Pet care experience

Proud dog dad to 2 furry goofballs

I've been obsessed with dogs my whole life! Some of my earliest memories are playing with and climbing all over my grandmother's black lab, Cinder. I grew up with Vizslas and now have two rescue mixes of my own. As a long-time amateur pet care provider, it's time to take my career to the next level. I have experience caring for all dogs: puppies, ageing dogs, tiny dogs with big attitudes, and giant dogs. I do walks, overnights, drop-ins, baths, medicine administration, and even have experience caring for my own dogs post-surgery.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog-dad myself, I know that trusting that your pets are safe and cared for is of the upmost importance. Trusting your pet's well-being with me is not something I take lightly. When we meet before I provide any care, we'll discuss any and all safety items (ie fears, triggers, prior history, etc).

Jacob did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. Even with the added stress of some home renovations going on at the same time, I could tell our dogs were happy and comfortable from the daily updates. I would absolutely ask Jacob to watch our dogs again!

Jacob would be an excellent Pet Caregiver. He is responsible, dependable, and trustworthy. In addition to that, he is compassionate and loves animals! He has cared for my two dogs (a Vizsla and a Labradoodle) and they love him! Jacob provided great care, attention, exercise, and love to my dogs while I was away. Highly recommend!!

Jake is an incredibly responsible and loving dog dad. He has cared for my dog, Tuna, and I’ve also seen firsthand how he cares for his own dogs, Hoosier and Chloe. Jake consistently puts the safety and well-being of his pets first, ensuring they have the right environment, proper diet, and veterinary care. Beyond that, Jake prioritizes giving his dogs enriched, fulfilling lives, making sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and exercise. Hoosier, Chloe, and Tuna have been on lots of adventures together and Tuna absolutely loves seeing her Uncle Jake. I trust Jake with Tuna without hesitation.

I work remote full-time, so I have lots of flexibility to accommodate your/your pet's needs. I can do drop-ins during the work day, I can work from your home during over-nights, and I can provide walks at nearly all hours of the day.
