Pet care experience

Lover of dogs and park walks

I have taken care of dogs since I was eight years old. I have experience with reactive dogs, and I am understanding of those with certain needs. I currently do not have any dogs, but I helped raise all of my family dogs, would love to own one for myself, and would treat any dog I care after as my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very patient and will let dogs be curious, but can also command them when needed. I love to play with dogs, whether it is fetch, giving them toys, letting them socialize and interact with other dogs. I have experience with a reactive dog, so I am very attentive to a dog’s behavior patterns.

Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.

Jefferson is AWESOME! We have a very anxious little cocker spaniel who can be slow to warm up to new people and Jefferson made him feel so comfortable right away. Jefferson is now our regular walker and we could not recommend him more!

Jefferson will care for your fur baby like it was his own. He loves dogs and connects with them. Our Luna jumps for joy when she sees him.

Schedule

I am currently on the job market after being DOGE’d, so I thought I would spend my time walking a dog(e). I am available on the weekdays, and walking dogs would fit in seamlessly with my schedule. I am a very active individual and have no problem taking a dog on however long of a walk it may need.

Let me know if your dog has any certain behavioral patterns I should know about beforehand. My family dog is reactive, so I am experienced in being patient in getting a dog acclimated to a perceived fear. I also know when to notice a dog’s shift in behavior, so I can make sure your dog is safe at all times.
