Animal Massage Practitioner Student
Pet care experience
I worked at a dog grooming salon for several years, which allowed me the opportunity to work professionally with cats and dogs. Many of my best friends and favorite people are dog groomers. I’m currently in school to become a licensed small animal massage practitioner, and I’m looking forward to SAMP certification so I can finally live a dream of mine.
Reviews
Always the best and most thoughtful sitter 💖
Jacob provided great communication and thoughtful care of my dog, Wynnie.
Very thankful to have Jacob take care of our energetic, young dog. He did a fantastic job and kept an eye on house and other pets for us. We definitely recommend him!
Jacob was a superstar! We were worried about leaving our elderly anxious dog, Bella, with someone she wasn't already familiar with, but once she met Jacob we knew she was in good hands. We got photo updates and easy communication. He was undeterred by a difficult interaction with our rude upstairs neighbor. We can't wait to have another vacation now that we have a trusted caretaker for our girl. Thank you so much!

Safety, trust & environment
Working at a dog grooming salon taught me a lot about canine health and safety. I know my way around the various types of leads and harnesses. I make sure fences are closed, and dogs are leashed before they can even get a peek of outside. Safety is also emphasized in animal massage school.

Information Jacob L. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know a dog’s age, temperament, and specific triggers (e.g. food aggressive, etc), if any. It’s important to know any allergies, too. Favorite treats and toys are great info, as well. Does your dog have places in the neighborhood they particularly enjoy to visit while waking, or perhaps there are areas to avoid? How often does your pet eat? For overnights: where does your pet like to sleep? How much time between bedtime potty and morning potty is typical?
A typical day
Seattle has some great neighborhood parks and off-leash dog parks. I love trotting with my pack. When we aren’t walking, we’re playing with toys—whether it’s fetch or (gentle) tug-of-war. As a former LMP and soon-to-be SAMP, massaging comes so naturally that I often don’t realize I’m doing it.

Availability
I live just a few blocks from home, which allows me to go home on breaks to care for my animals. My work schedule is very flexible, and I can often get away to tend to animals’ needs at the drop of a hat.
