Jacob took great care of Dash! There were many walks and trips to the dog park! He also sent tons of pics and videos.

My toy poodle Timmy had a great time with Jacob and his pup Theo! Jacob made sure Timmy stayed cool in the summer heat, posed for pics, and got plenty of snuggles while I was traveling. Excited to keep working with him!

Jacob is the best with my dog Daisy. (Labradoodle) She runs to him when we get there and that makes me feel not so bad about having to leave her. His place and neat and clean and he has a calm nature to him. I’d recommend him any day!

Our dogs Bradley Cooper and Charlie Pride love when we’re gone because they get spoiled at Jacob’s house. He sent us updates with pictures and they came back happy. I recommend Jacob over anyone.

Jacob is truly wonderful with my Cavapoo! From the very first interaction, he was calm, kind, and incredibly attentive. My pup absolutely adores him - tail wagging nonstop the moment Jacob walks through the door. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals and understands how to make them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just a little extra cuddling, Jacob goes above and beyond. He’s patient, responsible, and has such a gentle way about him that puts both me and my dog at ease. I feel completely confident leaving my pup in his care, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to any fellow dog parent.

Schedule

As a full-time flight attendant, I have a flexible and adaptable schedule that allows me to provide consistent, quality pet care. I share my home with Theo, my small, friendly miniature Goldendoodle, who loves meeting new furry friends and adds a playful, social energy to our routine. Caring for dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I live in a secured-access, pet-friendly building with a 24-hour front desk, providing both comfort and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, I follow each pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I keep a clean, calm environment and provide regular updates to ensure owners feel just as at ease as their pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines—maintaining consistency in feeding, exercise, and any special instructions provided. I always aim to leave the home just as I found it, with a happy pet waiting at the door.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! Depending on their personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy a mix of fun activities like neighborhood walks, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment toys, and plenty of cuddle time. For social pups, playtime with my friendly Goldendoodle, Theo, is always a hit. I also tailor activities to each pet’s needs—whether they prefer calm companionship or high-energy play, my goal is to make their time with me feel like a mini vacation!

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes things like feeding schedules, medical conditions, triggers, social preferences, and how they typically react to new environments or other dogs. I also like to know their favorite toys, commands they respond to, and any quirks that make them unique. The more I know, the better I can provide personalized care and keep them happy, comfortable, and safe.
