Safety, trust & environment

Information TJ J. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, please let me know: Medical Needs: Any specific medications (oral or injected) and schedules. Social Style: How does your dog react to other pups or strangers on walks? The Golden Rules: Any off-limit furniture, favorite "weird" habits, or specific house rules I should follow to keep their routine consistent.

A typical day

My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. For Active Pups: I love staying active! For energetic dogs, I enjoy 1-mile morning runs or focused fetch sessions. I am always mindful of the L.A. heat, we’ll stick to grass or shaded trails at Griffith Park to keep paws safe. For Senior or Low-Energy Pups: I provide gentle companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a calm environment. I'm highly observant of comfort levels and happy to stick to short, sniff-heavy strolls. Safety & Communication: Whether we’re at the park or in your backyard, safety is my priority. You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you know exactly how much fun we’re having!

With over 20 years of experience and a background in animal welfare, I provide more than just a walk - I provide professional peace of mind. As a former President of my high school’s Animal Humane Society and a long-time weekly volunteer at the Atlanta Humane Society, I have a deep understanding of animal behavior and safety. Specialized Care: I’m fully trained and comfortable administering both oral and injected medications. Whether you have a senior pet requiring a gentle touch or a high-energy dog with a specific routine, I’m equipped to handle specialized medical and behavioral needs. Your Home, Respected: I treat your space with the same care as your pets. I pride myself on being a respectful, tidy house-sitter who follows all house rules to the letter. I want you to return to a calm, clean environment and a very happy pet. Flexible & Reliable: I offer a highly flexible schedule, including early mornings and late nights. I’m also available for pet transport to appointments or your workplace. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s life better.

TJ was great! The puppies were happy and took care of them, as we would. Really appreciate his attention to our puppy and elder dog!

TJ was absolutely amazing with my dog! It was so reassuring to see him taking notes on our introduction meeting. I knew I could trust him with her. When I got home, my place was cleaner than I’d ever seen it. I will book him again! EVERY SINGLE TIME. Thank you so much!

TJ was great! He sent us lots of pictures of our cat and dog while he was watching them. We came back and he had even cleaned the apartment! He went above and beyond while watching our animals and we’re so grateful!

TJ was phenomenal!! I’ve used rover a few times and have not had the best experiences, so TJ was a breath of fresh air. When he came by beforehand to meet my pets, he was taking notes, which really put me at ease that they would be taken care of well. He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, so I was able to enjoy my time away not worry about my animals. Lastly, he left my home spotless, even did the dishes and washed the bedding and towels! I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I don’t want him to get too busy, but he deserves it! Thanks TJ!
