Dogs Rule, Humans Drool.

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced dog owner, foster, and lover living in Oakley, CA. The love I have for animals has enriched my life many times overs. I have 12 years of volunteer & paid experience working with and handling dogs. 🐕 I'm reliable, confident and punctual. I'm educated in dog behavior, able to manage dog selective situations, provide training tips, and have FUN. <-----this is the best part. Food Allergies? Special Needs or Medication? No worries - I know all the tricks and am always willing to learn yours! Even a pup with separation anxiety can have fun with me. I am patient, kind and consistent. I have a car for adventures and dependability purposes. =)

Our dog, Cali, stayed with Jacob for 10 days and he was the best sitter we could have asked for! We did a “meet and greet” with Jacob before the sit and he made both us and Cali feel very comfortable (which is amazing because Cali tends to be very nervous/barky around new people). Jacob knows how to handle dogs with fear/anxiety! Throughout the stay, Jacob sent us updates with adorable photos and videos. They went out on long walks in the beautiful area around his house, they played in the backyard, and they cuddled around the house. Cali was so relaxed and happy in the pictures and when we picked her up at the end of the sit. I’d happily ask Jacob look after Cali again and would absolutely recommend him to others!

My partner and I have used Jacob for dog and cat sitting a few times. I really appreciated how well he communicated with us each day. Jacob sent pictures of my pets so I was assured they were happy and healthy. My dog Leaf is a picky eater, and Jacob sent me videos of Leaf eating breakfast and dinner that gave me that extra assurance that my pets were in good hands! I highly recommend Jacob- he’s a wonderful caregiver! Jacob was responsible, accommodating, reliable, and most of all trustworthy!

Jacob is excellent with dogs! Extremely caring and loving and he possess what it feels like a sixth sense to read dogs minds! but it's not magic, it is his long experience with dogs that makes him able to read their body language and figure out their needs (as much as he can and the pooch communicates of course) Jacob is also really great at training dogs, he is consistent, kind and patient. I had a magnificent experience working with him and I really recommend him for any of your dogs needs.

Jacob was so wonderful with my deaf, stubborn, bulldozing bullterrier. I was so lucky. My dog, Kane, was so simple in many ways, but hard for many people. He would eat quarters off the ground, demand to be carried, and drink out of the toilet if you weren’t looking. Some how he always improved under Jacob’s care and was happy to be there. Kane was a rescue and had abandonment issues, so it was wonderful that Kane had no worries when I dropped him off. I cannot recommend Jacob enough!
