Availability
Unless I’m cast in something, I’m home pretty much. I do walk a dog Monday-Fridays from about 12:55-1:35pm, though. In the past I’ve let clients know if I have a function/prior engagement to go to. Then, unless you bring a cage, I’ll keep them contained to one room. With water, toys, and classical music playing.

Fenced-in yard. They sleep with me in the guest room. I give them a lot of attention. Unless they need me to back off. :)
Home
Information Jeff S. would like to know about your pet
Besides being housebroken, I prefer dogs who don’t mark in the house. I’ve had a few do this even after many walks or trips to the backyard. They HAVE to get along with other dogs. I tend to watch 2-3 at a time. Small to medium dogs (30 POUNDS OR LESS IS MY PREFERENCE). This pandemic has messed up lots of dogs and my clients have been very pleased that I can get dogs to interact with each other in a controlled environment.
A typical day
Do a lot of hiking in Greenbelt, Lake Artemesia, Great Falls, and other nearby hiking trails. Love throwing a ball around the yard, even if they don’t fetch :)

Pet care experience
In between acting gigs I Have opened my home to taking care of other dogs. In 2004 my husband and I adopted 2 rescue dogs. We lost one (our sweet girl Marcy) to Cancer in March 2019 so we opened up our home to lovable dogs to help fill the hole she left in our hearts. As of March 1, 2020 we unfortunately, sadly said goodbye to our second dog, Ted, a 16-year-old diabetic terrier (also to cancer). Very familiar with administering medication including insulin injections. I love to play with dogs, take them for walks/hikes and I always accept their kisses. I have a great fenced-in yard for them to play in. All I ask is your dog have all it’s necessary shots, be housebroken, and get along with other dogs. When I’m not doing acting gigs I’m home to give full attention to your dog. Doing daycare I will be home all day but if boarding a dog (especially multiple days) it should be a given that I’m allowed outings from time to time. So, please, make sure your dog can be alone at least 3-4 hours.
Reviews
Always pleased with Jeff’s care of our Marley. Jeff accepts and tolerate’s our miniature Dachshund’s quirks and personality and we are so grateful for Jeff. He is always our number one choice 😊
Jeff was great! He welcomed and cared for Rufus (still full of puppy energy/behavior and absolutely no off button!) with an abundance of affection and understanding. I highly recommend Jeff!
Jeff is kind and patient with pups and people. He's been a gift to my elderly, anxious dog.
It always feels good when I travel and I know my boy Zen is well taken care of
