Pet care experience
I've had dogs for my entire life, I am somewhat newer to cats but my cat Ellie is my life and why I don't invite other pets into my own home. I was primarily responsible for training and socializing my Mom's dog. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. My family had a wolf-dog rescue for a period of time so I am capable of dealing with reactive or otherwise troublesome pets.
Reviews
Thanks again for taking such loving care of Oona! We really appreciate it!
Jay V. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Jay did an outstanding job housesitting for us and taking care of our reactive dog. When we returned after 14 days, our dog was calm, relaxed and happy. Even more impressive, his behavior is vastly improved and the crazed barking that characterized our walks or the arrival of visitors is almost gone. Jay really figured out what this dog needed and was able to train him while we were gone. We really appreciate all that Jay did for us while we were away.
Jay was caring and thoughtful with Oona. We returned home to a calm happy puppy. Thank you Jay!

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for each pet family is going to be unique based on the needs of both the pets and the owners. I will do my best to offer consistency in care for every pet so they feel safe and happy.
Information Jay V. would like to know about your pet
Your pet's energy level, favorite games, or walk routes are always important. Additionally knowing any high-value treats or training goals/techniques are very important for helping me prevent accidentally introducing bad habits, or even just to reinforce the good ones.
A typical day
I love playing fetch and going for long walks or even runs if your dog is up to it! Prepping peanut butter kongs or other fun treat puzzles is always a joy.

Availability
I work part-time currently, mostly evenings, so during the day I have plenty of time to stop in care for your pets. I am almost always around to pop in for an extra walk or cuddles.
