About Jer O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Health and Safety comes first - that mens food, water, potty breaks and security (everyone being friendly and able to have fun) - so we can have easy fun all day. I like to get everyone on a predictable schedule and rotation of activities (home feeding schedule blended with a 3 hour rotation of potty time, active play, and relaxing). I'm not a whisperer, but I do like reading up on different kinds of training or techniques to use to help animals communicate with us humans. I prefer to develop verbal/ gentle hands interactions with dogs and cats - largely based on the philosophy (but leash-free) of the Whitehouse method - similar to Cesar Millan - there are no bad dogs (or cats). Firm, stoic patience and gentle hands with compliments and rewards are the most effective tools. When multiple pups and kittehs are abound, I make sure we accommodate personality differences - health and safety first - my house is able to comfortably accommodate off-set rotations and separate rooms.

Small Hands Big Heart
Pet care experience
I grew up with small and large dogs and different kinds of kitty cats. I love big dogs. I love small dogs. I love all dogs, and I don't believe there are any bad dogs. With my own animals over the years, I've read and learned a lot about behavior and training, have dealt with animals with anxiety to help them overcome it, and even trained cats to calmly endure baths and car rides.
Cat care experience
Jer also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
My dog made out fine at her house. Especially for it being her first time. I thought it was very nice that Jer sent pictures and updates to let me know how she was doing.
Jer is a great sitter very trusted & flexible to your schedule :) Buddy loves her home & dogs
Jer did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Updates with photos were helpful in knowing that he was safe and sound. Highly recommend!
Amazing flexibility and everything went great. My dog was very happy 😁
