Pet care experience

Fall House Sits Available!

I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs, from high-energy pups to senior dogs requiring attentive care. As a dedicated Pet Care Professional and member of Pet Sitters International (PSI), I’m fully comfortable managing medications, maintaining strict routines, and supporting dogs who need a calm, patient approach. My background includes volunteering at the local animal shelter, where I gained invaluable experience handling a wide variety of temperaments, body language, and high-arousal behaviors. What sets me apart is the way I build trust with animals. Dogs tend to settle quickly around me, and I focus on creating a calm, structured environment where they feel safe and relaxed. Whether that’s reinforcing good behavior, helping excitable dogs regulate, or simply being a steady, reassuring presence for more sensitive dogs, I adapt to each dog’s personality. I also place a strong emphasis on communication, providing clear photo updates so owners feel completely confident their pets are not just being watched, but genuinely cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and pet with a high level of care and respect. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs so I can maintain consistency while you’re away. In your home, I aim to create a calm, structured environment where your dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to things like doors, food safety, and overall awareness to ensure your pet stays safe at all times—especially for dogs who may be more curious or prone to getting into things. I’m also experienced with administering medications and supporting senior dogs or those who require a bit of extra care. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away.

Jeff was amazing! Very responsive in booking and communicating. He left the house super clean. And most importantly, both of my dogs bonded with him! Even my shy boy! It gives you such peace of mind to trust that your pups are in good hands when you are away! Definitely recommend Jeff!

We are so happy we found Jeff- highly recommend! He watched our big boy German Shepherd and our older Pittie. He gave them plenty of time at home, watched the house, and took care of medications and feeding regimens perfectly. A+++!

Jeff was outstanding! He worked with Otto who was initially shy. By the time I returned he was having a great time with Jeff, playing and eating and being himself. I would definitely ask Jeff to watch Otto again!

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I structure my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure their routines are maintained and they feel comfortable and settled. I’m able to be flexible with walks, feeding times, and check-ins, while still providing dependable communication and a calm, structured environment. I adapt to each dog’s needs to make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away.

Before a booking, it’s helpful to know your dog’s daily routine, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs (such as medications, anxiety, or specific triggers). I also like to know how they do when left alone, how they behave on walks, and anything that helps me provide the best possible care.
