Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted, experienced & enthusiast
I have had animals in my life as long as I remember. Throughout the years that includes 4 dogs and 4 cats. I am a massive lover of both. While I don’t have any of my own living with me at the moment, it’s something I am keen to experience again. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior animals and everything in-between. I am very used to walking on lead and off.

Dog Sitter Review We couldn’t have asked for a more caring sitter for our 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy. Jacob looked after her for a month, and it wasn’t always an easy sit as Lucy became particularly anxious being away from home. She is usually cared for by in-home pet sitters, so this was a big adjustment for her. Jacob handled everything with incredible patience, empathy and compassion — from her anxiety and marking to tummy troubles — always treating her with such kindness and understanding. He kept us regularly updated throughout her stay, which gave us great peace of mind, and he also took the most beautiful photos of Lucy. It was lovely to see her little personality coming through despite her initial anxiety. We really appreciated Jacob’s kind, calm and caring approach. He clearly has a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and comfortable. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate and genuinely caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Jacob, for taking such great care of Lucy🐾
Very easy to organize with, great care was taken to look after our dog in the hot weather
Jacob took very good care of my dog Duchess. He was communicative, flexible and sent lots of pictures and updates. He and Duchess seemed like they had a really good time together, and he allowed her to sleep on his bed too, which is always a plus! I will definitely ask him to look after my dog again.
Rocky had a lovely time with Jacob . He was very happy n comfortable with Jacob .
Jacob was an amazing companion for our lovely Labradoodle puppy, Miso. Leaving your dog with someone new was really stressful, but Jacob made the whole experience so reassuring. He kept us updated with messages, shared photos of Miso, and even took her on a fun walk around the neighborhood and on the nearby canal. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a top floor flat with two stairs leading up and two points of entry (Front door and then my door). I don’t leave my windows wide open, I have ventilation and air con and a smart thermostat. I drive and have a car. There Is a big field outside my flat and a decent walk through Green park and Shaw park. I won’t do off lead walking for safety. I am well familiar with the vets nearby for emergencies.
