Pet care experience

I’ve had pets throughout my entire life. Since 2008 I’ve helped foster “ruffly” 150 animals of all sizes, ages, tails and ears. I currently have 2 rescue cats, a rescue hamster, and I’ve had many of my own dogs as well over the years.

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Jake was great with communication, very prompt and most importantly Archie loves him. After 2 walks, Archie was waiting by the door for Jake every day. Highly recommend !

Jacob was great with our dog Millie! He took the time to get to know her and her needs - was very attentive and put our someone anxious dog quickly at ease!

Jake is so great! Awesome with my 3 senior dogs who are high needs. Jake is down to earth and just all around easy to work with. I highly highly recommend Jake! Your dogs will thank me.

Jake has been nothing short of amazing in caring for my pets, AND my foster animals! I have a revolving door of new dogs and kittens waiting for their forever homes, and Jake has shown each one care and compassion. They all LOVE him! Jake is super reliable and we have loved working with him!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat animals with care and respect. I make sure to give them the love, kindness, and compassion that they deserve. I take care of my animal’s health and safety needs by taking the time to play with them, feeding them the best foods, and paying attention to any physical and mental changes.

Information Jacob M. would like to know about your pet

Its helpful to know if your animal has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of ahead of time. That way I can accommodate and be prepared.

A typical day

One of my favorite parks to frequent is Patriots Park. There’s lots of smells to check out and geese and ducks to watch. I give lots of pets and belly rubs. If you have a fenced in backyard playing fetch is always fun.
