Availability
Pet care is my full-time profession. I am home on the property seven days a week, including holidays, which allows for consistent supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. Dogs in my home receive structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, outdoor play in the fenced yard, and individual attention based on their needs. I am experienced with senior care, medication administration, and maintaining routines to help dogs feel comfortable and settled during their stay. Communication is important to me, and I provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Standard drop-off and pickup hours are 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM. Early morning or late evening appointments can be arranged with advance notice to accommodate travel schedules.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up specifically with dogs’ safety, comfort, and well-being in mind. I have a fully fenced 1½-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, play, and exercise in a calm, open setting. Outdoor time is always supervised and tailored to each dog’s energy level and comfort. After playtime, dogs come inside to a clean, air-conditioned home, where they can relax, rest, and enjoy a comfortable indoor environment. Dogs are treated as part of the household, not kept in runs or cages, unless a specific dog needs their own quiet space. Because I am on the property throughout the day, dogs are never left unattended for long periods. I focus on maintaining a safe, structured, and low stress environment, which helps dogs feel secure and settle in quickly. Especially those who may feel anxious in traditional boarding settings. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while they’re here.

Information Jay M. would like to know about your pet
For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be current on vaccinations. I maintain a clean, well supervised environment and carefully monitor group interactions. Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has: • Any medical conditions or medications • Recent illness or coughing • Behavioral concerns (anxiety, resource guarding, etc.) • Specific feeding routines or special needs Clear communication helps ensure every dog has a safe, comfortable stay. I welcome dogs of all ages and can accommodate seniors and special care cases with proper information provided in advance.
A typical day
Each day is structured but relaxed, with a healthy balance of activity and rest. Mornings begin with potty breaks and supervised outdoor time in my large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely move, explore, and burn off energy. Throughout the day, I rotate play sessions such as fetch, frisbee, and tug-of-war, along with light obedience work when appropriate. Activity levels are always matched to each dog’s personality and energy. Some love to stay active, others prefer a slower pace. Between outdoor sessions, dogs come inside to rest, eat meals, and enjoy calm one on one attention. The goal is a balanced routine that keeps dogs engaged without overstimulation. By the end of the day, most dogs are relaxed, settled, and comfortable just like they would be at home.

Pet care experience
Rover Royalty: Where Every Dog Is Treated Like a King or Queen When you leave your dog with me, you’re choosing more than basic pet sitting. You’re choosing experience, structure, and genuine care built over years of hands-on work with dogs of all types and personalities. I’m a proud member of the Pet Sitters Associates, which means I’m fully insured and committed to professional standards in pet care. Dogs in my care are handled with structure, safety, and experience every day.I’m also a professional dog handler with years of experience in AKC conformation and obedience competition. Working in the show world has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, temperament and training. From confident social dogs to those who need extra patience and one-on-one attention. Because of that background, I’m comfortable caring for: Dogs with different energy levels Dogs that need structure and routine Dogs that don’t do well in typical group settings Dogs that benefit from calm, experienced handling Many clients choose me not just because I love dogs, but because I understand them. I look forward to providing your dog with thoughtful, experienced care based on years of professional pet sitting and AKC show experience, in a calm home environment that truly puts the dog first.
Reviews
Jay is a dog whisperer! I’m so thankful we found him for our dog, Bruno. He was communicative and sent several pictures and videos. I love that we found Jay because he treats our pup like his own.
Jay is amazing love being able to have peace of mind while away and Enzo is in Jay’s care. Getting video and picture updates all throughout his stays always feel good. Jay definitely knows what he’s doing and goes above and beyond to not just make sure you are comfortable but your dog is always cared for and comfortable aswell.
If you’re looking for a dedicated sitter, look no further. I was nervous about leaving my baby with someone other than family but Jay was amazing with her. Made sure she got all the love she wanted and sent consistent updates and pictures. If you’re an anxious pet parent like myself and want to leave your baby in good hands, I recommend him for sure!
Im a regular and he is the best dog sitter. He has a lot of fun and its safe with other dogs.
