Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

Information Jerry Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that would help me in making your dog the most comfortable that he/she can be.

A typical day

I love being active and understand when a pet needs rest and when they need to be active. I am a very active person that goes for walks daily, usually around 10,000 or more steps a day. I would love to integrate that with time spent with your dog.

Pet care experience

I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care.

Jerry was awesome in every way. Very communicative and accommodating. We felt very comfortable with the level of care and attention to detail. We’ll be coming back as regulars!

This is the second time Jerry has watched our small dog. Great communication and flexible with pickup time. Ramona was well looked after. Thanks so much!

Jerry was a good fit for our dog, who tends to be afraid of other dogs. She was well looked after and Jerry sent regular updates with pictures. Thanks so much!
