully took her to play with other dogs, a lot! He took control of her in a firm but kind way. He played with her, exposed her to the city and people and all of its dog distractions. His home is totally dog friendly and he is all about keeping her consistent to our training. I had a crazy day, and it was last minute emergency with a surgery and he worked with our schedule and our limitations that day. Keiko fist-bumped him on the way out, well, if she could she would have. She seemed happy and tired and totally comfortable with Jay and his home. Before I booked him we spoke on the phone and the feeling I got about him was right on with our experience. I wish he were closer to us as we live upstate but we will definitely be using him every time we have to be in the city with puppy monster ;) I cannot recommend him enough.
We had a last minute need for a weekend sitter. We have used Rover before, but our regular sitter was unavailable. Jay was super responsive and accommodating to our last minute need. During the meet and greet he asked all the right questions and that definitely made us feel at ease. During our trip he sent updates, photos and videos. Banksy came back happy, healthy and tired. We highly reccomend Jay for all your dog needs. He’s awesome!
Jay has been a godsend. His patience and kindness with our puppy, Otter, has made our housebreaking and training SO much easier. He’s always careful to make sure he’s following our instructions so we’re being consistent and he handles our pup with as much love as we do. And it shows! Otter dances a jig when Jay arrives and knowng that makes having to leave him just a little easier. ***** highly recommended!
Jay is very flexible and patient. He made me feel very safe about my pup being in his care, sending lots of pictures and providing important updates when needed. Everyone can't handle puppy energy, but Jay was great! Booked him many times

Information Jay B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dog behavior patterns that I should be concerned about inside and outside the house and the dogs general history with other dogs. Gets along with Male and female dogs as well as puppies. Does ANYTHING trigger aggression? How does the dog respond to all children, House trained, Barking etc.
A typical day
I live across the street from Morning side Park. I also have a dog run 200 yards from my front door. The dog run has 2 sections. A large run for many dogs and a smaller one for a more private or cautious dog run. Play ball, play dates, take a run or open to other kinds your dog enjoys doing. Playing with toys. For additional fees I can take dogs to swim, and other special offering around the city. I don't have a car but I have a very good driving record. Hikes outside the city are fine if that's an interest to discuss. On nice days I prefer to be outside most or all the days with a rest or 2. lots of water and lots of attention and play time.
