At this time, I do not offer in-home pet care at my home. I'm only available for taking care of pets in your home. Thank you.

Information Jerry L. would like to know about your pet

I have a sheet I complete and will keep a file on your pet with all instructions, special needs, requests, etc. I'm a very conscientious pet owner, and I would treat your pet no less than I would treat my own.

A typical day

I'm an extremely active individual. I love to play ball, and I had two dogs that would play from sun-up to sun-down. I hike almost every day, especially spending lots of time at Eagle Creek. As I stated in my profile, once comfortable (you, your dog and myself), I'm very happy to take pups hiking there. I'm also very willing to go enjoy time at dog parks if anyone belongs to or goes to any of them often. I'm open to anything. I'd rather stay active with a dog, unless he or she is a senior who simply needs gentle, slower time to be loved.

OVER 20 DOGS RESCUED/MORE CARED FOR

Pet care experience

Some people call me DogDude. I've loved and rescued dogs my entire life. Thus far I've rescued over twenty, and I had nine at the most at one time. I even had two beds pushed together so all nine could sleep with me. It was furry and chaotically wonderful. Seven of those original are gone, and I miss those days. I've worked with puppies, and one rescue was even pregnant. I saw her through the pregnancy and adopted all the pups except the one I kept. I've also worked with and rescued seniors. I lived in Puerto Rico for three years, and I rescued two there and flew them back when returning to the states. I adopted a sweet old Cocker Spaniel from a program in Michigan. Her owner had been murdered by her ex-husband in Detroit. I could go on, but suffice it to say, most of my rescues have interesting stories. My most recent came from a ditch in Tennessee. It would be a pleasure to work with you and your pet(s). I'm an avid hiker with a membership to Eagle Creek. I've taken dogs out hiking with me and living doing so, if clients are comfortable with that.

Jerry was absolutely wonderful with our dogs while we were away! He made our vacation so much better knowing the dogs were being well cared for ❤️
