Jacob was amazing with our dog! He made him feel right at home and even let him sleep in his bed every night, which he absolutely loved. Jacob also took him on long daily walks and made sure he got plenty of exercise. Throughout the stay, Jacob kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that he genuinely cared for our dog and treated him like family. We would definitely trust Jacob with him again!

I can’t recommend Jacob highly enough. As a software engineer, I travel frequently for work, and every time I had to leave town, I knew my dog was in the best possible hands. Jacob is incredibly dependable, responsible, and genuinely caring. He treated my dog like family, kept me updated with photos and messages, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s rare to find someone who is both trustworthy and compassionate, and I never had to worry because I knew my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. Anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter or walker would be lucky to have him care for their pets

Jacob took wonderful care of our Bernedoodle, Bentley. He was reliable, attentive, and made sure Bentley had everything he needed—from regular walks and playtime to feeding him on schedule and giving him his medication. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such caring hands. I would absolutely trust Jacob to care for my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.
