Safety, trust & environment
Being at home all day long with the exception of going for a daily walk for about an hour which can include the pets that I care for, allows me to be very attentive to the dogs and cats that I'm entrusted with during your time away.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the moment we met Jay, we knew our two dogs were in caring and capable hands. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and genuinely well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they received and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!
Ron (Jay) was wonderful with our fur babies, Cocoa & Poppy! He kept the girls active and engaged every day while letting us know regularly that all was well. He even had a spontaneous 4th of July celebration with them that was quite a hoot and I’m sure made them feel extra special. We were able to fully relax and know that the girls and our home were in good hands. Thank you Jay for giving us that peace of mind. I would highly recommend him and will use him in the future.
All of the pets and home were well cared-for and the frequent status updates provided reassurance and peace of mind! Thanks, Jay!
I cannot say enough great things about Jay (Ronald)… but I’m gonna try. I had a sitter cancel last second, and even though it completely stressed me out, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, Jay is the best person you could have in your home and my pets had exceptional care the entire time I was across the country. Jay kept in touch constantly with videos and messages, he gave my dogs lots of treats, walks, attention, love and their daily medications. Both my dogs are seniors and he catered to their needs. Jay went above and beyond to even make sure my tortoise was well fed and gave all the wild birds outside seed, as I do, every single morning. I came home to a very clean home and the happiest of pupps. I am so thankful and grateful to have met Jay and I appreciate his kind heart and love for animals. I will most definitely be recommending Jay to everybody I know and use him moving forward. All of my animals are missing him. Thank you so much Jay!
Had Jay come for 6 days while I was on international trip. He did great job keeping me updated on my dog and handled a few unexpected things at the house well. Really appreciated he was willing to help on my behalf. Came home to a clean / picked up house so really nice to have that after a long trip. I appreciate that Jay works from the house so he has much more in person time with my dog than a sitter who comes in evening and leaves in the morning…that’s a real plus for me. Thanks for taking such good care of Coco Jay! Really appreciate it!
We couldn’t ask for a better experience than what Ronald aka Jay provided. From the meet-and-greet through departure everything was communicated clearly, and the updates throughout our trip were amazing. The house was left immaculate, and It was evident that our three pups were very comfortable with Jay, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

Schedule
Most of my time is spent doing software development. I get up early in the morning for concentrated work time. Taking care of dogs and cats fits very well with my lifestyle and is a perfect complement to my software development activities.
