Information Jacob E. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special needs-medical, supportive pills, allergies, anxiety etc- we believe every pet communicates in their own unique way.

A typical day

We love going on walks around the neighborhood in the morning, during lunch break, mid-day, and evening. If your pup is higher energy, we can add in a run or two as well! For older or more laid-back dogs, we can adjust to shorter, more relaxed walks. We’d also be excited to take your pup to a local dog park, beach, or out and about on the town, if they’re friendly with other dogs—it’s always a great opportunity to get some energy out and sniff around.

Pets

Your dog, our only guest

Pet care experience

We only take one booking at a time. Your dog is our only guest — never one of six in a crowded house. Undivided attention, in a real home, with people who are around all day! :) My wife Simone and I have spent years caring for dogs of every breed and size. I work from a home studio and take plenty of breaks to play, and Simone has a flexible schedule, so someone's almost always here. Your pup gets daily walks, run-around time in our fenced backyard, fecth, and as many photo updates as you want while you're gone. The third member of the welcome committee is Mango, our 7 year old Lab. She's calm, gentle, and genuinely likes the company. She'll share her toys, her beds, and a nap if that's more your dog's pace. Mellow or full-tilt, your pup will fit right in. Got questions, or want to talk through anything specific? Reach out anytime -- happy to help!!

Mango and fam were so welcoming to our 12 week pup! He came back exhausted which is a win in my book! !

Jacob, Mango, and Simone took such great care of Rupert while we were in town to attend a wedding. Ruper was thrilled to go back each time, and we so appreciated their excellent responsiveness and flexibility. I highly reccomend!
