Exercise and care for any-sized dog

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs since I was a child. I have owned small dogs, medium-sized dogs, and even large ones. I love them all no matter the size and love to provide the attention that they need and deserve. In the past, I have obedience trained several dogs. I have also cared for dogs with social anxiety as well as those with special needs.

Jay was amazing with my two dogs, Jaxie and Jaco. He was punctual and reliable. I was not feeling good, and he helped me with short notice. I'd definitely keep him in mind for the next time! 🐕

Jay has been great with my two dogs. He’s helped me twice while I haven’t been feeling well to walk my dogs. I contacted him with short notice, and he was quick to respond. He has also been reliable and punctual. Thank you, Jay!

Jay S. did a wonderful job watching our dogs! He updated me daily with a picture, took the dogs on long walks, and even took care of some flowers we got while we were gone. He is dependable and great at communicating. The dogs were happy and well loved.

Jay is our go-to sitter for our challenging 4 legged friend. Our dog is anxious and unfriendly to most strangers both human and canine. Jay’s calm demeanor puts our dog at ease, and he is always incredibly timely, reliable, and responsible when it comes to coming to our home and caring for our dog. We couldn’t recommend him more!

I have a fenced yard in the back of my house that is a perfect roaming spot for dogs. I offer toys and treats to keep dogs occupied and use their energy in a positive way.

Information Jay S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues that would affect how I approach them and how I let them approach other animals. This can be anything from anxiety to being overly playful. Anything that will make it easier for me to care for your dog and keep it (and others) safe.

A typical day

I love to play tug of war with dogs and find ways to entertain them in a constructive way. I take dogs on numerous walks throughout the day at least one longer walk to tire them out. I also love taking dogs to the park for socialization.

I work full time at home and have several hours a day during my afternoons that I'd like to dedicate to walking dogs. This was once the time I devoted to my own dog and would now like to use to care for others' dogs.
