Jake B.
“I've known Jake to be an animal lover for over 10 years now. He's gentle, calm, and caring towards his own animals and other's. He's the only one I've trusted to watch my own dog, whom he agreed to watch on a days notice when I needed a pet sitter. His own pets are calm and gentle, and I trust he'd be an excellent dog sitter to any new dogs as well. Jake's relaxed nature and his attention to animal's emotions are an excellent combination. This is the man you want to care for your own pets.”
