Pet care experience

Hiker, biker, ur dog's best friend.

I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that.

Safety, trust & environment

I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.

JL gave Bug so much love and attention while he was watching her! He's very responsive and sent us lovely updates and photos to let us know how she was doing. She was definitely getting spoiled, and I know she'll be happy to have JL watch her again in the futue.

JL was absolutely wonderful! We recently used him for dog sitting, and he made the entire experience stress-free from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, and we really appreciated the daily updates and pictures while we were away. JL took great care of our dogs! Knowing they were in such good hands allowed us to truly unwind and enjoy our vacation without worrying. We would definitely recommend JL and would happily book with him again!

JL was an absolute dream! My boys -- a cat and a dog -- were so well taken care of, as was my apartment. They adored him. Took the dog on long walks and followed feeding directions to a T. Would indubitably have him pet-sit in the future.

In futbol terms, JL is Messi. He does magic. Our pup can get s little nervous around strangers, and instead of JL forcing his way into our pup’s trust, he just let her come to him, and by night one our pup was climbing on his bed to chill with her new pal. JL asked all the right questions, took great care of our home and pup. Would definitely book him again and highly recommend him.

Great communication, was very helpful with your dogs specific needs during the 4th of July weekend. The pictures that were sent as updates absolutely amazing! JL also watered our indoor and outdoor plants and was very respectful. We would definitely have him house sit again for us.

Kind and loving to my dog, Stanford! He's responsive and kept me updated while I was away for the week. I certainly felt like I could focus on my work while I was away.

Before we get started I'd love to know about any medications your pet is on, how they do around other dogs, and any tricks they've picked up along the way. Also — and this one's important — what does mischief look like for them? Are they a sneaky door-darter, a champion digger, a counter surfer? Every dog has their thing and the more I know upfront the better I can stay one step ahead of it.
