UCSD Researcher, Dog lover, Active

Pet care experience

Dog lover. Active. Attentive. Calm. Thoughtful. Reliable. Responsible. I have one 50 pound Husky. She is amazing and gets along with 99% of dogs. We run, walk, and mountain bike together. I'm offering reasonably priced dog-sitting because I know it can be difficult to find. If there is something you want me to work on (training-wise) with your pup, I can do that. I've spent much time training my dog. I graduated from Middlebury College nine years ago. Since then, I have cross-country skied with an olympic development team, dabbled in journalism, cobbled shoes, taught in Togo, Africa, and taught high school English, and now I work in a Neuroscience lab at UCSD.

Jimmy was awesome! We needed a petsitter the same day and was able to come meet our dog Zoey within a couple hours and then stay at our house. We came back to an exhausted dog and a house even cleaner than we’d left it. We would definitely recommend him!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that you know your pup best, so I will follow your instructions. I've found through my own experience--with my dog and others--that trust is best developed through patience, walks, and treats.

Information Jimmy A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dog's favorite places to visit, his/her idiosyncrasies, whether there are special times you dog needs to be fed (I measure out my dog's food and feed them as treats to her throughout the day), but if your dog has a food schedule, I can follow that.

A typical day

We will walk often. We can go to dog parks, or venture off the beaten path to different trails in the area. We can play fetch (my doggo loves playing this with other dogs) or other games your pup enjoys.
