About Wesley J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I currently do not own any dogs but I do own one high-anxiety cat whose behavior is being managed well with daily medications mixed in with his food. I'm very patient with both cats and dogs and am always ready to give them plenty of space to approach me and begin to feel comfortable with me in their own time. I am comfortable caring for dogs via feeding, walks, playtime, and medicating as needed. For cats I can provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime or just hanging out, and medicating as necessary. I have experience pilling cats if the cat's personality allows for this.
Information Wesley J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral issues that you're trying to work on. I can prepare accordingly and continue to work with them to enforce good behavior if necessary
A typical day
I'm happy to take dogs for walks and give them ample outside playtime, or just hang out with them on the couch if that's what they prefer. With cats I will give them whatever space they need and will gladly wave a wand around or provide them with whatever fun activities they prefer.

Pet care experience
I grew up with multiple dogs and so have had experience since youth walking, feeding, and caring for them. In my adult life I have co-owned one dog for around 6 years and worked to house-train him and correct some behavior issues via positive reinforcement. I have also owned multiple cats over the past 16 years including raising one from kittenhood to adulthood. For the past 2.5 years I have been volunteering regularly with the in-house dogs at the PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) Gray's Ferry clinic. My responsibilities include giving the dogs ample enrichment time outside by playing with them and positively reinforcing good behaviors, as well as feeding and cleaning up after them. I have worked there with all different dog sizes and age ranges, including puppies and seniors.

Reviews
Wesley is really great! He sat for my senior cat (who has incontinence) and has shown the utmost care when looking after her. I really appreciated the photos he took of her when giving her treats; I think she really loves his visits!
Wesley was great with our cat and kitten! Great communicator when booking and during the visit. Wesley is reliable and we would absolutely hire him again.
Wes is such a conscientious and caring petsitter! 🐾 He loves animals and pays close attention to their individual needs. It gives me peace of mind to leave my cat in his care.
