Pet care experience
Animals are my life’s joy. I’ve raised, worked with, or owned dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, insects, fish, echinoderms, crustaceans, and many others since I was a kid. I’ve worked as a trainer at the world's most visited zoo, interned at the Gulf Breeze Zoo in the cats a primates department, volunteered with the Department of Natural Resources, and have published multiple children’s science books on animals. With a diverse range of animal care expertise and a passion for wildlife photography 📷, I'm well-equipped to cater to all your pet's needs.
Reviews
As a zoo professional, I have high standards for the care of my pets. Jay has been a pet-sitter for me for about 2 years now. He is a kind, compassionate person with a strong animal background. His love for nature, all critters, insights and knowledge of animal behavior have made the time away from my animals much less stressful for me. I trust him implicitly with my animals. He is easy-going, reliable and has a strong, what I like to refer to as, "animal-sense". I highly recommend him for any service that Rover has to offer.
About Jay G.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
All animals benefit from a routine that fits their species and behavior. Right now, I have an incredible canine companion named Daizy. We have a daily schedule as follows: wake-up snuggles, breakfast, bathroom walk, chill time, long walk for exercise and socialization, nap time, playtime, bathroom walk and walk to explore, and finally dinner and bedtime snuggles.
Information Jay G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how well your dog gets along with others or if they might need more special one-on-one time. I can accommodate any energy level from older and slow-paced, to energized and full speed.
A typical day
We walk around the neighborhood where there are shaded streets, an open park, an off-leash dog park, shaded benches, and lots of smells to explore. I also live within sight of Balboa Park, which we frequent often.
