Jacob M.'s Local Area

Animal lover with kinship for dogs

Pet care experience

I'm in a fortunate position where I have time to give pets the attention they deserve. Weather it's an active pet that like to play catch in the park or chill pets that just like to get pets on the couch. I am the go to person whenever a friend needs a petty sitter.

Jacob was fantastic with my special boy! He is immunocompromised and requires more than the average pup, plus a lot of stimulation. He was communicative with pictures and updates. I feel very comfortable leaving my Rin Tin in his care.

Jacob was wonderful. Our dog is very comfortable with him and he provides lots of pictures and updates :)

Jacob was great. Kobe can have a bit of separation anxiety in new situations but Jacob kept us informed the entire time of his progress. Would definitely recommend Jacob and would book his services in the future.

Jacob was friendly, easy-going, and took care of Jace beautifully while we were away. We didn't have to worry at all, and Jace was happy and cared for when we got back. We definitely recommend Jacob.
