Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, consistent care for dogs
I'm a lifelong dog owner who loves giving pets consistent, comfortable care while their people are away. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have often trusted me to help with their dogs for day-to-day support, informal training, and have been repeatedly told that I'm good with dogs. I prioritize reliable, consistent care: timely walks and drop-ins, bathroom breaks, fresh water, structured playtime, safe leash handling, and attention tailored to each dog's comfort and routine. I'm experienced with puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and anxious dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide daily updates and photos to let you know your beloved pet is in good hands. For walks, I follow a consistent routine that includes leash manners, a pace appropriate for your dog and your neighborhood, and decompression time afterwards. I stay aware of traffic, unsafe areas, adverse weather, and keep distance from unfamiliar dogs as needed. For drop-ins I can provide the same attention to safety and routine, plus time for play, socializing, and any other daily routines you'd like followed.
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely Amazing Pet Sitter! Jack did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my Pomeranian, Sassy, and my Siamese cat, Dukesa! From the very beginning, he was reliable, punctual, and incredibly caring. He truly went above and beyond, treating my pets as if they were his own. He made sure Sassy and Dukesa were well fed, received their medications on schedule, went on their walks, and most importantly, received plenty of love and attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and responsible hands. Jack was attentive to every detail and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout his stay. You can genuinely tell how much he loves animals and how dedicated he is to providing the best care possible. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and loving pet sitter. Sassy and Dukesa absolutely loved him, and we will definitely be booking him again! 🐾❤️
Last minute request and Jack came to the rescue! Loved getting picture updates and pups were happy. Will absolutely book again.
Jack was wonderful as always! He stopped by this evening while we were away, took great care of our dogs, gave them plenty of time outside, and made sure they got some exercise and attention instead of just a quick potty break. We always appreciate the photo updates and knowing they’re in such good hands while we’re gone. It’s such a relief coming home to happy, relaxed dogs instead of anxious ones. Jack is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We highly recommend him and will definitely continue booking with him!
We’ve used Jack for pet sitting for the last couple of years, and he’s been great every time. He’s easy to work with, responsive, and takes good care of our dogs whether he’s stopping by during the day or watching them while we’re out of town. We don’t have to check in constantly or wonder if things are getting done. He handles everything, and that lets us actually enjoy being away. The biggest thing for me is consistency. Every time we come home, the dogs are doing well, the house is in good shape, and everything has been taken care of. That’s exactly what you want from someone you’re trusting with your pets. I’d recommend Jack to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter. He’s someone you can count on, and we’ve always had a positive experience.
I’ve trusted Jack with my two dogs, Napoleon and Lelu, for over two years, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. Whether I have a long workday and need someone to stop by for walks, playtime, and companionship, or I’m leaving on vacation for a week or more, Jack is always my first call. In fact, I’ve adjusted my travel dates around his availability because I trust him that much. My dogs have very different personalities and needs. Lelu is about 7 years old with a special diet and urinary issues, while Napoleon is a 10-year-old reactive dachshund who has never been comfortable around most men. Jack is the exception. Napoleon absolutely trusts him, and seeing that relationship develop has been incredible. Jack’s calm, patient approach has even helped improve Napoleon’s recall and confidence outdoors, something I never expected. Jack always follows every instruction, whether it’s special feeding schedules, giving my dogs extra time outside, or caring for Lelu when she’s having a skin flare-up. He pays attention to the little details that make a huge difference. On one trip, Lelu got sick while I was away, and I came home to find everything cleaned up, the couch cover washed and folded, and the house looking exactly as I left it. Those small acts of care mean so much. He provides updates and photos as often as I want them, and I never spend my trips worrying about my dogs because I know they’re being loved, exercised, and cared for like they’re his own. Every time I come home, they’re happy to see me, but they’re relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, patient, trustworthy, and genuinely loves the animals he cares for, I can’t recommend Jack highly enough. Trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and Jack has earned that trust over and over again.
All our dogs love Jack!! He is patient, kind, and firm when needed. He's been the ultimate "go-to" guy for all our dog sitting needs!
