Pet care experience
Work from home dog lover - large & secure garden!
Since the age of 7, our family have always had a dog and I have always been the one to walk them daily and shower them in love! I've been the lead trainer, walker and care giver for puppies, senior dogs we've adopted and everything in-between! We were always a Labrador household but through borrow my doggy I've been lucky enough to look after many more breeds and sizes - from pugs and cockatoos to great danes and wire haired labradoodles! I live with my partner in Cambridge in a pet free home and we would be willing to have dog(s) board at ours or to help with in-home boarding too if this is preferential for the dogs comfort. I am always a believer that the more love and care you show a dog the more it will give you back, and I always have the time and patience to allow a dog to get comfortable with me and to be a dog!! Walks, playing in the garden, going for sniffs, having rest and alone time - whatever a dog needs I want to give it to them to make them happy and I would love to help look after your dog and give them the same love and care I do with our family dogs!

Ratings and reviews
Jacob provided the best stay for our dog. He understood all of his needs and planned a lovely day and evening to suit Dexter. We recieved lots a fab updates, including photos and video. Very reassuring. We will absolutely have Jacob’s look after our boy again.
Jacob looked after Lola while we attended our son’s wedding in Harrogate. This was the second time he has looked after her. We got regular updates and photos and Jacob even took Lola on various trips out. It was like a mini break for her! 😂 We knew Jacob would look after Lola and had no concerns when we left her with him. I would genuinely recommend Jacob as a friendly, kind and excellent person to trust with your fur baby! Thank you Jacob. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Flash had a fantastic time at Jacob’s. Jacob kept us regularly updated with lots of Photos, We were more concerned that Flash would not want to leave. Really recommend Jacob. We could really enjoy our holiday knowing Flash was in safe hands.
Jacob was brilliant with Whiskey and looked after her like she was his own. She was really happy when I picked her up, and I could tell she'd been well looked after. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. I'd happily leave Whiskey with him again and would definitely recommend him.
This was the first time we have left Lola with anyone and we’re very nervous about doing it but Jacob really made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and photos on Lola and this helped to put our minds at rest. I would recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He was brilliant - we will be using him again.
Jacob was great and looked after Coco really well. Lovely to have some photos too. Would definitely recommend.

Schedule
I work full time but I am lucky to work remotely and would be at home 7 days a week. Provided owners are comfortable with the dog coming out with us, we would also be happy to take the dog on days out to the beaches in Norfolk or the hills in Herefordshire when we go for walks at the weekends - which is our typical go to activity!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully secure garden which is 150ft long. The dog would be more than welcome to sleep in any room in the house and can stay on its bed or in a crate - whichever is best.
A typical day
Walks, games in the garden, trips to the hills or beach at the weekend, we live 1 minute away from the river and Stourbridge common and so we will be able to do long or short park walks by the river all the time!
