Information Jay C. would like to know about your pet

Is he/she active or more sedentary? Does he/she like other dogs? Is he/she considered friendly or a challenge? How long can they be left alone? Is he/she have a free run of the house or only specific areas of the house? Is he/she allergic to anything? These are a few things that are good for me to know before we head out on our own together.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, we could take a drive, go on a hike, play fetch, or find an excellent park to sniff around. If your pup is a snuggler, there is always room for two on the couch and time to chill poolside.

Pet care experience

Hello - I am a seasoned pet care professional with experience in caring for domestic and farm animals. As an only child, I had dogs, cats, mice, and birds as my best friends. I was the kid that the neighbors asked to walk their dogs, and feed their cats when they went out of town. My pet care business has been a side gig for over two decades, and it's been a joy to become friends with many of my clients and take part in their pets' lives. I've worked as an adoption counselor and humane education instructor for SPCLA and as a kennel attendant for Santa Monica Animal Control. As an animal advocate, I care for animals at all stages of life. If I'm not in the Coachella Valley/Greater Palm Springs, I'm traveling to clients elsewhere. If you want to book my services, feel free to reach out with any questions.

Awesome as usual! Had to take care of a AC service issue while we were gone, sooooo happy she was there and able to monitor and manage the situation! Doggies love Jay and we always have peace of mind when she is caring for them!
