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.

Jeff was absolutely wonderful. While I was away Jeff sent regular updates with photos. In each one the dogs were smiling and or cuddling next to him. He was at my home when I arrived and after I was greeted by my pack one went over for more pets from Jeff. Oh my, I was starting to get jealous! I will definitely use him again.

It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.

Jeff has been walking Duke for about a couple of months now so when we decided to take a short vacation we asked if he was interested in looking after Duke and he was a great fit for inhome dog sitting. Our dog loves him and we enjoyed the daily photos while we were away, he treated our home with respect, and I would highly recommend him to anyone else looking for similar services.

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.
