“Trevor was absolutely amazing with our cats this weekend! He spent the full check-in time interacting with them, playing, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for.

We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

She gave them lots of love and attention during every visit and provided fun and detailed descriptions (with lots of photos!) of their time together every day.

About: Please call me Jay. Since 2015, I've cared for anxious, reactive, or happy-go-lucky pups. From a shelter environment to dog walking, doggy daycare, and vet emergency rooms, I've had hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I'm currently studying positive reinforcement training and have successfully supported 20+ dog with day to day enrichment and desensitization and self calming. I am able to care for animals for around 30-40hrs a week. I am used to working a full time job with animals and enjoy being able to spend my day working them. Your home is your safe place and your dog's favorite place to be. I work hard to make sure your dog's routine is followed and your home stays just as neat and clean as you left it.

Sarah S.
“Jay is incredible! My dog is sensitive and reactive, and she can be a challenge for dog sitters (hunger strike, anxiety barking etc). But now, when she sees Jay’s car pull up, she gets wiggly and excited because she knows her friend is here! I can tell that have a great time together, and when I’m back, my dog isn’t extra nervous or clingy. Jay has significant experience with anxious and reactive dogs, and has a really smooth, calming presence that really seems to put my dog at ease. Jay is also very responsive and great providing updates while I’m away. I trust Jay to care for my sweet pup, and could not recommend more highly!”
