Tailored Pet Care: Love Your Pets!

Pet care experience

I bring a lifetime of personal pet care experience. I specialize in cats and puppies aged 5 to 8 weeks, as well as young dogs up to a year old. I prioritize affordability to build trust with clients. Drawing from professional dog trainers like Zak George on YouTube and Victoria Stilwell from the show 'It's Me or the Dog,' I've successfully applied positive reinforcement techniques to address behavior challenges in friends' dogs. My approach emphasizes calm positivity and high value treat rewards to build rapport with every animal I meet. Check out my cat care details for more insights. Thank you for considering me!

My schedule is unpredictable and Jay has been great and quick to respond with my last minute requests. My cat also loves spending time with Jay.

Jay was an absolutely amazing cat sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They watched my cat Kaia for a full week while I was away visiting family, and from the very beginning I felt completely at ease. Jay took the time to meet with me beforehand for a thorough meet-and-greet, went over all of my wishes and expectations, and even took notes which immediately showed how thoughtful and prepared they are. While I was away, Jay sent me detailed daily updates about Kaia’s mood and behavior, which I really appreciated. My cat can be easily overstimulated and is very picky about new people, but she warmed up to Jay surprisingly fast. That alone spoke volumes to me. It’s clear that Jay truly understands cat behavior, boundaries, and how to let a cat set the pace. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty, and I’m so grateful for the level of care, communication, and respect Jay showed both Kaia and me. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter.

Jay was amazing! She handled both of my last minute requests and was so patient with my skittish cat. I would definitely ask Jay to look after my cat again.
