Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy You

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and recently lost my own, who I raised and trained from a puppy. That experience taught me how much patience, love, and consistency it takes to care for a dog well. I understand that every pup has their own personality and needs, and I make it my goal to keep them feeling safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every dog like family.

Jay took great care of our pup Coco. Coco seemed to be at ease with Jay and family. He was very responsive and sent us lots of pictures of Coco while we were away. Would recommend and book Jay again.

Jay took great care of our dog Nemo while we were away. He gave us daily updates and Nemo was relaxed and at ease with him! We will definitely be using him again.

Jay was great with my dog-reactive Doberman. Was able to administer multiple medications to him as well.

Jay was absolutely wonderful with Anna our German Shepherd. She went right up to him. She went willingly with him and she showed no signs of anxiety whatsoever when we picked her up. He did a beautiful job and he was very, very nice and kind. I totally recommend him for your animals

Jay took amazing care of my husky and went above and beyond in every way. My dog can be a bit high-energy, but Jay handled him with such patience, love, and confidence, it was clear from the start that he genuinely cares about animals. I got regular updates, photos, and videos, and my husky looked so happy and well exercised every single day. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Jay enough he’s truly an exceptional dog sitter and someone I completely trust with my pup!

Schedule

I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets the attention they deserve. Walks, playtime, and cuddles easily fit into my routine, and I love having animals around while I work. It keeps me active, happy, and helps pets feel secure knowing someone’s always nearby.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax, fresh water at all times, and plenty of love and attention. I follow their usual routines—walks, feeding times, play, and quiet rest—to help them feel safe and at home while you’re away.

A typical day

I plan activities based on each pet’s energy level and preferences. Walks, play sessions, training refreshers, or enrichment games are all part of keeping pets engaged and content. I make sure they get exercise, attention, and plenty of positive interaction every day.
