Say yes to treats and playtime!

Pet care experience

Back in my hometown in Alaska, I started sitting and doing walks just by word of mouth through friends, families, neighbors and colleagues. Soon over the years, my contacts just grew and grew! It was rewarding spending my time with all these amazing animals and getting to know their awesome parents! But down the road I realized there could be others out there who needed my help. Rover allowed me to connect to people who didn’t have the luxury of having someone they knew and trusted to care for their beloved fur babies, especially for those who recently moved from another state. Since my move in 2021, I’m now ready and excited to start new adventures and build some awesome memories with your animals! I’m a very patient and intuitive person and I believe those qualities allow me to be better at understanding a dog’s needs, personality and energy level (even for cats!). I’d be sure to exercise any commands and mannerisms they already know. I’m open minded to all breeds, especially mutts! I’ve had experience in caring for large breeds, (i.e. Huskies, Malamutes, Newfoundlands, Retrievers, Labs, Boxers, American Pit Bull Terriers, etc) along with medium/smaller breeds (i.e. Bulldogs, Corgis, Pugs, Maltese, Yorkies, Terriers, Dachshunds, Toy Poodles, Chihuahuas, etc). No act is too big or too small. Whether it’s hours of play time or just a relaxing day of tummy rubs, I’m happy to do both!

Jay is absolutely the best sitter you could find. She is the best we've met so far on Rover, or any other way, for our 6 years old dog. She is responsive, always on time, reliable, and most importantly she cares about your pets and understands they are part of the family. We loved the walk photos and videos and her detailed reports, too. We highly recommend her and would definitely call her again.

Jay was amazing. She was so excited to meet my two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and was great at checking in.

At this time, I am not boarding pets in my house. But I am more than happy to travel to have them stay comfortably in your own home. I always make sure they have access to fresh water and to be able to relieve themselves frequently.

Information Jay L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have had any history of (extreme) aggressive behavior, past injuries/surgeries, separation anxiety, any basic commands, whether or not they are kennel trained, housebroken, and any usual fun activities they enjoy doing!

A typical day

I personally would try take to them on walks that would cater to their energy level. Whether it’s a calm and easygoing stroll around the neighborhood, or a brisk speed walk to their favorite park, I’m happy to do both!
