Jacob did an amazing job watching our 5 year old frenchie and 7 month old lab. He provided great updates and loved on our dogs as we would. 10/10 would recommend Jacob to anyone who needs help watching their dogs! We’d be happy to have Jacob watch our pups again.

Jacob was amazing with my stubborn bulldog. Both Savvy and my home were in perfect condition when I returned from vacation. I will use him any time I have to be away from home. Just perfect!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 28, 2022

Jacob was wonderful with my Bernese mountain dog oakley. Oak was always happy to see him and enjoyed the visits. Jacob was very respectful to my home, followed any requests I asked and communicated well with me. Will definitely use him again for future visits

Jacob was raised in a pet loving family. He has taken care of my families pets as well as many of my friends, who sing his praises. His sister is a veterinarian who is a phone call away from any concerns while he is caring for your pet. He is responsible and available, as he is in college taking all his classes online.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment so no fence unfortunately, but love to be active and have a park right next to my apartment that I can take them to or like taking them to the greenway to play in the river (if ok with owner)

A typical day

I typically wake up around 8 am, go to my classes for the day, and come home to study/workout/watch movies. I would say I’m home about 70% of my day so plenty of time for your pup

My preference is medium/bigger dogs (grew up with labs and goldens), but do not discriminate! All sizes are welcome (as long as they aren’t loud)
