Highlights
Pet care experience
Giving your dog the love they need!
My whole life, I've provided care and love to a series of five lovable golden retrievers and numerous other dogs. I've promoted their health through frequent walks and exercise, given comfort to them through play and cuddles, and have paid the utmost attention to their needs. I taught one of my family's current goldens to obey commands when he was a puppy and helped the other to overcome his fear of swimming through gentle encouragement and coaxing. I will provide all this experience to ensure your dogs enjoy their time!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My philosophy with pet care is to be gentle but fair. I will go along with the pet's needs for the majority of the time and encourage their development through correction of their behaviors, when necessary. This correction will be done through verbal warnings just strong enough to get the message across, without being overly hostile.
Ratings and reviews
It was wonderful to have Jacob watch Finn at our house. He was very responsive, communicative and polite. Jacob asked great questions about Finn and his daily routine. He was easy to work with on the details of our requests. We returned to a happy dog in a happy house. Thank YOU Jacob!
Jacob stayed with my very active Labrador retriever for two nights over the weekend. It was a great visit. Jacob provided regular updates and asked clear, specific questions as needed. The house was spotless after Jacob's visit and my dog was calm and tired. I highly recommend Jacob for overnight stays!
Prompt and professional. Very patient wit our dog.
Jacob was responsible, thorough, and great with our pups! We’ll definitely use him again!
Jacob was amazing! He watched my pup, Reggie, for an afternoon while I was visiting St. Louis. He took Reggie on lots of walks and sent pictures throughout the day. Very happy with Jacob and would highly recommend!
Jacob has been a trusted and reliable friend of our family for a very long time. We have a small dog who he has spent a good deal of time caring for. Our dog loves him and always looks forward to his visits. Our family does too! We have no reluctance in allowing him into our home without supervision. He is the sort of person we have always been able to count on, and he goes above and beyond to be helpful and kind. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jacob as a pet caregiver. He is very caring and responsible.

Schedule
I'm currently a PhD student at WashU and so have the majority of my availability in the evenings and weekends. Weekends are best, especially considering the rigors of the school year.
