I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements.

Safety, trust & environment

I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

Information Jody Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any special training or commands you'd like me to use while we're together. I totally do not mind if it's super long and detailed - the more information the better!

A typical day

I'd love to take your dog out on a sniffing adventure walk around the neighborhood! And if we're hanging out at home, we can play tug, play with their toys, or I can set up some enrichment activities. I also have a flirt pole I can bring if your dog would like that! After walking and playing, I'd be happy to prepare breakfast/lunch/dinner for your pup however you usually do it.

Reliable care for furry friends!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses.

Jody was great with my little puppy! She showed up on time was very helpful, played a bunch with my pup and sent lots of photos :) She helped me out a ton last minute and I’d highly recommend booking with her. Thank you, Jody!

Jody was amazing with our dogs! Very caring, attentive, and always on time for daily visits. Our dogs loved spending time with her, and she played with them so well. We also really appreciated all the photos and videos she sent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend!

Jody has helped watch my senior dog on multiple occasions throughout the years that I’ve known her. She is attentive and very patient to his needs, and I can tell she treats him like one of her own as he is always happy to see her. She also provides regular updates on how he’s doing which helps give me peace of mind while I’m away. I trust Jody with all of my pets and highly recommend her services to anyone!
