Pop Punk Pet Professional

Pet care experience

Heya! Ive never met a pet I cant win over. Its because of that, I was basically the official house and pet sitter for my entire friend group and family back home. On multiple occasions, it has included a menagerie of pigs, rats, and birds. Most of the time, its just been cats and dogs of all shapes and health needs. Im quiet, respectful, dont smoke. Other than that, Im very open to requests. If youve any questions, feel free to ask! Note on Rates: My rates are a lil higher than some of the other petsitters. Thats because I DONT double book. When you have a booking with me, it has my undivided attention. Your pets are special to you, and I don't want them to be treated any differently when you're away. Thanks!

Jacob spent the night with my Mastiff mix this week while I had an overnight stay for work. Not only did he keep me informed of his arrival and departure times (since I was on the road and couldn't meet him at the house), I was really impressed that he paid attention to small details that other sitters haven't noticed. For example, Shumba likes to dig a hole in the dirt for a cool place to lay, and Jacob mentioned that one of the holes is getting a bit deep near the fence. Jacob is easy-going and was always responsive when I sent texts, never more than an hour if he was working. My dog was relaxed when I got home, and the house was spotless - sheets and towels even already in the washing machine! I'll definitely call on Jacob again.

Jacob is a life saver! We contacted him because we had to take a last minute emergency trip to San Francisco because of a family medical issue. Our puppy Marla is super friendly and loving but she gets a little spastic and super excited when she meets new people. She really loves attention. At first meeting Jacob handled her like a champ and made us very comfortable with leaving her in his care. We ended up having to take an extended stay a few days longer than originally expected, and he went over and beyond to help us out. He took her on walks and threw her ball for her and hung out with her all day and even stayed over night with her for 5 days, with no issues at all. We can't thank him enough and will definitely use him in the future, and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a great pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️????

Jake has been wonderful! My dog was recently diagnosed as diabetic and Jake has helped with walks, feedings, and even insulin shots. Timing is very important with diabetic animals and Jake is always prompt. He has gone above and beyond by helping out with my cats too as needed and cleaning up dog accidents. I would highly recommend him

My wife and I have used Jacob as our house/pet sitter on multiple occasions. He is a very mature, responsible and intelligent person. We felt very confident leaving our animals in Jacob's care, and we have a complicated rotation with our pets. We have two dogs, a cat, a rat and a pig and not everyone gets along. If there were errors in the rotation of who's inside/outside, or with feeding.. there could be fights or injuries. Jacob has been the best pet sitter we've had.. we were sad to see him go, but we support his ventures.
