Pet care experience
I have owned and played with dogs my entire life. I have also worked with toddlers for many years, and I still don't know how much of a difference there is between the two. I have taken a break from owning one myself for a couple years as I raise two humans. However, any chance we get to pet dogs, help walk dogs and dog sit, we take full advantage. I work from home, so it is super helpful to have dogs around to walk to get me out of the house. We also live less than 10 minutes from 2 different dog parks. In addition I have a 5 and 7 year old who are ready and willing to heap plenty of affection and cuddles on your dogs.
Reviews
Has always done an excellent job with Spike.Would recommend to anyone.
Second booking with Jay, and like last time, communication was great!
Jay was able to accommodate me despite my last-minute request. My baby girl was taken excellent care of during her stay at Jay’s home, as evidenced from the picture updates that he sent me. Communication was very smooth, and Jay replied to me almost immediately every time. I will definitely invoke his help next time I am out of town.
Jay was great with my Maggie and she seemed to have a great time with him at his place. Definitely recommend him for anyone needing a reliable and knowledgable sitter. Will be rebooking in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard and a very calm, dog friendly neighborhood. My sons and I like taking walks and bike rides and my youngest son is literally part dog himself. He's never met a dog he didn't want to get on the floor and love on.

Information Jay S. would like to know about your pet
I want to know the same things about your dogs as I want to know about my students. What do they like to do? What makes them happy? What makes them sad? How can I help motivate your doggo? Are there certain signs I should look for when they have to go to the bathroom, when they get hungry or have other needs? The more I know about your wonderful pet's personality, the better! :)
A typical day
We have a lovely neighborhood that doesn't get a lot of traffic. We are located near Tipton trails as well, which has lots of trails, as well as being close to the constitution trail. My sons and I also love going to the Ewing park and Jersey hill area and running around. We can cater to high energy dogs in that way, in addition to giving your doggo lots of room to explore, sights to see and smells to take in :)

I work from home, so my schedule is wide open. I do watch 2 dogs overnight usually twice a week, but they have been amazing with every dog we've watched.
