Jeff's Bark and Purr Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

I'm a native New Yorker with a few years of animal care experience. I have worked and volunteered at Barc Animal Shelter and found every minute around dogs enjoyable. During my time working at Barc I have extensive knowledge of canine behavior and CPR/First aid for all Dog and Cats. While your pet is with me, I will ensure a fun and safe experience for your pet, Whether we are in the house, at the dog park, or walking along in the neighborhood, Your pet will be in great hands. I have taken care of many different sizes and breeds of dogs, I will customize your dogs experience based on their personality, breed and abilities in order to make sure your pet gets the exercise and enjoyment they need while you can continue through your day knowing your pet is being well cared for. Any and all active or relatively calm dogs welcome!

Jeffrey is a great dog sitter! He was accommodating and attentive to our pup’s needs during his stay. Jeffrey was very professional and had great communication. We hope that he had fun with our pup cause we definitely will use him again in the future.

Jeff has been so wonderful with our dog. We feel so comfortable leaving Lucy with him and she comes back so happy and then excited to see him again when we leave! We couldn’t be more grateful.

Information Jeffrey D. would like to know about your pet

What are some your pets favorite activities? Are they social? Are they potty trained? Any health concerns? any routines that I should continue? Any activity restrictions?

A typical day

Based on your dogs energy levels, all walks and activities will be customized to fit the dogs behavior. Whether the dogs are active or ''Lazy'' They will receive the recommended amount of exercise and time outside. All activities welcomed, such as fetch, tug-o-war, and any other games one can think of, I will make sure to pack their favorite toys and treats to bring along. a dog park is easily accessible from my home, making it easy to help your dog socialize with others, for those dogs who prefer human interaction, plenty of people at home to interact with. I am open to any recommended activities by the owners and will strive to meet your plans for your pet. If the dog is still working on being trained (ex. to sit. use potty outside) i am more then happy to assist in helping reinforcing the training. Saftey: Leaving your pet behind can be very difficult. I want to help you feel confident that your pet is in the best of hands while you are away. During our walks I will be very aware of the surroundings and make my best attempts to keep your dogs safe from any and all harm. This all starts with my leash/harness check before any walk. I always check to make sure any harnesses or leashes are secure and ready to be used before stepping out the door. On our walks I am mindful about the dogs tendencies and will work my best to use their tendencies to keep them safe. This means I will be on the look out for dogs who try to eat anything off the floor or those who love to chase the birds that happen to land near by. Any dogs who are joining us on our walk will be introduced to each other in a calm environment in order to secure a friendly bond between the dogs. No matter the size or breeds of the dogs, I will be sure to intergrate them in a very calm and controlled environment. Leashes will always be secure during the intitial meetings of the dogs. I will always look for nervous or stressed behavior (such as slowed tail movement, bearing of teeth, stiffness, warning barks, dominate behavior) and break up any tense situations before the escalate if needed. For those staying at my home or over night there will be plenty of human interaction and supervision during their stay.
