ABOUT
Our interaction will begin by visiting your dog in your home to temperament test, get to know more about your fur baby and create a profile that outlines your pets’ specific needs, vet, medications, medical conditions as well as other topics, such as access to your home. We’ll spend time together finding out what’s important to you and I will customize services around you and your pet’s needs.
After each appointment, I will provide you a text message recap called “The Scoop” which includes details of your pet’s experience, including their status when I arrived, potty break details, and encounters with other dogs or people (if applicable). With your permission, I may also include a photo of your dog.
My Approach
San Diego Dog Walker Approach
Lisa M. (Sweet Pea and Luna)
We feel so fortunate to have found Jared. He does a great job walking our dogs. They are reactive to other dogs, and he has actually snuck in some training and they are so much better. Due to a typo (on my end), Jared accidentally gave one of my dogs some medication she didn’t need, however, due to his timely text communication it was caught so we were able to monitor the situation; our dog is fine. It was reassuring knowing that he was so on top of things.
