Pet care experience

I have been house/dog sitting and dog walking since I was 17 years old at my first duty station. I wouldn't usually use my leave during holidays and so members of my section would have me look after their animals while they went home. I have watched all types of dogs up to a 90 lb German Shepard and feel like I can handle any type or size of dog. Good at following task direction and guidelines set by the owner from amount of walks to amount of food to give. Looking forward to working with you!

Jacob is so great! I have seen him interact with his own animals, as well as animals of friends, family, and strangers. He is kind, gentle, and has incredible patience. I trust him with my own pets and I think he will do a great job with yours! Plus, it helps that he a big, strong guy, he can keep your pets safe on a walk or while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Through experience in law enforcement and the military I can follow task directions exactly how the owner wants thing to be done. I am able to handle larger breeds and keep them under control on walks if they are pullers.

Information Jacob G. would like to know about your pet

Would just need to know how many dogs you have and if they have any special dietary/medical needs that I would need to be aware of to properly care for them!

A typical day

Open to any kind of activity that your dog desires or would benefit from. Can toss a ball or play tug of war or take them on long walks/runs to enjoy the smells around the neighborhood!
