Compassion - Trust - Experience

Pet care experience

For the past three summers, I've traveled out of state to work with clients in other states and countries. In the summer of 2024, I will continue working with my desert clients in the Coachella Valley. The desert heat isn't all that fun in the summer months for our fur-covered friends, so we must plan for morning walks, pool time, and cool indoor playtime. Reach out soon to book summer walks and house-sits with me. My calendar is filling up quickly. I do care for pets nationwide. Feel free to contact me about availability dates and pet travel care. - JayC Spring & Summer working locations May & June - Los Angeles, CA… Apex, NC…Providence, Rhode Island. July - London England August (OFF) September, October, November -Palm Springs, CA

My wife and I were very nervous about leaving our dogs alone for two days. We’ve never left them for more than a day since we’ve had them. Meeting Jay through Rover was very good for us. She has a wonderful way with dogs and learned their ins and outs very quickly. I highly recommend Jay for all your pets needs!

Jay C is an experienced, reliable and safe dogsitter. She gave our dog his meds easily and kept him completely calm. We are glad we have met her!

Jay is terrific with our two whippets and they are so excited to see her when she arrives! She is very experienced, punctual and reliable with a great routine and we will book again when we are at our desert home!

(More about Me) Hello – I love long walks in the park and on the beach… with dogs. I am a compassionate, experienced, and trustworthy animal caretaker and a lifelong animal advocate. My dog, cat, mouse, and fish were my best friends growing up as an only child. I started animal-sitting and house-sitting in high school and volunteered at the local animal shelter while in college. Later I worked as a kennel technician for animal control in Southern California and a humane educator and animal adoption counselor for a Southern California non-profit organization. I am very familiar with administering medication and taking special care of senior pets. I am available and experienced and have knowledgeable care for domestic animals and some farm animals, too. 🐈🐕🐩🐓🐖🐶🐱🐭🐰 Palm Springs has been my home since 2016. I am available to care for your fur baby in Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall; all you have to do is call. ☎️

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.

Up-to-date news - I am a happy, healthy, vaccinated & boosted individual. I only work with clients who believe in the scientific benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine. I abide by all the COVID-19 mitigation detail.😁💉 I spent the summers of 2021, 2022, and 2023 as a traveling pet sitter. I have fantastic opportunities to house-sit and care for pets across the country, the United Kingdom, and France. An abundance of pandemic-adopted pups and kitties are now part of families. Folks are starting to return to the office and do business and pleasure travel again, and I am available to help calm the anxious fur babies and their humans. Many pets have become accustomed to having their humans at home due to the restrictions of the pandemic. So, if you have to head out of town for business this winter, plan to visit Palm Springs for the holidays, or are finally ready to take a vacation, I'm here to help.
