Hi My name is La Jon, Lj for short, and I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking services. I am a freelance dog trainer, so that means my schedule is flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with your dog while you're away! After years of working in the entertainment industry, I have finally found my life's calling working with animals. Animals are absolutely my passion and have a huge soft spot for dogs specifically. My favorite thing about dogs is their unconditional love for their humans. I have extensive experience caring for dogs. I am a Certified Dog Trainer, and received my training through Petco's Positive Obedience Course. I've had the pleasure of learning from the best in the industry! The best part about working with Petco was the vast dog specific nutritional knowledge that I gained. If you have any training or pet nutrition questions, let me know! When I lived in New York, I boarded shelter pets, which gave me exposure to many different dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I'm also a cat a person, so I'm happy to provide care for your feline friends if you're in need. I love how smart and independent cats are. I think they're very elegant, magical, and mysterious creatures! Overall, I feel that I will be a great fit for most pets need, and am confident I can provide excellent care. You'll love me as a sitter because I’m reliable, trustworthy, and have extensive experience. I'm absolutely passionate about what I do and truly feel like I have the best job in the world. To me, petsitting means sharing special moments with wonderful little guys, and it makes me happy getting to know each pups' personality. I also am friendly, and easy going, so I think you'll find working with me to be a smooth, easy experience. It's important to me that you feel comfortable while you're separated from your pets. I will send regular text updates, photo updates, and will be easily accessible if you have any questions for me. When I'm not hanging out with animals, you can find me outside hiking, at the gym, or reading a new book about animals. I love getting out in nature, and if you're onboard I'd love to bring a dog-friend to keep me company! If you're looking for a professional, personable, and reliable sitter then I'm the sitter for you. I can provide house sitting services, drop-in visits, and walking services, as well as cat care. Feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet so we can confirm we're a great match!
