Pet care experience
A retired trained and certified dog trainer who specializes in positive reinforcement training. Until recently I volunteered at the local shelter and animal boarding location in my hometown where I worked personally on behavioral training for the dogs as well as did general animal care for a variety of species. I have experience with pet sitting for animals with special needs, including giving medication for a variety of conditions to different species. I work freelance, so I have an adaptable schedule that can fit your needs. The only times I'm unavailable are Sunday evenings after 5 pm and Thursday evenings after 8 pm. I prefer to have a Meet & Greet with the pet parent to speak about the care plan and expectations for their pet before we schedule a service. During the talk, we'd go over all the animal's needs, such as if there are any allergies I should know about, medications for their pet, as well as talk about the pet's regular routine. Keeping the pets (and their parents) feeling happy, secure, and confident is my number one priority. After all, they're an important part of the family and should be treated as such!
Reviews
JJ always takes amazing care of my dog Leia. Lengthy walks, adorable photos, consistent checkins. Highly recommend
Great service! My kitties love her!
JJ was great communicating and responded right away when I needed someone to step in on short notice. Positive vibes during our meet & greet and I felt assured that Taz was gonna be in good hands.
Very very good with my doggo and super knowledgeable. Was on the fence about leaving a review because I don't want the word to get out😂 Highly recommend JJ!

Information JJ G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavioral concerns that I can account for. Knowing what the breed and age of the dog(s) would help me prepare for the visit, such as if it's an older French Bulldog or a big breed puppy. Then I can tailor the care for the visit to make sure they stay happy, healthy, and fulfilled.
A typical day
I love to stimulate the dog's mind, keeping in mind their physical capabilities. For older pets, that may mean making them special frozen foraging treats they can enjoy. For younger pets, I'm happy to play frisbee, fetch, take them on runs in the neighborhood. Of course there's always time for a good belly rub!
