Visiting Animal Friends

Pet care experience

About Me I’m an animal welfare enthusiast who commits full-time to caring for your fur babies. They will get stellar care with me. I have raised and taken care of dogs, cats, goats, and chickens of my own, neighbors, family, and friends since I was in elementary school. I grew up on a small farm. I raised two dogs from puppyhood, and a cat we domesticated, successfully, from the wild. Senior and end of life animals do not intimidate me. I have provided end of life care for dogs and cats. I spend my spare time care taking animals, attending classes toward my doctor of vet medicine, sporting, practicing yoga, cooking vegan, and writing. I love to treat, exercise, feed, bathe, brush, play, and give company to animals. Privacy A note on privacy to people new to this, or new to feminism, **please inform me if you have a “nanny cam” or any cameras that can see me during my stay and all of their locations. It is creepy not to and I reserve the right to not book with you in the future if you don’t share this information with me. Reviews If you’re happy with the work I’ve done for you and your fur child, please consider writing a review for my profile! The best way that you can help me and the animals I serve is by leaving a review. It means a lot to me and substantially betters my business. I really appreciate it! I am a big communicator and enjoy taking photos with your animals! Photography is a passion of mine and no doubt I will send you some good animal pics! If you don’t want pictures of your animals to show up on my profile, I can text you photos instead.

Jay is kind, a clear and timely communicator, and a delight to have around my older anxious rescue dog! I would absolutely hire Jay again.

First time using Jay and they were great! We have a 12 week old puppy and a 13 year old pug. They took super good care of both dogs, followed instructions well, and were super respectful of our home…they even washed our bedding and towels before we got home! Communication from the very beginning all the way to the end was great… we received so many cute photos of the dogs which gave us comfort knowing they were getting lots of attention while we were away. We 100% would recommend Jay and book them again!

Jay took excellent care of our beloved, elderly fur baby! ? They were very patient with our sweet boy, who has several unique needs as he’s aging. Jay was also very patient with me, a somewhat anxious dog mom, and sent me plenty of adorable photos and updates throughout their 4-night stay in our home. I felt completely at ease, knowing our boy was receiving exceptional and attentive care from Jay. It allowed us to fully enjoy our trip away. Our home was also left in great shape. I have high standards for pet/house sitters, and I highly recommend Jay!

I prefer to take care of pets in an environment that is already familiar to them. But if you do need them cared for out of your home my place is available. I live by Lake Merritt so walks with me are easy!

Information Jay T. would like to know about your pet

Are they spayed/neutered? Do they get along with all dogs? Do they need anything special while you’re away such as a routine or medicine? Who’s your veterinarian in case of emergency?

A typical day

I enjoy ☺️ walks, fetch, jogging, teaching good walk etiquete and baths/showers for doggies. I love caring for cats by chatting them up on the couch with pets, teaching them tricks and playing with them until they’re tired.
