Personable 21 year old dog lover!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals of all ages and sizes. Most have been younger dogs but a few have been very old and required special care like administering medicine or special food. I love dogs so much and have 2 back home in Austin! I also love cats and have always wanted one but could never have one as a kid because both my parents are allergic!

Jacob was amazing! He took the time to come meet my pets prior to me leaving for vacation, sent me updates and pictures through out my trip, and was wonderful guest in my home.

Jacob was great. He stayed with Mozart and Bella for a few hours in our AirBnB while I attended a Wings game. Jacob is personable and professional. Excellent communication and response time. My dogs liked him immediately and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him. If we're ever in town again, I would definitely rehire Jacob to sit for us.

Jacob has watched our dogs for many years. He has been a very trustworthy Dog Sitter. He shows up on time, takes great care of the pups, and always leaves our home looking nice. Our dogs love him and are always happy to see him! I would recommend him to anyone who needs someone who is responsible and loving to care for their pets. Lucy B.
