Highlights
Pet care experience
Small Hands Big Heart
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.

Amazing as always! She is amazing with copper!
Thank you so much for keeping our girls overnight unexpectedly! You are always so flexible and understanding, and we are very lucky to work with you!!!
Jer is always wonderfully responsive, flexible, and excellent at reading our pips and adjusting to their needs! She’s a behavioral expert and a dog walker whisperer!
Thank you for taking in our two wildcats (well, wild dogs) on short notice! They love you and needed to get their wiggles out today!
Long term stay again. Great as always.
Always amazing with Copper, sends updates throughout the stay.

Schedule
I work from home, so I am available most days out of the month and only usually leave to do walks or drop-ins during the day
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
