Pet care experience
Hi there, Jude is my name and animal enrichment is my game! Simply put, I love animals and love what I do. The thing I love about dogs, in particular, is their free spirit and their ability to learn. They do all of this while providing you with unconditional love. I take great pride in the animal education that I have received, specifically positive reinforcement training. I had formal training and graduated from VTI in the field of animal medicine. I've experienced working with all types of cats and dogs both with and without special needs. My skill set includes but is not limited to oral medication, IV medication, and fluid administration. I worked in a clinical setting for 4 years with two years of education prior to that. I understand animal body language and have specialized experience with aggressive and reactive tendencies. I offer traveling pet care services on Rover! I'm available weekly to house sit your lovely pet(s) or drop-in on them as needed. While I do not have any breed preferences, I do have a certain affinity for larger breeds. That being said, I love small and medium dogs all the same. Fun loving, playful, energetic or lazy, I just love them all! If you’re looking for a pet sitter with a formal education in animal behavior, please reach out! I know I will fall in love with your pup just as you did upon meeting them. I know what being a responsible pet owner entails, you will be sure to receive frequent updates on all the fun your dog is having while you are away!
Reviews
Our experience with Jude's pet-sitting service through Rover has been overwhelmingly disappointing and stressful. Despite clear instructions about maintaining our pet Oscar's routine, he consistently deviated from the schedule, neglecting key responsibilities like timely playtimes and pee breaks. His lack of sensitivity and mishandling of Oscar, captured on camera, raised serious concerns about the quality of care provided. Moreover, Jude displayed an indifferent attitude towards cleanliness, leaving our home in disarray and creating additional stress during our vacation. The issues extended to breach of privacy, as he entered rooms without permission. Communication breakdowns regarding his departure further highlighted his lack of professionalism. In sum, Jude's service fell far short of Rover's reputation, leaving us with a thoroughly unsatisfactory experience.
Jude was wonderful! He was quick to reply when I sent a message and was very accommodating when choosing a meet and greet date. When he came over to our home he had already taken the time to review each of my dogs' profile and had made extensive notes on their daily routine and special needs. He was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! The dogs very quickly took to him and that was most important. You can tell he is an animal lover. When we got home our dogs were happy and safe thanks to Jude. I would highly recommend him. I will definitely be using him again.
Jude looks after our zoo of seven! The dogs are medium and large can be a handful and they need someone who is confident and strong to manage them. The cats simply want love. Jude manages them all beautifully. We are very grateful to have him as our petsitter!
He was wonderful! I will have him back. Highly recommend him!?
