Cozy pet loving Queen Anne home
Pet care experience
Hi everyone. I'm Jeff, an animal loving, genuinely nice professional guy that is originally from the midwest who grew up around and with all sorts of animals. I'm a digital strategy and marketing consultant and presently work from home around 80- 90% of the time and a friend suggested I consider Rover - and it seems like an ideal scenario for me, so here I am. I've been doing Rover for 5 years now and love it. I have a great condo and live on the west side of Upper Queen Anne and I love to take walks. I'm a very stable, organized, fun loving, dependable and easy going guy and also triple taxed. I love meeting new folks and making new friends, furry and non furry ones. :) I usually only do one dog at a time but on rare occasion two if they are related or are dog friendly and everyone is comfortable with it. I'll always confirm this with everyone before committing to unrelated dogs.
Reviews
Great until pickup time! We were super excited about boarding our pups for the first time with Jeffrey - picking them up, they seemed happy as ever and well cared for. The only caveat being that, when picking them up, we learned he had not used the requested head-harness for our leash reactive dog, citing that his experience outweighed ours and he opted for other methods. This was despite kindly informing him we asked this because of several thousand dollars worth of evidence-based, force-free training with highly accredited professionals. He was also made aware of our routine prior to accepting our scheduled stay. Unfortunately, Jeffrey was not willing to respect our request and was actually quite unprofessional. It seemed he mistook experience with boarding dogs equating to professionals who have dedicated hours and years to formal education in canine behavior. How unfortunate because we really did love him until pickup time! We are thankful for his time and kindness toward our dogs, but will not be using him ever again.
Jeffrey took such great care of our dog Petey! Our dog can be reactive on leash and this did not scare him away at all. Petey came home happy and clean. We would highly recommend Jeffrey!
Above and beyond!
Jeffrey is a great and very responsible dog sitter. My dog can be a bit of a handful and did great with him. When I picked him up he was wagging his tail and nuzzling Jeffrey, a great sign that he had a happy experience. I highly recommend him.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a very walkable, quiet, and tree lined neighborhood so perfect for short and long walks. I'm also a big fan of hiking through Discovery Park. My building is super quiet and I have a big balcony with fantastic westerly views, great for lounging on, for dogs and humans alike.

Information Jeffrey M. would like to know about your pet
I generally just like to confirm that a dog is ok on his own for a short period of time if and when I might step out. It's rare but occasionally I cycle or have a dinner engagement that. might take me away for a short period of time so I just want to make sure my furry friends are comfortable with being on their own for a short time. My building is super quiet so I try to do my part in keeping it that way.
A typical day
Lots of walks. I'm a big walker and enjoying them frequently, including the occasional long walk, even in acclimate weather. (I'm working on that part so a companion helps motivate me). I also love hikes and hanging out at the beach, or along the water at sunset. I live in an area with great views and quiet spaces - it's like living on an island up here in Queen Anne. :)

Availability
I work from home and have for awhile now (even pre Covid) so I really enjoy taking several play and walk breaks with my furry guests. It's a perfect distraction for me.
