Pet care experience

I just moved to North Carolina from Minnesota. Have the summer free and I have lots of free time and would love to spend some of that time caring for dogs. I’ve owned dogs almost my whole life and I used to volunteer at the humane society. I live with my fiancee Jessie and she loves animals just as much as I do. I have owned many cats but currently we don’t have one. I have a 5 year old sheepadoodle and he is the happiest and friendliest dog I’ve ever owned. He would love to keep your dog company. We have a fenced in yard and live 4 minutes from a great trail where we walk daily. Thanks for looking and I hope to hear from you

Jake was so great with both of our dogs! One is an anxious rescue dog who is slow to warm up, and Jake followed all of our recommendations for how to build trust quickly with her. Within the first day, she was curled up on the couch next to Jake, resting her chin on his legs, and she slept right next to him all night. We were so relieved and thankful our dog became comfortable so quickly! She’s also a bit apprehensive of other dogs at first, and she absolutely loves Jake’s dog, who is really good at reading other dogs’ energy and matching it. His dog is truly as friendly as they come, and was totally unbothered when our dogs drank from his water bowl & sat on his bed when we first dropped them off. Our second dog needs medicine and a more frequent feeding schedule, and Jake was perfectly happy to accommodate. We appreciated the quick updates after dropping them off and seeing so many pictures of everyone cuddled on the couch. We will definitely be booking with him again!

Our boy was stoked to spend the weekend with Jacob and his dog, Burns. The big backyard and a sweet Dog Mom available for snuggles made ours feel at home. Cinnamon slept in for four days after the weekend with Jacob! We hope to have this Rover again.

Jacob was amazing with our pup! We recieved daily updates and pictures of Lucy playing with Burnes in the back yard. Jacob also went above and beyond when our dog was having a mild allergic reaction to some meds we were giving her; they gave her extra attention and kept us updated the whole time. Would highly recommend!

Jacob did a wonderful job of communicating with me. Pepper seemed very happy and content. I appreciate all his hard work and recommend him highly.
