Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys to offer When it’s very hot we do some playing in the yard and then it’s time for a walk and then we take a 45 minute to an hour break for a nap or rest and then we do it all over again All animals should feel welcome in my home and spoiled decently as my animals are All animals that stay with me must have a collapsible crate brought in with them so that nobody gets into anything they shouldn’t at night Night time is crate time as we have cats we let wander at night

Information Jacob D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if an animal has any special needs or needs anything specific like can only be given specific treats or can only be walked at night or is having trouble with potty training

A typical day

Waking up at around 8 we go outside for potty while I get the breakfast ready after 30 minutes outside everyone comes inside for food After a 30 minute rest to let the food digest we go back outside for a more playing and then for a walk Rest for a hour or so rinse and repeat we have tons of water and toys I will throw sticks and frisbees and balls until my arm is numb if they play to hard or get to dirty we can do a bath or just a wipe down

Pet care experience

On Mondays and Tuesdays I am off work Any other day I’m free until 1230 for walks I work from 2-10 Wednesday through Sunday I treat every animal as if it were my own Either letting a cat sit on my lap until I can’t feel my legs Or training in basic commands and manners To throwing a ball or stick until my arm is numb I love animals and all the fun that goes with it ** I did have to raise my rates due to rovers fee** I have been taking care of animals since I was little but really got into it around 7th and 8th grade Walking peoples dogs and putting up flyers at my local pool I have many repeat clients for over 3 years so many great pups(had to stop because of highschool) I helped a lot of them loose weight from daily 20-30 minute walks I still remember every dog I walked and boarded Nothing has changed except now I work morning shift as a security guard but my wife is home to take care of any dogs kept with us After I’m done with work I then take over with walks and playing in the backyard Everyone will get plenty of water If anyone gets dirty then it’s bath time or at least a good thorough wipe down Your pets will be treated like my own kids while they are being taken care of with the Diamond family

Jacob, you've been great! Thank you for being so good to Zoey and being so faithful to come and walk her. Weather permitting of course. (so much rain 🤣) She looks forward to your walks.

Jacob has been a wonderful dog walker for Zoey. He makes her walking experience enjoyable and makes over her and she just loves him. He's been very punctual and has walked the dog for the scheduled amount of time.
