Pet care experience
My dog ownership experience started at 14, when the Labradoodle puppy my family brought home began to grow into a 115 gentle giant. Since then I have taken care of dogs of a range of sizes, ages, and energy and training levels. I have also lived very amicably with several cats. In either case that has included feeding, watering, medicating, training, and playing with those animals.
Reviews
Jacob is a great sitter/walker- reliable, communicative, and provides great pics! He’s gone above and beyond for my dog. Highly recommend.
Jacob watched over my cat and dog for 2.5 weeks in my home and did an excellent job keeping my pets happy and me without worry so I could focus on my vacation while overseas.
Jacob has been helping me with Kai for the past few days. He is patient and affectionate with my puppy. Kai looks happy with him. :)
About Jacob G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
You're hiring me to watch and stimulate your pet. Unless it's a part of the training process or I am completing a pet-related task, your dog will be out interacting with me. I grew up with pets and now spend a lot of free time interacting with a young puppy. I have a healthy respect for animals' ability to get into things and places they should not, as well as a recognition that excessive or ineffective behavioral correction is counter-productive. Finally, I recognize you're trusting me with a particularly vulnerable member of the family. My aim is to return your pet to you happy, tired, and excited for another opportunity to interact with me.
