My name is Jay. You probably don't know me since I'm not famous, but I am a rock star dog sitter. Lifelong dog lover with two of my very own ages ten and eight . Rarely ever do I leave my dogs home alone. They usually come to work with me (currently working from home for the foreseeable future) or spend their days at daycare. Although they can be a bit skittish at first, they warm up and they're extremely friendly with dogs and humans. I live in the Downtown Greenville area and work as an IT Professional full-time. I have a very flexible schedule and can often take dogs as early or late as needed. I have a very small studio apartment but it’s in a great location within short walking distance of Falls Park and Cleveland Park. My complex is securely gated, elevator access, garage access plus I have a nice balcony area with a pool view so that dogs can people watch. I do not restrict dogs from being on furniture or in the bed at night but I do try to accommodate your preferences if you restrict dogs from such in your own home. I tend to be up very early in the mornings and in bed early. I love taking photos and sending photos of your pets because I ask for the same if I ever have to be away from my dogs. I enjoy taking my dogs downtown for walks or thru Cleveland Park on the weekends. I personally make raw diet meals for my dogs each day along with dry food so I can easily adjust and prepare any meal requirements for your dogs. I offered a wide variety of services and encourage anyone reading this far to reach out to some of my repeat clients for their experiences with me. As my schedule is very flexible I'm very available at a moment's notice the majority of the time. I'd love the chance to host your pups, stay overnights with them in their familiar surroundings or just drop-in with them for a half hour to an hour as often as needed while you're away. I currently work full-time almost exclusively from home. When I do go into the office, I’m only a brief five minute walk across the street. I tend to apply the rules of your home to my home for your dogs stay. My dogs always go with me when I leave for any period of time and I have a camera that I check-in on dogs frequently when I’m gone just to monitor separation anxiety. In your home I care for pets as you would in your home. Written instructions are always appreciated!

My dog was so excited to go on walks with Jay! She has a new best friend and looks forward to future walks with him. Thanks so much, Jay!!!

Jay was amazing! He was super accommodating with a last-minute meet and greet & an extended stay for Winston, which we really appreciated. Communication was quick and easy the whole time, & the daily updates and photos gave us total peace of mind while we were away. He also took the time to reinforce Winston’s tricks since he’s new to our family, which meant a lot to us. And as a sweet bonus, he even let Winston keep his favorite toy. We couldn’t recommend Jay more and will definitely be booking with him again!

So appreciated Jay being available at late notice on a busy weekend! He was great with my pup, and made her feel comfortable and at home.

A typical day

I often take my dogs on walks through Downtown Greenville areas or Cleveland Park. On the weekends I often take my dogs to Unleashed Dog Bar and would be happy to take your pup with us if they have up-to-date shot records and a membership as required by Unleashed Dog Bar. I tend to only eat out at dog friendly spots and sometimes bring dogs along with me.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
Jay can host up to 4 pets per night
No breed restrictions. Cats are welcome as well. My dogs are not bothered by cats at all and are almost always completely disinterested. I always want to be fully aware of any medications that the pet would be needing. Special meal plans, bathroom frequencies, feeding frequencies and temperaments around other dogs. Some dogs tend to behave differently while on a leash versus off.
