Pet care experience

Life long dog lover!

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and I treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and young pups still learning manners. I’m attentive to behavioral cues, committed to maintaining routines, and great at keeping dogs calm, happy, and safe. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddle time, I make sure each dog feels cared for and loved. My first “job” was at 11 years old as the neighborhood dog watcher. I started a boarding company called “DogGone” and was entrusted at a really young age and to take care of loved ones and never disappointed.

Jay did an amazing job with Hazel! He sent many pictures and videos and kept me updated very frequently. Hazel loved playing with his dog Otis! Had a beautiful and spacious property for the dogs to play. Will most definitely be using Jay again!!

We had an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we met Jay, it was clear how much he truly cares about dogs. Our pup was so happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire stay. We received regular updates, photos, and great communication, which gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog—always the best sign. We will 100% be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter.

Very attentive, gave frequent updates, and took amazing care of my dog during new years. She was very happy to be there and warmed up quickly.

I’ve known Jay for years and can confidently say that dogs love him. He was gentle, patient, and responsible with my dog Noodle. When I returned back from my 3 week honeymoon Noodle did not want to leave his lake house. It was very quiet with a spacious yard. He also has a very large covered deck where noodle was able to lay out of the sun.

Schedule

I’ve worked from home for over 5 years, which allows me to be fully present and attentive with pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and check-ins. My flexible schedule ensures your pet receives consistent companionship and care, not just occasional supervision.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who can keep your pup company if desired. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and can separate or crate as needed to match your pet’s personality and routine. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my priority, and I treat every guest dog as if they were my own. Also live on a private lake if your dogs love to swim. The lake is separated by my fence if that is of concern.
