Highlights
Pet care experience
Affordable dog walking & pet care
I’ve had dogs of all ages my whole life, from 10lbs to 100lbs. Not too long ago a special dog woke my passion for dog walking. The credit goes to a handsome 108lb boxer, my dad’s dog Big Mac. He’s my best friend back in Alaska whom I used to go walking with for 1-3 hours a day. At the start Mac was hardly leashed trained and an awful listener. However his enthusiasm and eagerness to learn encouraged me to continue working with him. I’d walk him every day reinforcing leash training and reactivity management, it was incredibly rewarding for me to witness how well behaved he’d become. That was when I realized that helping a dog develop a sense of security, and the skills needed to navigate life is a passion for me that I want to continue pursuing. I believe in the use of positive reinforcement methods to help guide the dogs I work with so we can both feel confident and have fun getting exercise. I believe showing understanding and patience when working with dogs is key. In the future I plan to go to school to become an animal behaviorist and trainer, but for now I’d really love to walk your dog.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Coming from Alaska where people don’t leash or watch their dogs, I know how to avoid stressful situations that may occur on a walk. Your dog will always be leashed with said leash securely attached to my person. To avoid possible confrontations I change routes when other dogs are coming, I also walk in low traffic areas. I would prefer to use a harness if possible with your pup. I’ll take the utmost care to ensure your dogs safety, my focus being on the surrounding environment and your dog.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for all the time and love you gave to Zo these last several months! You are such an incredible dog walker, we will miss you! You’re the best!
Jay is so great with my girl! It is a huge relief to have someone I know takes good care of her and genuinely enjoys walking her. He’s super friendly!
Wow! Jay did an awesome job! Our dogs are pretty active and Jay kept them entertained all week with walks and fetch. They also gave us regular updates about the dogs (which we prefer) and it helped keep our minds at ease while out of town. Jay also left our apartment better than we left it! We look forward to having Jay dog sit for us in the future :) Thanks, Jay!
Jay has been so communicative about how my little kitty Charlie is doing while I am out of state. Jay always sends photos and went above and beyond when we thought the automatic cat feeder wasn’t working. 100% will be booking again :)
I have a toy Australian shepherd that is highly anxious, fearful and energetic. I hoped that Jay could help me with my dog, because I am elderly and I find this dog hard to deal with. I was so surprised that in just a few days she taught my dog to sit, down, stay. and a few tricks. I know that she is a dog lover, I know her family has lots of dogs. And I know that she can babysit a dog, follow instructions for care, and is very reliable.
