Pet care experience
My friends and family have always told me that I'm a gentle soul. It seems that dogs agree. As Bill Murray once said, "I'm suspicious of people who don't like dogs but I trust a dog when it doesn't like a person." I like dogs so much I'd take care of them for free but I realize a second income is necessary to support how much my girlfriend eats. Growing up in Portland, my family had two Pomeranians. I dog-sat on the weekends for neighbors/family friends. I moved to New York in 2012 and quickly made friends who had two English as well as two French bulldogs. On a weekly basis, I'd spend my weekends driving four hours upstate, with the dogs in tow, at their summer house. In any given time, my landlord has 2-3 dogs (at one point she had 4). The current situation includes 2 Great Danes and an English bulldog (he is famous and lives a more lavish life than I do). So far all the dogs I've been associated with are all rescues who required a lot of positive reinforcement and attention. My proudest moment came when I trained my friend's dog 'Colby' (Pitbull Terrier) how to "close the door" by standing on his hind legs and pushing the door shut. A fair amount of treats went into that but I think my friend agrees it was worth it. I live within blocks of downtown Brooklyn and have access to all trains/buses. My schedule is flexible and weekends are most definitely welcome.
Reviews
Jeff was great and kept me up to speed throughout his sitting of Colby. Would definitely use him in the future.
Highly recommended. Jeff is a dependable and accommodating dog walker -- and most importantly great with our min-pin/chihuahua Chico. He was extremely helpful to us new/nervous dog owners assuring us that everything has been going well. Excellent communication during the walk and has been great in helping us to crate train our dog.
Jeff is an excellent and always dependable dog sitter. He has been tremendously helpful in exercising (and training) my small husky. As a young working professional, it's not easy being away from my dog during the day but knowing how excited my dog gets when he's with Jeff gives me relief.
