Information Jerry F. would like to know about your pet

What is the energy level of the dog? Any health / medical issues to be aware of? Owners preference for playing, feeding, resting? Does the dog prefer to be with other dogs or alone? No breed preferences, I love all dogs and cats.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs out on trails, parks, beaches, paddle boarding (if the dog is OK with water and riding on a board or kayak, dog flotation device provided). If the dog is social, I enjoy trips to the local dog park for unleashed playing.

Caring & Responsible pet care!

Pet care experience

I have a passion for dogs and cats with over 40 years experience in caring for dogs. I am reliable, responsible and flexible for your pet care needs. I have an understanding of dog behavior and special needs. I am experienced in administering pet medications as well as puppy training. I am experienced in caring for older dogs with physical / medical needs. I have a basic knowledge of pet 1st aid. My goal is to earn your trust and provide you with peace of mind while I care for your beloved pets! I am retired and very flexible regarding scheduling for pet care assignments. I am available on short / emergency notice. I am available for long-term set schedules as well as short term. I am able to provide pet sitting, walks, welfare checks and administering pet medications. My residence has a large yard but is only partially fenced with shrubbery bordering the rest of the yard. I am located within easy walking distance to parks, forested trails and water-walkways along Gig Harbor. I am within 1/2 mile from a pet hospital. I have an older mini-Aussie who is accustomed to other dogs and cats but primarily keeps to herself.

Amazing sitter for our cats! Very accommodating with a last minute request and then modification when one of us was able to come back earlier than expected. Will definitely book again.

Our dogs loved Jerry! He did great with both our senior and our young puppy, who can be a little timid at first. It was a relief to know they were in good hands. Will definitely book with him again!

Jerry always makes our trips out of town better knowing he is walking and playing with our big dog each day. Looks like he enjoys Jerry’s visits by the looks of the pictures Jerry sends us each visit. Thanks Jerry!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
