Information Jeff W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what they enjoy, what their routine is, and what rules they are to follow and also my own as a caretaker. I'm very open and understand that every dog or cat and their humans is a different situation and it's my responsibility to adapt to those needs.

A typical day

I'm very open to whatever your pet's familiar walk out routine may be, and also any games or activities they enjoy, whether it's fetching, playing, walking, or just lap lounging. Every pet is unique.

Jeff W.'s Neighborhood

Dogs and cats are family!

Pet care experience

Dogs are individuals that want connection with the humans in their lives. I love bonding with them and earning the reward of their trust and companionship. I've helped raise the sweetest Westie you could meet, and it requires being loving, yet firm but never mean, and rewarding good behavior more than disciplining when they test you. Dogs want to be in tune and harmony with their humans as much as we do with them. I am currently available and eager to give you peace of mind that your best friend and valued family member is in great care while you are away. I see canine and feline companionship as one of the most rewarding relationships people build, and believe the same to be true from a dog and cat's perspective when we put in the time and care to really be "their" humans.
