Safety, trust & environment

I personally can't allow pets over right now but when I walk or pet sit I like to let them lead. I don't try to make them do anything they aren't comfortable doing and I feel letting them take the lead allows them to initiate content on their terms. That way trust between us is easier to build. Also a treat never fails.

Information Jacob D. would like to know about your pet

I like knowing how often the dog eats and how often they go out. Also if they have anything restricting them from any kind of movement or action.

A typical day

Parks. Dogs like parks. I like parks. Dogs like catching things and tugging. I like throwing toys and pulling. I want to make sure they have fun, get tired, and take a nice nap afterwards.

Pet care experience

I enjoy taking care of pretty much all types of pets. I just love animals. I've taken care of little guys ranging from dogs and cats to snakes and turtles. I am also very good with puppies and I get along very well with large dogs. I personally raised a Rottweiler and before him I had a pit bull and an Akita. I also tend to take care of some pets for family friends and my moms coworkers. They call me to walk dogs and watch houses. Currently i live with a roommate who also loves animals. I am able to care for and handle all sizes of dogs and cats.

Jacob does great work when he shows up. My dog received quality care and was visibly more relaxed when I got home. However, excuses to not come were frequent and he was often much later than the time we discussed. He also didn’t communicate well to the point that a new sitter could be reached for the days missed.

Jacob has been a great dog walker for our little Mason who can be a little hard to handle at times. Jacob is flexible with his schedule and is very responsible. We never have any worries when Jacob is taking our little guy out.

Jacob is an amazing dog sitter that listens and can carry out any instruction given. He's friendly, outgoing, and is great at taking care of all dog breeds. He recently took care of my two pups while I was in NYC for a business trip and I have to say when I returned home; the house couldn't of looked better! Cant say enough of how impressed I was.
