I can’t recommend Jacob highly enough as a dog walker and sitter. He has been absolutely fantastic with my dog, and it’s clear that he genuinely understands and loves what he does. Jacob has experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it really shows in how confidently and calmly he handles every situation. My dog can be selectively reactive to certain dogs and people, and Jacob handles that with incredible skill and awareness. He knows how to read my dog’s body language, anticipate triggers, and manage situations in a calm, controlled way that keeps everyone safe and comfortable. One thing that really stands out is his ability to sense when something is off and respond with care and attentiveness, which gives me peace of mind. With my dog, he strikes the perfect balance—making sure he gets plenty of exercise and burns off energy during walks, while also being incredibly caring and engaged during downtime at home. He gives him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and it’s clear my dog feels happy and secure with him. My dog is always excited to see him, which says everything. Jacob is reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes the extra mile to make sure dogs are happy, safe, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker or sitter.

I love to give dogs treats for training as well as trust building. Please let me know if you would prefer if I did not do this or if there are any allergies.
