I work from my computer, so I’m home most of the day and don’t have to leave for long periods of time. I also usually wake up around 5–6 AM and like to start the day with a walk outside. I enjoy being active, so if your dog enjoys walks and getting outside, I’m always happy to include them.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I make sure dogs are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and playtime. I also include walks and outdoor time if that’s part of their routine. Since I work from home on my computer, my schedule is flexible and I’m able to be around throughout the day to give dogs the attention and care they need while their owner is away

❤️ Treating Your Dog Like Family

Pet care experience

Ever since I was young, I helped take care of my neighbors’ dogs by walking, feeding, and sometimes bathing them. I also grew up with two dogs that I loved very much, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, which is why I really enjoy spending time caring for other people’s pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

Jacob was amazing. He watched our puppy, house, rabbit, and fish. Zero loved him so much. We will definitely be using him again :)

Jacob was great! He took great care of Chuck for me and even did extra stuff around the house I didn't ask for. The house looked better than when I left and was very clean. I will for sure look to use Jacob again in the future!

Jacob was great! Walter was very happy when we returned. He kept the place nice and clean, sent us photos of our pup and gave him lots of walks😊
