The Active-Safe Walker and Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Jaylen (Jay). I am a university graduate as well as small business owner. I own various fishes and lobsters, a domestic cat (Storm), a black lab (Cookie) and a bearded dragon (Sparky). I am on here to get new four-friends to explore with me. I have a special skills in training for my version of Friendly Search and Rescue (Ask me about this. You'll love it!) and Off-the-leash Training; pups all the way to older dogs. I am great with walking multiple dogs. <b>How i got the name "The Active-Safe Sitter" ? </b> "The Active" comes from the brisk walks around the city and if the dog is active; We take it a step up & will go on jogs to local dog parks to mingle or long nature walks. I love to explore and love it even more when i have four-legged companions to tag along. "The Safe" comes from fun, proper and rewarding training. Because safety always comes first when exploring. So i use a "learn as we go" approach. Friends and families would leave their dogs with me to get training that would usually cost hundreds of dollars; but with me it's free because its always a prerequisite with the activities i provide. If you notice in the pictures the fur babies are attentive to their surroundings even in places they've never been.

Jaylen did a wonderful job of housesitting our 2 1/2-year old Lab Willie and 8-year old Dobie mix Shadow while we were out of town. Not only was he consistent and timely in feeding and playing with them both throughout his stay, he also had to exercise them in the midst of a snow storm which made things that much more challenging for them all. Jalen even took special care of one of our dogs who was having tummy trouble most of the time as well. He was great with our dogs, respected our home and kept in regular contact with us while we were gone. I would not hesitate to have him watch our dogs, and our home, the next time we go out of town and I recommend him to anyone else who needs a house sitter as well.

aylen is a active specimen and his structure to the things he does compliments just about anything he's involved with. I told him at one point to start his own curriculum of dog training. His dog is by far one of the most intelligent dogs out there without a doubt. With me being aware of him expanding his services to the public is exciting because I can see others pushing him to start something bigger then sitting or walking dogs. I went away for my family reunion in Australia for approximately 2 weeks. I left the keys with him and asked to just do the basic stop in and feed with a little doggy time. I'll tell you this in that 2 weeks, I almost thought he took my dog to a professional trainer at his own expense. My dog was happier and was actually in a lot better shape than I left her. From there they've always had that bond.

Jaylen has been great with every pet has owned and in fact he's owned dozens of various species of animals. He was the "Doctor Doolittle" around the city. He's more than capable of handling something entry-level such as dogwalking and sitting. I would highly recommend anyone to use his service if they want to know they're dog will be safe and have structure. Don't be surprised if you see a huge improvement in the dogs character in such a short span of time, even within a few short walks.

Information Jaylen M. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any preferences for breeds AT ALL. I love them ALL. Small to Large. I actually prefer mixing up different breeds together! It builds the personality of every dog. The only thing i would like to know before hand about a dog is if they are friendly and like to mingle with others. If not very friendly. Dont fret! It is still OKAY, i'd just would only walk him/her by themselves to warm them up; while gradually attempting to socialize at the speed of the dog and obviously upon agreement of the owner.
