Dog lover looking for buddies

Pet care experience

I’m Jean and I love dogs! There really is nothing better than having a pup around because of their unique, sweet, and interesting personalities. I’m ex-military and absolutely love being a civilian because it means I can spend time with our canine counterparts. Pet sitting is a great option for my schedule, plus I can use my experience and skill with fur babies to provide the families of Portland safe care for their best friends. I have lots of experience with dogs, both professionally and personally, and feel comfortable around pups of every size or personality! I used to train horses, so no dog intimidates me and I have a sweet connection with larger pups, like Mastiffs. I’m also very communicative because I know how hard it is to be away from a pet. I’ll be sure to stay in consistent and constant contact, sending photo and text updates so you know how your pup is doing in my care. I live in a wonderful apartment in the Laurelhurst neighborhood with my fiancé. Though it’s on the smaller side, there are so many amazing parks nearby that we won’t be inside too much! Plus, we have great spaces for furry visitors to play and snuggle when we do settle in for the night. They’ll even love my huge bed, perfect for cuddles, TV time, and naps. In addition to my experience and care with pups, your pet will get the attention of my fiancé. He’s a new dog lover, as he didn’t have any growing up, but has really enjoyed helping me out with my Rover stays. He’s especially great with older, small dogs since he works from home. They just love to lay and love on him all day. It’s like a magical old dog superpower! When I’m not pet sitting, I’m a big gym rat. I also love to cook. My life revolves around cooking, eating, workout out, and puppies, of course. I can’t wait for your pup to be able to join me on my adventures and look forward to meeting you soon!

Jean was lovely! She sent multiple text/photo updates throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs with her and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

Jean was fantastic with Harriet! She sent me updates and photos every day, was easy to reach and very accommodating with drop off/pick up times. I cannot wait to book her again in the future!

Jean is a phenomenal trustworthy person! She takes care of all animals as if they are her family. She spends quality time with them and takes them out as much as she can. She's definitely the go to every time I need a pet sitter!

I have two dogs that can be a bit of a handful. Jean was great with them and sent me photo updates daily. Would definitely have her dog sit for me again!

Information Jean D. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet so you can get to know me a little better. I also like to learn about your dog’s normal schedule and routine, behavior around other animals, and if they have any medical issues. Due to apartment restrictions, I’m not able to watch puppies, PitBulls, Dobermans, or German Shepherds. I don’t agree with the “aggressive breed” standards, but have to abide by our building codes. I will happily sit any and all breeds in their own homes, though. Large dogs and I get along great and I definitely have a soft spot for them.

A typical day

On a stay with me, we’ll be sure to stay active and have fun! We can hit local parks, trails, and nature areas for exercise and new smells. If you have an older dog or a pup with separation anxiety, my fiancé works from home to help cater to their needs. No matter what your pup needs for a safe and happy stay, I’ll provide it.
