Compassionate Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I've always felt a special connection with animals- from encounters in the redwood forests of Northern California to the coastal sanctuaries of Maine, I’ve enjoyed absorbing and reflecting on the deep wisdoms held within the animal kingdom. In my own life, cats and dogs have helped illuminate the true nature of unconditional love and I’ve been lucky to journey with many animal companions. During times in my life where it has not been possible to own a pet, I’ve been grateful to have many opportunities to care for them. I’ve cared for several dogs long-term and lived with up to 3 cats at a time (please see testimonials) and always enjoy getting to know the unique personality and ways of each animal. My approach is gentle and my goal is nourishment, safety and support with whoever I get the chance to work with. As a recent graduate of acupuncture school, I hope someday to get to work with animals in a healing capacity. I'd be truly honored to care for your beloved pet.

Jeffrey was great and went above and beyond to help our dogs stay comfortable while we were away. Communication was thorough and helped keep us in the loop.

Jeffrey is a dear friend of mine. Over the years he has taken care of my dog Willa Mae several times. She has stayed with him for up to a week, he would take her on adventures and walks and every time I knew she was well taken care of and loved. WM loves Jeffrey and would always come back home so happy and healthy, so I was confident that Jeffrey was taking good care of WM just as he would his own animal. I highly recommend him as a dog walker and an overnight caretaker!

Over the course of a year, I had to leave my then 3-year-old energetic Labrador, Casco, with Jeffrey multiple times—and every single time, he went above and beyond in ways I never expected. Not only did Jeffrey provide exceptional care, but he truly loved Casco like his own. On more than one occasion, I came home to find that Jeffrey had thoughtfully purchased things for Casco, like a comfort blanket and a better water dispenser, just because he knew they’d improve Casco’s experience and ease any anxiety while I was away. He never asked to be reimbursed or mentioned the effort—he simply cared, and it was all due to his love for Casco and dogs in general. Jeffrey would also take Casco on nice walks and the walk would be for Casco and no one else. If Casco wanted to stop and sniff for a while, he would, or if he wanted to walk at a slower pace, that was great too! It was never about just trying to "check the box" of taking him out, it was an opportunity for them to bond together and for Casco to enjoy his time outdoors. Casco was always over the moon excited to see Jeffrey. Their bond was obvious, and it gave me incredible peace of mind knowing that my dog was not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy. I'm a believer that you can often times tell whether a dog loves being around a certain person, and this was undoubtedly the case. Even though we now live in different locations, Jeffrey still checks in to see how Casco is doing. That’s the kind of person he is—thoughtful, compassionate, and fully invested in your pet’s well-being. I cannot recommend Jeffrey highly enough. He’s detail oriented, intuitive, and deeply committed to understanding and meeting your dog’s unique needs. And beyond all of that, he’s just an outstanding human being. Your pet will be lucky to have him in their life!
